Happy Healthy Monday
Man I so didn’t want to come back from vacation. Let me tell you I walked a TON and tried to eat a bit healthier. Food was so expensive there compared to here. 
Wow.. My feet held up pretty well thanks to my Earth Footwear but my knees had some issues. So I hope I can get back into the swing of things now I am back and lose some of this weight. I think hubby and I both realized it needs to be done. We got wore out in Chicago.
We did find a Subway and ate there to try to keep things healthy. I normally eat Subway at least once or twice a week. It’s such a good alternative to fast food. We would have eaten there for breakfast but we never got up in time. LOL
So my goals this week is to just worry about my eating. Healthy choices all around. I am still drinking my water (see the pic I sent @mentallyinked) and I drank a TON of it on vacation. Not one soda! So I think if i can get a handle on my food this week I can add in some exercise soon. Maybe take Cooper to the park at night a couple time or just for a walk.
I feel so out of touch with everyone. I hope you all had a good week. Let me know if I missed something. Have a good healthy week. Now for the recipe.

Glad you had such a great vacation! I was actually surprised to see post a few tweets on Twitter while you were gone. Many congratulations on drinking water and no soda – I know it’s a hard habit to break! But, it probably really helped your hydration while doing all that walking.
Have you noticed that things taste saltier now that you’re only drinking water? That was one of the first “major” changes I noticed when I stopped drinking sodas. Now, everything tastes a little saltier to me but I feel MUCH better.
Welcome home 🙂
