Feeling a little better today

Not as much as I would have hoped. Thanks everyone for your nice comments and thoughts. I’m all for therapy and have been many times throughout my life. I think I will look into what my insurance can cover and what’s available to me.

I also know I need to get in some exercise. I haven’t worked out in a few weeks now. Part of the reason I haven’t gone back to the gym since my vacation is that I hurt my back playing trackball on the beach and have had neck pain since. This is most certainly adding to my sluggish feeling.

Last night I saw my daughter and her, my husband, sister, and I had a really nice evening. We went for a 2.5 mile walk, had dinner, and rented a movie. So I feel a little better.

Complaining aside, I wanted to mention a food product that I’ve had a few times (and today for lunch) and absolutely love. It’s not exactly vegan because it contains some dried egg whites.

It’s called Meatless Lemon Herb Chicken skewers by Yves. There’s no trans fat, saturated fat, or cholesterol, and it’s a good source of fiber and protein. It’s low in fat and tastes great.

I take it off the skewers and break it up into little chunks and heat it up in a frying pan, using spray so it doesn’t stick or a little bit of Earth Balance. Today I added soybeans and fresh cherry tomatoes just so they would be slightly cooked. It was heaven.

Last night I snacked a bit during the movie, but for the most part eating continues to go well.
