On Friday I got my Shingles Shot and, like all the days I've received vaccinations these past needle-heavy 2 years, I proceeded to do a massive workout in a race against the side effects.
So I did my usual morning Pilates/resistance band workout and then walked 13.5 miles for various errands. That's a half marathon😮. On Saturday my feet ached and the injection spot on my arm was tender, but otherwise I had no symptoms.👍🏻🤔. Had planned to just spend the day in bed, reading & napping, but instead I got up early and did my morning workout like usual and just soaked my feet.
Random stuff: For the last month or so I've skipped breakfast on weekends. I've been portioning out a serving of Friday & Saturday night's dinner as soon as it's cooked and have eaten that instead of fruit at lunchtime on Saturdays & Sundays. It's allowing me to bump up my weekend protein intake while also reducing my portion size at dinner. I don't track calories, as I eat very slowly and stop when no longer hungry, but I do add up potassium and protein in my head, as they're my primary concerns.
Scale's batteries died. Weight is registering as "Lo" 😄
More Random: Growing up my parents saved grocery money by relying on their ginormous vegetable garden and fruit trees. Snacks were usually fresh fruit plucked or picked, and we only had dessert on weekends. This WOE is vastly different from the standard American diet, and I believe it's what saved me from a sweets/sugar addiction. So giving thanks to my parents for all their hard work in feeding me and teaching me how to appreciate nature's bounty. 🍊🍋🍎🍅🌽🫑🥕🧅🥦

@Otb: my dogs still hurt today, but I'm going to push them for about 4 miles on a trek to the beach today. Helps work out the kinks. @Breezy: I just have noticed all the candy comments on FS lately. Halloween was the only time that stuff ever entered my house. We just didn't have the money to feed desserts to 4 kids every day (or pay for a dentist afterwards). I'm thankful to them for not instilling that habit.

JB, my mother grew up without extra money for candies either and she decided we wouldn't have them daily (my father was always at the Dentist as an adult $$$). Grammy's house was the best, she would make the sweetest 'treats' from their garden. There is plenty of natural 'sugars' in fresh fruits and veggies and they come in their own wrapper 😍😉 I really miss that garden!

@Breezy: Feeding sugar to kids is a nightmare. They will bounce off the walls. Even if we just ate apples or peaches, we were still encouraged to go burn them off outside. Did a lot of bike riding as a kid. My favorite grandma had a garden, too. ❤️

My parents ate well all of their lives and were never fat. I veered from their example and am paying for it.

@Morticia -- How? You live on a farm! I envy you having land to grow things. I've got herbs, but that's it.
