I tried like crazy to trigger vigorous activity on the elliptical yesterday and was not successful.  My heart rate was in the range of 150 and still no vigorous.  I am sure it is because my arms stay relatively stationary on it.  If I jog, I can trigger it.  Jogging is just so hard on the knees and the elliptical is pretty low impact.  I am going to stick with the elliptical until my weight is lower to save my knees.  I think that saving my knees is much more important that the few extra calories that I "might" burn.  My family has a history of knee replacements and I would like to keep mine... thank you! :-)

Today, I am taking the dog to the dog park where I get to fetch for the ball.  LOL  I throw the ball, the dog chases it and then I go fetch it.  That will be good for several steps and shorten my time at the gym.  The dog is driving me crazy so he REALLY needs to run at the dog park.  That will keep him well behaved for about 2 days. :-)

I told the kids that I would make them BLT sandwiches for dinner tonight.  We are also having Tabuli with 2 or 3 times the amount of tomatoes it calls for.  Perhaps some broccoli as well.

Doing well with eating 3 colors of vegetable and fruit at lunch and dinner.  The oats is turning out to be a great meal for the entire family.  Everyone has some for breakfast.  Looks like I am going to be making some every week!  I LOVE THAT!

Have a great day!
