A walk in the park

Being a Sunday evening, I will keep this fairly short. Got some stuff to do before bedtime. Let's start with the food. Breakfast was an orange and oatmeal. Lunch was two turkey taco meat wraps. For snack I made these healthy oatmeal cookies made with 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup dried nonfat milk, 3 tbsp wheat flour, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp raisins, 1 tbsp chocolate chips and 1 cup applesauce to bind it all together. I made four huge cookies out of it by baking it at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes on a cookie sheet. Each cookie is only 200 calories and full of fiber and protein. I haven't ate dinner yet, but am at around 1300 calories for the day. We went to the park this afternoon and walked a trail for about 20 minutes. Then we went to a department store to just browse around and I picked at the very back of the lot to get extra walking. The kids were not too thrilled with that, lol. That's about it for the fitness and eating part of my day.

I am a tad concerned with some things though. First off, my left knee is inflamed and hurts. It's not like a bruise, but more like something twisted or sprained. It has hurt since this morning. I thought I just slept in a bad position and figured walking would work it out. It didn't. I will take it easy on it the next few days. That should be easy since we are expecting rain and cooler temps. The other thing is moodiness. I am so stressed this evening. It seems that everything is getting on my nerves. I had a Diet Mountain Dew, so it's not caffeine. I have had decent carbs, so my blood sugar shouldn't be low or high. I'm just trying to kick back and chill. I think a few minutes of me time will solve that issue. No worries, nothing major.

I'll weigh in tomorrow, but between the inflammation and swelling in my knee and the sodium in the food I've had this weekend I am not expecting too much. That's all for now friends. Have a good one!
