 Day 2 is off to a good start.  I did the 2 mile workout this morning.  I have the Walk At Home app and this is the workout I did: Breakfast: 1 Medium Banana  and 1 Orgain Plant Based Chocolate Protein Shake. Lunch: Veggie Soup (Cabbage, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Frozen Multicolored Carrots, Frozen Green Beans, 1/4 head of Cabbage, 1 onion) and Chobani Greek Yogurt Black Cherry on the bottom.

If you watch my YouTube channel, you might have heard that my bad cholesterol is high.  My triglycerides are good, and overall cholesterol is good, but my bad cholesterol is high.  I do not want to be put on cholesterol medication.  My Mom had a very bad reaction so that's not a risk I want to take.  I did some research, which suggested that exercise and losing weight would help.  So, I am determined to get to work on me, one day at a time. Day 1 is off to a good start.  I did the 2 mile, Miracle Mile with the Miracle Mile Band this morning and my back exercises, given to me at PT towards the end of 2020.   Hoping for a good day of eating!  Breakfast: 1 Medium Banana  and 1 Orgain Plant Based Chocolate Protein Shake. Lunch: Baked Potato, topped with a serving of Herdez Queso Blanco, a serving of Daisy Sour Cream and 1 cup of roasted broccoli and cauliflower. Dinner: Veggie Soup (Cabbage, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Frozen Multicolored Carrot...

  From my 1914 Recipe book:   This recipe is handwritten.  Although, not all of the recipes are and it appears that some are from a later time period (1934, specifically) and are cut from the newspaper.   As I began to type out this recipe, I realized that she only listed the ingredients, nothing more.  No instructions on how to combine or what temperature to bake it on and for how long.  So, I winged it.   Peanut Butter Bread   2 cups Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 1/2 cup Sugar (or less) 1/2 cup Peanut Butter 2 Large Eggs Milk to make stiff batter (about 1/2 cup)   Directions: 1.        Preheat oven 350 degrees. 2.        Grease loaf pan and set aside. 3.        Combine Dry ingredients (flour, baking powder salt, sugar). 4.        Beat your eggs and add them to your dry ingred...
