Here I am. Back in my own little place in the world after a wonderful vacation in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming with friends and relatives.
At home it’s much easier to get my exercise, take my vitamins and watch what I eat. It’s the daily schedule. On vacation, however, it takes a little more effort. I admit to “forgetting” the supplements the day we spent shopping in beautiful dowtown Breckenridge, Colorado.
Walking is my favorite and I did alot of it. Walking in beautiful mountain country is a treat, but level it is not…all the better for a good workout for the leg muscles and the aerobic benefit. Viewing wildlife up close helps put nature in perspective and certainly has a calming effect mentally. It’s all good.
Food was everywhere. Marinated steak and birthday cake for the party. A little steak, a little cake and lots of salad with a very good merlot made a great meal. I’m proud to say I was in control when eating out, choosing on one occasion a delicious mesquite grilled chicken salad that filled me to the top. Pasta dishes, big salads and trail mix I make myself I ate with relish.
Back home I headed directly for the garden that looks like I have a black thumb, but was full of zuchinni and yellow squash, some of which I stir-fried in olive oil, seasoned with Bragg Sprinkle, and mixed together with cooked penne pasta. I topped the whole deal with parmesan cheese and pepper. Yum!
The garden also yielded carrots, anaheims, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes. It’s good to be back home.
