No walking today...DH was home so he took the dogs. I had a new volunteer commitment at church this AM and decided to go to a neighboring town to shop this afternoon. I probably put on more miles walking while shopping than I would have walking in my neighborhood.
Seriously....I've been needing a bit of retail, but couldn't justify taking the time recently to just go look at what's out there. As a former retailer (and former many other things), I just need to see merchandise. Luckily, I don't have to buy it, but I need to see what's available and what typical prices are. As much as I hated to admit it when I was younger, I'm a retailer at heart. Can't help it. I mentally evaluate merchandise, marketing, service, etc. on an ongoing basis when I'm in a store. Old habits die hard, I guess. I don't miss the hours, the headaches, and the lack of balance in my life, so I'm not (too) tempted to get back into it.
Yesterday, I made up another batch of the Baby Corn Bread to go with the remaining servings of my Pumpkin Chili. I upped the cooking time yet again, and it helped. Probably could even go an additional 3-5 minutes too. Recipe said to bake for 20-25 minutes and the latest loaf was baked for 40!
Today, I tried out one of the smoothie recipes in the Atkins book. Turned out great, but I guess I put too many strawberries in it because my NCs came out much higher than the book's stated 6 NC. I have a hard time judging berries and veggies in cups, or portions thereof. Ounces work better for me for those foods, so that's where I got off track on the recipe. And, I used fresh strawberries rather than frozen. Still, the strawberry smoothie was good for a change of pace and I just made some adjustments for dinner so my numbers would all work out.
