HKS (Healthy, Kind Support) Accountability Group July 22nd

Good Tuesday morning!

You’ll find me in the kitchen today, baking a cake for my husband’s birthday tomorrow. And since we have AC, I won’t have to worry about the icing melting (I’m remembering the carrot cake disaster a couple of years ago). I asked David what kind of cake he wanted and he chose strawberry shortcake. So I’ll make the two cake layers today, but will make the whipped cream topping and macerate the strawberries tomorrow. It will be a light summer dessert.

I’m trying to not stress about food during this vacation. We’re eating out more often (we usually eat out only once per month), and I am indulging in treats here and there, so of course I am taking in more calories. As long as I get back on track afterwards, no harm is done.

So what will your day look like? We’ll go shopping for chair covers for our patio dining set. And we’ll look for a patio umbrella as well, since the awning that the previous owners had removed needs at least 500$ in repairs, which we are not willing to pay at this time. We’re hoping to find a good deal.

We’ll also go for a walk by the water. My plantar fascia doesn’t hurt after warming up and I am keeping with my PT exercises, so I can walk for 1-2km without any issues. And I need to get over my dislike of old-fashioned HIIT workouts and finally get on with the last three workouts from the Bodyweight challenge. I feel stuck, and not just because of my foot issues. It’s all about mind over matter at this point.

Hope everyone will enjoy a wonderful day 🙂
