After breakfast, I realized I still needed to take my morning vitamins, which is no small undertaking…  Morning Vitamins – Multivitamin, minerals, calcium, fish oil, and Vitamin D Then it was time to get ready and head out to my two Weight Watchers At Work Meetings. After the meetings I did a few errands, including stopping into a new consignment shop where I scored a this pair of lightly used Italian made shoes in a nice neutral color…  New Shoes I love a bargain don’t you? Lunch By the time I finally got home I was ready for lunch, so threw together this yummy salad from what was in the fridge: salad greens, tomatoes, avocado, chopped grilled red bell pepper and zucchini, a little leftover chickpea & feta salad, and the turkey burger half I saved from last night. Tossed with a little Newman’s Own light balsamic dressing, it was healthy, filling and delicious.

After lunch, I did a few chores and decided to address the overripe bananas languishing on the counter. I can’t stand to toss away past-their-prime bananas and love experimenting with ways to use them. Usually, this means whipping up a banana bread or batch of banana muffins, but today a recipe from The Dinner Doctor described as a cross between banana bread and pie caught my attention…  Banana Bread Pie Dinner Dinner was one of my easy weeknight go-to favorites, Costco roast chicken, caesar salad and crusty sourdough bread (13 PPV)…  Roast Chicken, Caesar and Caprese Salads With a Lillet & soda (4 PPV)…  Lillet & Soda with Slice of Lime and slice of banana bread pie a la mode for dessert (8 PPV)…  Banana Bread Pie a la Mode The Day in Review: Activity: 45 minutes walking with Francie & Brenda (3 PPV) |

Breakfast #1
Banana Half & Peanut Butter
My standard way to start the day – 2 big glasses of water and half a banana spread with 2 teaspoons peanut butter (2 PPV).
Activity
Then it was out for my morning walks, first with Francie and then with Brenda for a total of about 1 hour out on the trail. This was the first day experimenting with my new pedometer
, which was fun. (I ended up logging 10,582 steps, which was a nice surprise.)
Breakfast #2
After our walk, I enjoyed the same exact breakfast as yesterday, a cup of decaf and bowl of plain Greek yogurt with fresh raspberries and a sprinkling of Grape Nuts. The only difference was today I drizzled the yogurt with maple syrup instead of honey. (5 PPV)…
