Tracy: Del Taco is sort of like Taco Bell, except they have burgers and fries too. I sometimes wish Colorado didn't have Del Taco's (I have spent a lot of calories there since they came on the local scene) although if I stick to plain tacos or their del carbon tacos, I feel okay eating it.
Amy: Bullying dh is always something to look forward to.
Julie: Oh Lord what is a phantom TOM? Why do we women have so many weird things associated with our reproductive organs????
Yesterday was a good day. I walked 30 minutes, had hoped to get in an hour but I just ran out of time. I FINALLY got to Sams Club, the grocery store and Target. It was a long day getting all that shopping done and then coming home and finding a place in my small kitchen to put away over $400 worth of food. I bought a ton of healthy things and I also picked up a new workout DVD. It's Jillian from BL's circuit thing. Might be good for me to do some strength training since I NEVER do!
Food yesterday:
Breakfast: Bagle w/ 1 t. butter: 3
Lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo: 9
Snack 1: celery with peanut butter: 2
Snack 2: veggies w/ 2 TB hummus: 2
Snack 3: Mini Luna bar with 1 cup skim milk: 4
Dinner: WW oven fried chicken, 1/4 baked potatoe w/ 1 TB butter, 1 cresent roll, salad w/ dressing, 1 cup grapes: total for dinner: 16
Total for the day: 36
Again, over points and a lot of food but today I got in 4 veggies and one fruit so that was good. And I did get that 30 minute walk in. I just wish I had skipped the cresent roll (3 lousy points for one tiny roll) but I did resist my second roll and threw it out. And that McDonald's chicken sandwich was high in points, but I was so hungry and not near home. I thought I could hold out for a home lunch but my errands took so much longer. So I pulled through the drive thru and resisted the fries. And I still have flex points. But I need to watch those high point choices. Had I eaten a lower point lunch and skipped the roll, I wouldn't have used up 5 flex points. Live and Learn!
Today is going to have its ups and downs. Dan and I have our meeting at school to discuss the learning issues with dd and see what the test results showed. I have a feeling its not going to be good news. No parent wants to hear their kid has a learning disability. But at least this school has taken the time to test her and come up with a plan. Then stepdad is coming over tonight for dinner. My new plan is once a month to see him so I guess this will be "it" for January. He is the kids' grandpa and they do love him so I need to make that effort. Then I can take him home and not worry about until the next time!
