It's a New Week

Yes, it is a new week with a fresh start, and I'm already behind.  Of course, I just noticed the title on my last post "...Does I have to Count It"  I can't stop laughing!  I'm not sure what my original title was, but I recall changing it.  Guess I forgot to double check it. 

Over the weekend was Day 8 - Splurge Strategically Part 1 and Day 9 - Splurge Strategically Part 2.  I love snack foods, and most of them are the high calorie treats I don't need.  Actually, after making my list of the ones I do love and the ones I don't, I was really surprised by the outcome.  I love pizza, wings, chips, brownies, Oreos, ice cream, Mexican, and fried rice.  I can do without chicken fingers, "extra" bread, sauces, and some cheese.  As you can tell, I need to really think through my lists.  I've already decided that I don't need to purchase certain things, so they won't be temptations at home especially at night.  I also need to finish pulling out all that I have, and putting them in an out-of-sight container.

As for today, I did okay until I ate half a piece of caramel cake.  It was so good, but that is a lot of calories I won't be getting back.  I did make a good choice in walking to the conference center instead of driving over.  That was almost 4,000 aerobic steps total.  Wise decision!  I took dinner to our children's minster and his family, so I just cooked extra for us.  Pork tenderloin, sauteed zucchini, applies and cranberries, and mac-n-cheese.  I'm not the biggest fan of mac-n-cheese, so that is easy to pass.  Thankfully, the remaining items were healthy.

I have several things on my heart I would like to blog about, but it is going to take a few days.  I haven't been resting at night, so it makes it difficult to concentrate.  Hopefully, rest will come soon, and I will be able to think again.  Yes, pictures from the Easter weekend will come whenever I find a few good ones of Pecan.  She never wanted to slow down for the camera, so most of them are of her on the go.  :-)
