For snakes alive!



Today was a productive day for me as far as getting some things done in the house that I usually neglect. I cleaned the dogs room up pretty good, vacuumed the carpets and when I was finished doing that I went ahead and emptied the cannister. Paul would be so proud! I also swept the hardwoods and took care of the dishes in the dishwasher before I actually needed things out of it. I went to the postoffice and mailed a few things to Michael and I even went and bought new air filters and changed them. I also got the frames needed for the pics that Paul and I had made before he left. They turned out so well and I will post some pics of them in this post.
I ate pretty well today which was good since I ate a lot last night for whatever reason. I need to get off the few pounds I have gained just because while I look the same sometimes I feel larger. I know that many times it is because of certain foods I eat so I am trying to be more mindful of what I am eating. Breakfast was light for me but I am trying to eat as light as I can and then eat more if I still need it. I had an english muffin with some tomatoes and one slice of ff bologna on it. A little later I had and EAS drink. For lunch I had 2 skinless chicken legs and a tortilla. My afternoon snack was a cup of watermelon and 1 and half cups popcorn. Before dinner I went on my 4 mile walk with Meg and we ran across ANOTHER snake. That makes one on each day we walked this week. I think it a copperhead. Anyhow, we survived the walk and then when I got home I had my dinner of a large spinach salad with Italian and 3 oz of flank steak on it. Totally yummy!
In a bit I am making some whole grain banana muffins to bring to CF in the morning. It is Daniel Parditas birthday (he turns 18) and I told him I would bake him something. Meg may bring her paleo banana cake as well. That sounds so good and I want to run the nutritional information on it to see how fattening it actually is before I make it.
I got the call today from WW to start my training as a receptionist. I am leary of it but I am going to give it a chance and then make a decision. Although I am not really following their plan I think being a receptionist would be ok and it would help me to stay accountable with regard to food and activity if nothing else.
I heard from Paul today on the phone. I am glad to talk with him but disappointed that he hasnt emailed me in a couple days. He did this last time he was deployed as well... He promised this time would be better but only time will tell. I do know he is busy right now so I am going to cut him some slack for now.
Ok, I am going to go so I can get to work on the muffins. No muffins for me though unless it is at breakfast if the smoothie I make before crossfit doesnt hold me through lunch.
