Two for the price of one!

We got home so late last night from Nikki and Ron's that I didn't have time to enter a blog, so I will do yesterday and today in this one blog. Menu: breakfast - angel food cake, peaches, yogurt, lunch - half a sub, snack - hot chocolate, mini rice chips, supper - chicken casserole, potatoes, carrots, peas, french bread. AND then there was dessert: apple and plum cheesecake. I think there's a rule out there that there are no calories in desserts when you are eating at a friend's house. :-) Anyway, I made sure that since we didn't exercise on Friday night, we went for a good walk at Nikki and Ron's. It was even cold, really cold, outside and I still went. I am not a cold weather person at all, but I knew I had to get out and walk. It ended up being not too bad out once we got walking fast. And the time goes by fast when you are talking with a friend. :-) I bought a litre water bottle on the way up to Nikki and Ron's so that I could make sure that I drank at least one litre. I found out that I drink a lot if I have a water bottle beside me all the time. I ended up drinking one litre just while we were playing games. So, although there was a dessert eaten, I did drink one litre of water AND get in a good walk yesterday, so not too bad a day. :-)

Sunday: It was a nice lazy day today. It was General Conference and we decided to stay home and watch it on the computer (internet). Menu: breakfast - angel food cake, yogurt, peaches, lunch - egg and cheese toasted sandwich, supper - barbecued chicken, salads: garden, macaroni, and potato. I was happy about the amount I ate and I didn't eat seconds which I normally would have done in the past. I also drank my one litre of water during the day and another after supper. I am really pleased about that as I am trying really hard to get in my two litres of water each day. I think that this is the first day I have been able to get all two litres in, so I consider that a success. I made my own potato salad and so I'm sure that was a lot less fattening than bought salad. I did buy a macaroni salad, but I think that I will try and find one I can make myself. I did not make my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow, but I do know what I am going to make and most of it I do have to make tomorrow. Oatmeal for breakfast and barbecued chicken toasted sandwich for lunch. I have an apple and orange in my fridge at work and that makes me ready for the day. I will sign up for my yoga class tomorrow and will walk there and back for my exercise. Pretty good start to my week, I think. :-)
