Morning all,


I'm posting early because we have a playdate today & have to leave the house soon.  It is 'walk around the mall' day since the weather is yucky (cold rain).  Soooo, this will also be 'leave before lunch at the food court day'! LOL  I don't want to be surrounded by the smell of french fries & other fast food. ( = 
Sara- ASA sounds great!  Aren't they out in St. Charles/Peters area?  I seem to remember my MIL going to a stock meeting for a partner (for profit) company & it was out that ways.  If it is - at least you'd be going against traffic! ( =


Menu today:


B: cheeseburger quiche, coffee
S: apple, skim milk
L: big greek salad w/feta cheese, green tea
S: celery w/lite ranch
D: baked ham, green beans, 1/2 baked sweet potato & side salad (from yesterday's menu)
Dh actually brought dinner home last night!!  He brought us taco salads from Tomatillos (Sara - have you been there?  On Olive close to 170).  They are a no frills Mexican place with a small menu (burritos, tacos, taco salads are pretty much the main).  They fresh make the salsa/guac daily & it is sooo good!  Plus, everything on the menu is around $5 which makes it even better!  I didn't eat the taco shell (that was a little tough but I was pretty full which helped) & there was a little bit of "non-friendly" stuff in there: about 1/4 cup of corn, full fat sour cream-but it is just a drizzle, & their marinade for the meat prob. has a little sugar in it, but I think overall it was a pretty good meal for carry out.  It was a better choice than the fried chicken he wanted to buy (but knew I'd kill him, LOL)! 


Gotta run ladies - we have to leave in an hour & we both have to get dressed.  One great thing about being a SAHM is having breakfast in your jammies. ( =

Good morning!

Unfortunately, my pass-up-the-food-court strategy is probably just as bad for me as actually eating there...I'm usually broke by the time I get that far, tee hee.

Sara, good luck with your interview this afternoon, let us know how it goes!

Suzy, I hope you're not passed out from the 2nd Job this morning, have yourself a nice cup of tea this afternoon (unless that's against new company rules ;-) )

Today's menu (going to the grocery store after dinner):

B: peanuts and a cheese wedge

MS: yogurt

L: Soup and salad

AS: apple w/ PB

D: Leftover soup, because I didn't have time to make it last night, and probably veggie omelettes.

Things are going pretty well this week. I am in week 2 of Phase 2. I am still BF my 8 mo old DS. No drop in milk supply even though the pounds are coming off. My mid week check showed me down 3 pounds just this week! I have been really practicing a lot of self control. I made sugar cookies last night for DH and DS and I didn't even have a lick. It's not decadent enough for me to indulge. I would like to make some of the SB PB cookies though. Here's today:


B-Uncle Sam w/1% milk, splenda and a few blueberries


S-nuts


L-Salad w/tons of veggies, lf cheese and turkey


S-moz stick and baked garb beans


D-????? (that's still 2 hours away...LOL!)


S-????
