After dropping the kiddos off for preschool, I went and walked with a friend for 2.5 miles. That was my exercise for the day.
I also figured out that milk is making me fat. =( Who knew there were so many calories in a glass. I drink my coffee with half 2% milk--after four cups that is like 260 calories--just for coffee! Coffee with half milk is now nixed! Starting tomorrow my coffee will be black with just a splash of milk.
There are a lot more calories in everything than I thought. I am going to really have to pay attention to serving sizes and portions! YIKES!
With that said--I had a bowl of cereal this morning with my several cups of calorie laced coffee. Then for lunch I ate leftover veggie migas, had peanut butter on apple slices and carrot sticks for our afternoon snack and tonight I am making a fauxagna with salad and, um, garlic bread. See, a while back I made the discovery that the marked down baguettes make rockin' good garlic bread.
Just slice them up smear both sides with the garlic butter and freeze on a cookie sheet. Then slide them into a bag and return to the freezer and you have ready-made garlic bread any time. Of course I discovered all this pre-lifestyle change.
I can only imagine how many extra calories one little slice is going to ambush me with. Maybe I can skip it tonight and just serve them to my calorie burning family! Maybe. My mantra tonight: salad is the bomb!
