Day Nine

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!
