A beautiful Autumn Day
October 26th, 2009
It’s a beautiful fall day today….low 70’s with abundant sunshine. Can I bottle it up and take it with me for the LONG winter months that lay ahead? I wish!!
Weekend….weekend was good. Too short, but good. I did eat out more than I had really intended to. But did my homework for the most part, and did ok on the points. I did have to go into the bank of flex points….but thats ok too. I am ok with it. We had lunch at Eat N park, and that was easy. Lots of good choices there. Dinner was at Red Lobster. I did ok there too. Was able to stay away from the biscuits. I have started to compile a list of acceptable foods and point values in a notebook at the places we tend to eat out at the most. As creatures of habit, I got to thinking, we really eat out at the same places MOST of the time. So I researched and picked out what I know I like and what the points are for each thing. I think this will help out for times when I don’t have time to research.
TOM arrived this morning…oh joy, joy. It is such a nice day though, I made time to take the dog for a walk in the park. She did A LOT of sniffing, as usual…LOL I had quite a bit of housework and laundry to tackle today…but I will get to all of it in due time. It will still be here waiting to be done tomorrow. I also have a good deal of yardwork to do to get the yard ready for winter. Pull out garden plants, flowers and all the greenery that has become victim to the frost we must have had while I was in NY. There is also plenty of shurbs needing a haircut and of course, the never ending job of cleaning up leaves….but today…TOM is making me feel kind of achy and draggy. Maybe tomorrow I will have more energy. Unfortunately, we haven’t had a ton of nice days to get this outside work done….and DH hasn’t been much help this year either….so now I am feeling like…crap, its almost November, and so much still needs to get done. oh well…..
ok…I hear my buzzer going off for the turkey pot pie I made for dinner, which I painstakingly entered into the WW site to figure out how many points there are a serving before I even made it. So I guess I better go get dinner on the table. Hope to have more time to write and read tomorrow.

Glad you were able to plan so well with all the eating out! The hardest part for me is not knowing what I should eat, but sticking to the plan instead of going for the bad stuff! So you’re doing a GREAT job!

It’s sounds like the WW thing is going well for you. I remember memorizing calories when I first started dieting, for the same reason as you looked up your info on points.
Pot pie sounds fabulous! I have a recipe for that in my casserole cookbook but it seems so long and drawn out. I’ll have to look it up in my Martha Stewart book.
