Windy Wednesday

Posted renewme on November 28th, 2007 | Filed under General

The weather began to change this afternoon.  It has been incredibly mild the past couple of days.  I spent most of the afternoon running errands and doing some christmas shopping.  By the time I was done I had about 40 minutes until dd needed to be picked up from school, and didn’t want to go all the way home just to leave again shortly.  So I decided to go the the park and do a quick walk.  It was cool and very windy!  Luckily, I had brought a hoodie along, and I even put the hood up because it was so windy and my hair was blowing all over the place.  I got in a good 20-25 minute walk at a very brisk pace because I wanted to get warm fast!  I believe we will need winter coats again all day tomorrow. 

Good food day.  Yogurt with Trail mix crunch cereal for breakfast, a can of Progresso soup for lunch and Grandma’s skillet dinner for dinner.  DD make some chocolate chip peanut butter oatmeal cookies last night, and I have been very good about not binging on them.  I had 2 last night, before figuring out the points.  They ended up being about 3 pts per cookie.  And today I only had 1.  I was tempted to pop one in my mouth as I packed them in the kids lunch box, but deciced it was worth the 3 points at the time.  DS wants to make some cookies too now.  My kids love to bake.  The problem is having all those goodies around the house will be so tempting when I’m home alone!  But it is christmas time, and I remember how much fun I had baking with my mom.  Maybe I need to look for some new lighter cookie recipes to make with them.  Maybe when we do bake, I need to have someone hide them somewhere from me, so I won’t be tempted.
