I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  My husband and I ended up just staying around the house this year, and although I missed our extended families (mine in particular) I think it was a good choice.  It was nice to have a quiet day that just involved a lot of relaxing.  

Overall eating for yesterday wasn’t too bad.  I didn’t make a big dinner this year for just the two us, rather we had a very late lunch of stuffed mushrooms (spinach, feta, and fat free cream cheese) and leftover 7-layer dip.  I did snack on some cookies, but overall I think I am getting burned out on all of the rich eating.  I am ready to celebrate fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains again!  And a little bit of chocolate!  

I did get out yesterday and took the boys for a long walk - I am getting better walking them by myself and I just feel so proud being able to walk them.  Does that sound strange?  I want them to be walked daily and this helps ensure that everyone is getting some exercise in.  Today is Day 2 of Week 1 for Couch to 5K.  I think I am ready - and I am committed to jogging more slowly so that I am not just exhausted by the end.  It is supposed to be in the low 70s today so that should make for it being pleasant outside.  

I plan on making slow cooker lasagna today (a Weight Watchers recipe that I love) with some turkey sausage I had purchased awhile ago.  I think it will be good and I know that my husband loves this recipe.  I would also like to make some butternut squash rolls that I found on allrecipes.com.  We will see.  I also need to do laundry, some studying (for CPA exam), and would like to start putting away the Christmas tree and decorations.  

It should be a good day overall and I am planning on being back on track with my eating.  

Breakfast: 1 cup All Bran Flakes (90), I cup fat free milk (80), I whole wheat english muffin with oleo and honey (140) and a Grapefruit Fizz (100% grapefruit juice with club soda) -  (150)

Total Breakfast: 460 calories total - whoa!  I may have to watch the grapefruit juice.  Oh well - better than soda as it is a fruit serving and all natural.  (remaining calories: 815 calories)
