I'm doing a good job so far. At least I believe I am. We'll have to see what the scale brings next Saturday but I feel like I'm doing okay.
I've been kind of shocked at all of the things that are actually power foods. Today after Church my family and I went to a Mexican restaurant. This was not planned on my part but should have been. I have my staple few dishes that I like to eat there so I didn't know what I should actually eat, because everything on that menu that I would have normally eaten I would have had to count the points because things are oozing with cheese and grease.
Today I looked in the salad section for the first time. I actually ordered from there. I got the 2 Pesos Salad with chicken. This is basically a giant plate of fajitas minus the tortilla shells. Oh man was it sooo good. Mixed lettuce, chicken, sliced green peppers, sauted onion, black beans, pico de giao, sour cream, guacamole, very light white cheese, and (what tasted like to me anyways) a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Mmmm wow! I counted the sour cream, guac, butter (that cooked the chicken and veggies from the fajitas) and cheese for about 11 points. Best salad ever!
Now like I was saying before this salad was huge, and I am doing Simply Filling so there was not a chance in the world that I actually finished this whole thing. I wanted to eat it all because it was awesome, but I listened to my body's signals and stopped when it told me to.
I was able to get my activity goal done for the day too. So at least I got 1 AP today.
I'm starting to go through my house and pack things and get things that go with a "set" together so I can start putting them in boxes. At least I am feeling the packing bug. I know I have to go through so much stuff to get rid of because I have a feeling that I'm going to be moving into an apartment for a little bit of time in the least. I don't want to but I'm going to have to pull in some serious cash if I'm going to move into a house. I just don't know how people do it.
I have been looking for a job lately (because I'm without right now) and in order to move into my own place I'm going to have to have at least $15/hr to start to feel comfortable. I'll have to scrape even then to save money for retirement. I didn't used to have to worry about that because I was making close to $30/hr before I quit to be a stay at home mom. Now that I've been out of the job market for more than 3 years I'm going to have to pray for an awesome job to come to me. Pray for me or send good thoughts my way if you would!
Here's to another good day ahead. <3
