Excellent Food Choices = Rewards!

Yesterday was a great eating day. Hmmm....didn't cheat, (except the morning pop tart). What I really was happy about was the fact I went out to eat and didn't eat any french fries, (huge accomplishment for me). I went to the mall with my friend and all of our boys. We went to Chick-Fill-A to eat dinner. I've never eaten there but really enjoyed the food. Even my picky Alex was commenting on how much he enjoyed the chicken strips. Anyway, I didn't eat anyone's fries and paid an extra $0.75 for a side salad. Why does eating healthy cost more? Anyway, because of my food choices, and the fact I did cardio yesterday, and the fact I walked to the park...I lost 1.8 pounds! I know, not much, but hey, every little bit adds up. I see pounds like change, the more you save...the more you get! Anyway, food intake for yesterday:

• 2 cups of coffee
• pop tart
• ice tea
• raspberry lemonade
• 3 diet cokes, (I know, a little overboard on these)
• special turkey sandwich & cottage cheese, (sandwich was special as I used leftover salad as a filler with the turkey..yummy, yummy)
• chicken wrap & side salad with ranch dressing
• Fruit to go cup

So, guess what...remember my goal...must go until Friday without dessert. Well, its Friday, and regardless of the heat, I think I will do a little baking today! Dessert is even better when you make it! So, I will go to the pantry, pick something out, engage the boys in helping, and who knows what surprises I 'cook' up!
