I love snow and I love Winter!

This morning we awoke to about 2" of beautiful, fluffy white snow! I adore snow and always enjoy the *first* snow of the season. I love to look out in our yard and see all white, before the dogs have made tracks all over.

There is something so magical about snow. It covers a dead and ugly lawn with a perfect pure layer of beauty. The trees are now all white too, and when the sun shines it looks like little diamonds.

How can you not love snow, and Winter? I do!

Let It Snow...Let It Snow...Let It Snow!

PS....I know I changed the backround AGAIN but I just couldn't resist with the new fallen snow...I think the blue is really peaceful! :-)

1 oz. lite cream cheese 70 cal

195/1080 cal/ 3/13 fiber

I beat the cream cheese, cocoa, and sugar and a little skim milk together until smooth and poured this over a mashed up, overripe banana.....YUMMY! If I had heavy whipping cream I would have put a tablespoon or so on top and it would have been even more like a sundae.....I was having a chocolate craving and this hit the spot~

3 slices Homemade pizza (whole wheat crust, tomatos, onions, spinach, feta, and mozzarella)
This Pizza is amazing and when I make it I never miss the meat, because I am not fond of meat anyway (only chicken)

Wow...I didn't get alot of fiber in today.....I usually try to shoot for 20g at the least...I will do better tommorrow! Have a great day/evening everyone! :-)

2 Boiled Eggs 140 cal (just because I was too lazy to scramble them)
1 oz Mozz Cheese 80 cal
8 oz Hormone Free Skim Milk 80 cal
300 cal/ 0 fiber

I did very well I only ate a bit of this and a bit of that I have no idea how many calories but I know that it was no more than 700-800.....and I only had a small (tiny) sliver of pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. When I got home I ate a small amount of stuffing a little wheat dinner roll and about 4 oz of turkey~plus I drank 64 oz. of water today~

All in all I consider this a VERY successful holiday eating day. I am usually VERY VERY out of control and I usually binge and then go home feeling guilty and crappy and have a gut ache.

I am very proud of myself today!


Have a beautiful day everyone!~

~I Hope you had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!~

I like to figure out my menu for the day (especially when I have to work) then there isn't a question what I eat.....if I track it already then I won't back out! I decided to forgo a snack tonight because I got off work late and didn't eat dinner until 7PM (after I baked the squash) instead I used butter and brown sugar which was amazing~ I baked the squash then put the butter and brown sugar in the squash and broiled for 5 min. YUM......it's crazy that I didn't know that I liked squash!

Happy Thanksgiving ALL!!!

This was a wonderful eating day...I felt satisfied allllllllllllll day...even though my calories were a little low, I do think the ey was starting the day out with protein (eggs) I am going to try and eat more eggs because my body responds to them.....I may hard boil some eggs in the morning while baking some chicken! I will definately eat this day of food again.....it's a good thing I don't really ever get tired of eating the same foods over and over.....it's actually easier and kinda comforting knowing WHAT you are going to eat....I really like to plan out my meals! I am feeling much better today! Hope you are all doing well.....have a beautiful day!~

It's Monday and I did get sick yesterday.....it was the beginning of strep (I'm pretty sure) I started drinking (Tazo Green Tea) I swear that stuff is MAGIC.....and today I feel better. Still stuffed up but sore throat is gone....YEAH! I am still cold and a little achey, but I know with rest I will good as new tommorrow......

I tracked in my notebook and since it's three day now I am just going to start up tracking tommorrw.....I didn't eat nearly enough calories yesterday and today because I just didn't have a appetite...so my calories were actually pretty low and I tried to eat well...but also I was eating what sounded good at the time...

I hope this post finds you happy and healthy~

Karla (((((HUGS)))))

I tracked in my notebook yesterday but took a *free* day because we ate out last night......I am also tracking in the notebook today but woke up *sick* sore throat, achey....ect. So, I will record my foods hopefully tommorrow when I feel better.....I am upping my calories today because I don't feel well, but eating clean and putting stuff in my body that will nourish me.....:-)
