Your hard work is paying off for you. ... I'll sponsor you again for your Herbie walk also!!" I forgot that was another achievement to walk through the Zoo. Last year, I wouldn't have made it from the parking lot to the administration office.
Comments like these inspire me to stay the course. We haven't quite got it down pat today yet. Breakfast was perfect but I took last night's delicious hors d'oeuvres over to my son, Noah's and my daughter-in-law, Erica's house. And although I got them out of my house, it didn't mean I didn't have my list kick at the cat and sampled it all there. They are gone now and I am looking forward to getting back on track. What I took home with me were Erica's delicious non-fat, mini muffins made with no oil or butter.
Dinner is soon. I am making roast lamb and broccoli. There are enough fresh fruits and veggies in the house to round out this meal. I knew that last night would be my night to howl and arranged to the next two dinners at home that would be simple and good and definitely less calories than eating out in a restaurant. By Wednesday I will be in Miami at a birthday party at the famous Fountainebleau... yet another challenge. I am still working from the 80-20 rule instead of the 20-80 rule which I used to do.
These numbers represent percentages of good and bad meal choices. I figure if I can stay ahead of the game 80% of the time I am on the right track.
