Happy Easter Everybody!

Happy Easter Ya'll!     I hope everyone had a great time hiding eggs and helping the wee folk find them.  

We had a very quiet Easter and I thought I had gotten away with being tempted with Easter Evilness until my sister came over with Easter cookies and Easter ham.  Don't quite know why you are supposed to eat ham on Easter, but she bought it anyway.  Good news is that my DH scoffed it all down and I finished off the rest of my big Atkin's taco salad.  'Nother crisis averted!

 Remember, if you must eat anything, go for the boiled eggs...theyze pure protein and won't raise your blood sugar!

Love ya'll,

 Happy Easter Mary!  (and everyone else!)We are getting ready to go over to some friends house, I am bringing some yummy strawberries, and they are serving turkey and Lamb! and other than that, I have done pretty well today, I had a few deviled eggs, and my shakes and that is about it! I was offered Easter Cookies too and I did not partake, I may have a small taste of carrot cake at the easter Dinner tonight! but I will know in one bite whether it is worth the Calories or not! have a great rest of the holiday everyone!

Yum....strawberries!  You picked a great low glycemic fruit to help you make it through the day.  For me, cake is never worth the calories...now gourmet chocolate, that's another story!

 welp Im back from the dinner and I had some yummy strawberries for dessert! but NO carrot cake!(not even a bite!) and I even helped make it! so not bad if i do  say so myself, the berries were delicious !!

Yay you!  I found that when I quit eating junk, a good strawberry can taste better than candy.

 So True Mary! so True!

This Easter at church this morning I did really good!  Last Easter, I used celebrating Easter as an excuse to eat a bunch of cookies, brownies, etc. after our church service.  This messed me up for a long time afterwards.  This time, I prayed in church to God, and after the service, I didn't even want to eat any junk food at all!  I just drank a cup of coffee with creamer and Equal, and then we left. 

They keep the junk food in another room from the coffee in our church, so it was easier this year to avoid it altogether.  Tonight, we will have sugar-free chocolate Easter eggs after a rotisserie chicken for dinner.  This is the only Easter junk food we'll both consume.  I told my husband about it, and he was assuming I'd get a sugary chocolate bunny instead, but he's a diabetic, and I am protecting him as well as myself.  I know it has fat in it, but we will be eating them in moderation, sharing a six ounce bag between ourselves.  Not eating a giant sugary chocolate Easter bunny, like in the past.

Everybody have a happy Easter!  We also bought a new microwave today.

Way to pray Denise!     

Well, if you know in advance that you are going to be eating junk, at least sugar free is better than 'chocfullasugar'.  You're doing a great job of whipping your husband into shape...before you know it, he'll be saying it was all HIS idea!  I know that's how it is with mine.

The Easter Bunny showed up and left me a chocolate bunny - and I ate it - ALL OF IT!  Oh well, tomorrow back to the gym and back on my diet.  Happy Easter!

Didn't I warn you about this very thing happening the other day?  I can't believe you ate the 'whole' thing! 

Well  fiddle dee dee Scarlett, tomorrow IS another day!    

The twins are going to be wondering why that walk is taking so long tomorrow.  Hehehe
