Menus and Miles Monday June 27th
Hi everyone!
I used FitDay, it was okay, but I just use the one here on OH now. Like many of you I just don't feel like inputting all my foods again and starting over, I've got a nice long list of things I've already put in. I have found that some things are way off from what I use so when something looks funky I make my own and feel better (like the fat content on chicken thighs?! the OH values nearly gave me a coronary but looking on the package told me a whole other story, isn't that nuts?)
Over the weekend and couple friends came over and we went swimming (very cold, but we kep warm walking back and forth in the water) and then went to wegmans. While there I made 2 discoveries. One was a low carb tortilla and DH and I are so excited that we can have taco night again (I can manage 1) and we also found these things called Coco Pop cakes. Apparently other people on OH use them too since they are in the OH food log already (the tortillas were too!) They are a light n fluffy disk that makes a handy delivery system for peanut butter, tuna salad etc. Using in place of bread and at 16 calories and 4gm of carbs each i think they are totally worth it. They have another version with 5 gm of protein in it but it jacks up the calories and the carbs so I said no thank-you I can make up those 5gms with whatever i am topping it with.
So that's my story of the weekend.
My story for today is I forgot my cheese sticks! And I'm bitter!! I had a cikby jack planned to go wtih my lunch and a string cheese to go with a snack. Grr. Moving on...

Happy Birthday Roz. I saw you sneaked it into your menu. Hope you have a great day.
I had a kid over to do some yardwork and I am thrilled with finally getting some help. The business, yard, ponies, garden and house get overwhelming at times. I have some help with the house, now if this kid works out for the summer I will be in great shape with the yard and garden and I can focus on the business and the ponies. Hurray.
