Great Start!

Today was a great day! I ate my healthy cereal combo for breakfast (actually lunch since I got up so late). I knew I had to make myself be active so I cleaned out the truck and loaded the items that have been collected for the fire victims. Their aunt is coming through here on her way to Atlanta and I am going to meet her so she can take it down to her.

I took a rest and then Megan and I started looking through my cookbooks and deciding what we wanted to cook. I even picked out 2 recipes for the next 2 days as well. Then I took Nike for a walk. The path I take isn't very long, maybe about a 1/2 mile or so but I make sure I keep a fast pace and the last leg back is all uphill. I am generally panting by the time I get back. Just knowing that I had done it made me feel good.

Dinner tonight was a Hot & Sour Shrimp Stir Fry. This recipe was really good and Megan did the cooking. Can you believe it? I actually let someone else cook in my kitchen? LOL

I know that each night after we are all relaxed we tend to have some sort of dessert and if we don't have it, we usually end up making a sandwich or something. So tonight we made a fruit salad. One grapefruit, one navel orange, one tangerine, one green apple, one red apple, some golden raisins, and a few walnut pieces all mixed together with a little mayonnaise. I realize that mayonnaise is fat but the amount is small especially compared to what I usually eat at this time. Plus, the stir fry was very lean as well. And the fruit and nuts are all healthy items.

So today is January 1, 2010 and a brand new start on taking care of ME!
