I am thankful for my little birdie :)

I got a text today... No blog entry... I am thankful for those little reminders!  Today was a good day, It is 82 degrees outside !  I started my day with my strawberries, and an english muffin later in the morning with a tsp of peanut butter on each side, and a smear of sugarfree jam, but I think this jam is going in the garbage of Gary doesn't like it -just doesn't taste good to me.

At about 1 i had 3 pieces 1/4" x 1"x 1" of gouda cheese and a small 2oz bowl of whole grain goldfish. I was surprised when I read the package a serving is about 55 fish, and these little cups hold about 15 max. But a serving actually had 4 grams of protien.  I knew we were going to the movie today, and didt' want to eat a lot, but surprisingly I was satisfied.

the movie was good, We saw the Green Zone. It just brings closer the area where Gary jr was, and make me as a mother very glad my son is no longer there.  I had a half a nacho tray of unbuttered popcorn, ( there is a big orville reddenbacher sign saying no trans fats, but who really knows...) and I added a little ranch seaoning for flavor. and had a bottle of water.

after the movie we decided to go have Japaneese food.  I knew it wasn't Saturday, which is cheat day, but I didn't think I did too bad.  I started with miso soup, and they brought a tray with shrimp and vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken, rice, 6 california rolls, and a salad with too much dressing!  Not bad for $8.95.  I finally tried a california roll, won't do that again!  But we brought the remainder home, I ate the salad next, and it did have more dressing than I would have put on it, I have to remember next time to get it on the side.  I ate one of the shrimp, then stripped the coating off the other one.  I ate the zucchini, carrot and half the eggplant. I only ate half the chicken and rice, and brought the rest home.  I was very full, and would have stopped eating earlier if I had been eating at home.  

I will try to only have a piece of fruit tonight, we ate at 4pm and at 6 I am still feeling full.

I have only walked about 2500 steps for both yesterday and today ( total 5000, ) But I am setting a goal of 3000 tomorrow, or 500 more than I have when I head to bed tonight.

Well, it is time to color some things for the cards that I am making, and I can't eat while doing it.  A good thing to keep my hands busy.
