The view from here

Great day yesterday and looking forward to another great one today. Feeling much more energized!
Fifty minutes of walking yesterday and 25 so far today.
The view from here looks promising.

Busy Busy Busy!

I have been living in a nut house.
So, for the last month, I haven't had a stove. For the last three weeks I have had no kitchen cabinets. For the last two weeks I have had no counters. For three days we survived without a sink in our kitchen. Today, I have cabinets, a sink (and a half), a stove and some makeshift counters. Within the next week I will have real counter tops, a pantry to store my food in, a dishwasher (for the first time in three years!), cabinet doors and even a nice new floor. Maybe then I will want to clean again.
Needless to say, with renos and trying to get organized, I have not had five minutes to myself today and zero time to walk. However, none of this stopped me from sticking to my diet today.
Breakfast was vanilla cottage cheese and coffee. Lunch was once piece of whole grain bread with margarine, mayo and low fat turkey breast. I had two low carb cookies for my snack with a cup of coffee and dinner was 4 scrambled eggs with feta and roasted red pepper and a bottle of water. Dessert, was another low carb cookie. Probably not the best choice, but it beat the alternative.
Here's to a slightly less hectic day tomorrow and a clean house. :)

Sweet morning

Sweet cottage cheese for breakie and a morning walk with a sweet girl. Does life get any sweeter on a no carb diet? ;)

So so sorta diet day

Okey dokey. Today started of with cottage cheese (vanilla & sweetener) and blackberries and an iced coffee with sugar free vanilla.
I went to McDs to get breakie for my honey and got myself a sausage... I honestly have a weak spot for them.
I spent the day running around with my sister today doing wedding errands, so lunch was on the road. We popped into lone star where I splurged and had the lunch fajita. Way too many carbs in the three small fajitas I had, not to mention the nachos. Nevertheless, dinner was Caesar salad (I left my croutons) and meatballs (in BBQ said ... I know I know too many carbs).
I drank diet coke and not nearly enough water today. Then, when I came home and put the kids to bed I was hungry, so I had more cottage cheese.
Now, I know this is not what you would call the most ideal diet menu. However, I did not each chocolate or cookies, I did not pig out unnecessarily on crap and I was conscious of what I was putting in my body. So, although not a great day, it certainly was not horrendous.
As for the company today, it was awesome! I had a great time a s can't wait for my sister's big day!
In the meantime, diet club stars tomorrow morning. I wonder if I've lost anything? :)

So, after painting the kithen ceiling, hanging two curtain rods, shopping and rearranging my boy's room, I enjoyed a delicious dinner of chicken, veggies, avocado hummus, naan bread and salad. Have I mentioned that I have the best fiance ever? ;) i even drank four bottles of water! As a special afternoon treat I enjoyed a large iced coffee from McDs with sugar free vanilla flavour. So yummy!
