I love it that she is creative enough to CROCHET her own companion. :0) I think he’s beautiful.

I’m trying to cut waaaaaay back on my carbs in an effort to lose the lard. I’m finding MyFitnessPal essential. I have a similar lunch most days, but today we stopped at the local grocery store/deli. My husband got a mashed- potatoes-with-chicken-tenders bowl. I got two chicken tenders. I discovered that two was more than I needed. I should have

• only ordered ONE;
• put one in the fridge before I started eating; or
• stopped eating at one and stored the other for another lunch.
• I did none of the above, so am over-full, but will do better next time. At LEAST I didn’t get the mac-and-cheese-and-chicken-tenders bowl I usually get. That’s a step in the right direction.

I just got on MyFitnessPal to record my lunch. We’re having the second half of the rotisserie chicken we got a couple of days ago for dinner. (my husband eats the breast and I eat the thigh and drumstick).

I was able to play around until I figured out what side I could have with the chicken and how much to stay within my new parameters.

Being able to play around BEFORE you make a mistake is a really good thing. It also reminds me that I’m trying to drink a bottle of water in-between each cup of coffee I have during the day.

We went to the orthopedic surgeon this morning for a follow-up x-ray and checkup for my husband’s broken collarbone. The surgeon was happy with his progress. He told him to gradually use his left arm more, but not to strain it with anything heavy. We’re to call back if we have any problems. No more appointments. HOORAAAY!

After that, we dropped off our tax stuff with our CPA. When I told the receptionist about the broken collarbone, she went into the back and our CPA came out, wanting to visit. We caught up a bit and it was really nice. I still hate taxes, but we won the lottery with our CPA.

I managed to drag our trash can back up the driveway some to where it lives without falling on my head, so we’re good!

I hope that you’re having a good Thursday with nice weather.
