My BFF came over a couple weeks ago and cooked some cinnamon rolls. When I was at the grocery store,I bought me some. I couldn't wait to come home and cook them.... Mum! it just smells and tastes so yummy! Thank God Walked one mile this morning to work it off. Something sweet on Monday!

Gulp, drink, gulp= hydrate your body!!!

During the summer months, I find it difficult to drink all of my liquids. I saw these at SAMs  for $12.48. A great bargain for 24 bottles of sugar free powerAde. I put them in the freezer to get them really cold to assist with staying hydrated. 

Soul food

Today I went to a local restaurant and I wanted some fried fish for lunch. When I got to the restaurant, the fish would not be done for another 10 minutes. Therefore, I decided to treat myself.  I ordered a plate of food that I have not had since having weight-loss surgery. I ordered rice with gravy, macaroni and cheese, cabbage and turnip-green mixture, hamburger steak with gravy, sweet tea, and banana pudding. I have enough on this plate for three or four more meals. This is not the type of food that I would eat every day. But I feel it is fine for an occasional treat. It is funny because as soon as I started eating, I realized that this behavior is what Led me to have surgery. Yes, my eyes were bigger than my appetite . I also acknowledged that even though the food was in front of me, I  limited my portion intake.( yay me!!!)    Anyhow, I just thought I would share with you that little small tidbit for lunch. Well my spring break is quickly coming to a close. Another couple of month

Spring break baby!

Oh yes!! I am officially on spring break!  My plans are just to relax, relax, and relax some more! This girl is tired and over due for a break! I currently have lost 4 of the 6 lbs that I gained over the winter. My game plan for the break is: increase my water intake, exercise daily, and eat my meals on a schedule. I got my alarm set on my phone. If it is not meal time, I am not eating! I know that it is head hunger and that I am not feeding into that issue.
