Victories: Keeping the guacamole in check at lunch. *Scraping the cheese off my tinga.

Defeats: Still struggling with balancing everything. Some days my food is spot on and my exercise is off and some I don't get me water in but I get all my exercise in. Little by little, I'm getting better, though.

Observations: I looked at the resatuarnt menu before I left for lunch and I was planning to have a fish dish. The tinga is something that I love and was the special of the day. I didn't expect it to have cheese on it or I would have asked them to hold it... that was the most fattening part of the dish by far. I think I did the bst I could once I had it in front of me, but the tuna carnitas would have been a better choice, so I should have stuck with me plan. Next time I will.

Victories: At the grocery store, getting a box of 100 cal. packs to share among me and the kids, instead of a candy bar, or donuts, etc. I did really good until dessert.

Defeats: Eating the cupcake and fat free cake. Not getting my water goal or exercise in.

Observations: *If you haven't tried this smoothie, you should. You can make a yogurt smoothie with banana and any other fruit of your choice, then put in a big handful of raw spinach, blend, and enjoy! The spinach just disappears and you can't even taste it. But you really need the banana in it. **Okay, so I had the 2 pretzel packs in an effort to be full and done before getting to church because I knew there would be food there. I was there for an event for 13yo daughter Doris Day, and I went to go nurse baby Elvis halfway through. My youngest daughter, Shirley Temple, brought me a cupcake from the refreshments. I ate it. I stupid. It wasn't even good. Overcooked. So then, to make myself feel really guilty, I went and ate two pieces of that Bean Puree Cake I was telling you about the other day....with frosting. Yeah. I are smart.
