I am fifty-something years old, and menopause, for those of you who aren't there yet... is the pits! Last night... I simply HAD TO HAVE chips and ice cream!!! And immediately upon eating them, I was fine!!!
Let's take a look at my day...
Breakfast should have told me something wasn't right for the day...
I had...
...a banana and...
...animal crackers in a snack pack.
Yeah, yeah. I know!!!
Mid-morning...
one Apple Cinnamon fruit and grain bar.
Lunch was leftover...
...Joe's Homemade Chili.
There wasn't a mid-afternoon snack.
Dinner....
...baked paprika chicken and fried potatoes and onions.
Yes... I know... not a FLFL plate. No slow carbs. But it was simply what I wanted.
After dinner?
Ruffles potato chips with...
...Lay's French Onion Dip.
Followed later in the evening by...
...a Nutty Buddy Ice Cream Cone.
Okay... so I'm remorseful. Maybe even a little bit ashamed of myself. But as I said, it's in the past... the damages????
Calories: 1,675 [+235...not as bad as I expected]
Carbs: 158g [-40]
Fats: 68g [+20]
Protein: 85g [+31 yikes!]
Sodium: 1,285mg [-215....huh? who'd a thunk that????]
So, while I strayed... I didn't go that far around the bend that I can't simply get back on track now. No recriminations. Brow beating. Or shaming needed.
I did do one very quick craft yesterday. Two of the items needed for this were gifted to me from my dear Sis!
You will need approximately 3.5 pounds of decorative stones....
...and a heat proof container to place these in. Dear Sis gave me this decorative aluminum washtub. Perfect for what I intended to use it for!
Pour the stones into the container...
filling it almost to the top [leave about 1/3-inch before the top when filling].
Level off stones and insert tea candles.
Light for ambience!
This is perfect for outdoors... on the dining table...in the bath... or anywhere! It gives a rustic charm to any area!
Love this!!! Thanks Sis for the ingredients to this charmer!!!
And no... I haven't finished the table runner yet. I have to drag out my sewing machine to finish it up. And I've simply been busy elsewhere this week! I'll try to get to it today!
As I was attempting to finish up this post... I had to purchase more storage space for my photos for this blog! Can you believe it... we've already reached our capacity! LOL So we just added another 10gig storage.
Well, I'll be busy working on dear BIL's genealogy again today. What are working on today???
