Darn Candy

Thursday, January 4th 2007

I have such a problem with candy! I went to the store to get gluten-free snacks for our trip tomorrow and they had Christmas candy on sale-our favorite gluten-free, but fattening kind. And a tin of popcorn-which I asked for for Christmas and didn't get. So I told myself that I would watch my portions and eat some only in moderation. Actually, I was successfull with those things. I didn't overdo it with those. I found some M&M's that I didn't know we had. I had too much of those. They...

Junk day

Wednesday, January 3rd 2007

But I know he won't remember how regular food tastes like I do. I think one thing I'm worried about (and this is quite selfish) is that I'll be baking a ...

Feeling under the weather

Monday, January 1st 2007

I have been feeling yucky lately-sore throat, runny nose, sneezing. But as a mom of young boys there is no time to be sick. Today was no exception. But right around nap time, I really started feeling awful. After the boys went down for their nap, I made myself do my WATP walking workout. I kept telling myself I'd feel better after the workout, even though I suspected I had a fever. I was right about both things. I did have a fever, but I did feel a little better after working out. Luckil...
