So yeah I discovered I think my new favorite snack today.  It is a lot of calories so I can't have it too much but I think it is good calories (bananas have a lot of calories, did you know that?  wow).  So anyways are you ready?  You take 1tbls peanut butter and add 2tbls lite chocolate syrup and you microwave that and mix it all together.  Then you spread it on a banana....yum-o!  So yummy.  Loved it!  And since I had a very healthy low cal breakfast I could afford that snack (I made broccoli and cheese frittats...not the best but edible, gonna try peppers and onions instead of broccoli next time!).  I can't get over how yummy it was!

So my diet has been going well-ish since Josiah's surgery.  I have actually mostly eaten good with only a few slip ups of chocolate.  I haven't weighted myself, but I feel good and to me that is about all that matters right now.  I don't want to see the scale not doing what I want it to do and get discouraged so I am just not gonna be obsessed with weighing myself.  I am not saying I am not getting on the scale every again, but just going to reduce my scale time...haha. 

I started tracking my food with spark people again.  I  like them, they are pretty easy to use.  And they track my fiber, protein, carbs, sodium...all that important stuff.  My dry erase board only did calories, weight watchers only did point.  And I think all the stuff is important to track. 

Today I got my kitchen clean so I actually want to cook in there, so that is fun.  I cannot wait to have a big kitchen so everyone can help cooking, I will love that.  Having the whole family help.  I mean sure sometimes it will get frustrating but I have always loved cooking with people.  I guess that is how my dad and me bonded growing up so that is how I bond with people (particularly males which is the majority of important people in my family, haha).  I do need to empty the dishwasher still, but that is it.  I got everything done, even the drawer that was overflowing and not closing properly and even my floors which hadn't been done in an embarassingly long time.  I wanted to get most of the house cleaned today so I don't have to worry about it this weekend but now I don't so much see that happening.  I will get what I can get done and be happy though.  I am now going to go take a shower and clean the bathroom while I am in there...joy of joys!

So yeah I made this discovery today.  I was hungry and I made sure I was hungry and not just bored.  And I really wanted PB, but what could I have with PB that would allow me the 190 calories in just 2tbls?  So then I decided I wanted it on pita bread but that was 80 more calories.  Ugh...what to do.  So I realized I didn't have to eat an entire pita bread and 2tbls of PB, so I cut each in half and then put 1/4 of a banana sliced inside.  It was super yummy.  And the other great thing is that my son William who eats hardly anything healthy came over and wanted the same thing, and ATE it!  So exciting.

My biggest looser cookbooks came today.  And I haven't cooked anything from them so keep that in mind but so far I LOVE the family cookbook (I haven't looked at the original yet).  It looks like some great recipes.  I am so excited to try them.  I have spent all day looking through and seeing what I want to try to make and then sometime (prolly tomorrow) I am going to plan the meals for this week, yeah!

So far so good today...here is my food
B - 3 pancakes (and when I say this they are the whole wheat kind and surprisingly fill me up and keep me full all morning, it is shocking), SF syrup and whip cream
L - healthy choice meal minus the dessert (peach crisp) as I am trying to watch my sugar, and a dill pickle (it was so yummy and satisfied my salty tooth)
S - my 1/2 pita bread, 1 tbls crunchy PB, and 1/4 of a banana

Hubby and I currently talking dinner, not sure what we are gonna have yet.  I think chicken tacos sound the best though...we shall see!
