Happy birthday Christian!!

Not the best pic of him but there's my sweet Christian who is now offically 8 years old :)
We went and visited my grandma and she had made a buttload of homemade brownies and cupcakes for him/us. We went and got pizza for lunch, went to to grocery to buy a venus flytrap for him that he wanted and went home and swam. It was a good day. He got a scooter from me and I think my husband is taking him to a play place called Fun Spot on Saturday.

On to food~
B - 1 scrambled egg with 2 slices turkey bacon a a small flour tortilla

L - thin crust pizza with bacon, black olives, banana peppers and green peppers

Snack - reduced fat colby cheese stick

D - Subway club with baby spinach, olives onions and banana peppers, jalapeno chips and an apple pie flavored Lara bar

Snack - crackers with 1 wedge laughing cow cheese and maybe some pineapple

Exercise - swam around in the pool today but had baby with me so not much in the way of exercise. I did run in the water while holding baby from one side to the other for about 8 minutes. Doesn't sound like much but my legs were killing me. I'm sure that water resistance had something to do with that. Also brought my 5 pound weight to work and did about 15 minutes arm work with that and am doing other things throughout the evening such as leg lifts, lunges and such.

I found a very reasonably priced home for rent near where we were living that I'm going to look at tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed that it's okay and we get it.

I mentioned in the last day or so emails that I get from Fitness and I got another great one today. Here's the link to tons of healthy, low cal snacks.

Also, several years ago I bought that face oil blotter papers from Bath and Body Works and really liked them. It has occured to me before but I just remembered it again today that as far as I can tell, those paper liners that they provide in public restrooms are essentially the same thing. So here's my frugal tip for the day ~ liberate a toilet liner and cut or tear it up into the right sized pieces (approx. 4x2 inches) and voila, free face blotters :)

Adios!
