Fabulous Friday!
April 4, 2008
Doesn’t everyone just love Friday? Especially Fridays in the spring, when the weather is getting warmer and the farm stands start to open. I am so ready for summer.
Anyway, what made my Friday so fabulous?
Well, I solved the childcare issue, had a great morning with the toddler, got something accomplished at work, bought a crap load of fresh produce for the weekend, made an awesome dinner, and went for a really fun, really long, family walk. I also had a guest post published over on the diet blog at Diets in Review (they review like every diet known to man and have a nice Weight Watchers write up, it’s a pretty cool site) and started development on the new community.
Now it’s off to bed early!

Hey Roni, congrats on the great job!
We just got a new tub of Ben and Jerry’s (eep!) in this limited time “Magic Brownies” flavor and I’m so worried I’m going to scarf the entire thing! It’s funny how that happens, isn’t it?

I’m curious – how many points do you allow for in your maintenance mode?

Sounds like an awesome day! Child care issues can’t be so stressful. There were always the worst for me. Thankfully now my kiddos go with me to work. The benefits of being a nanny I guess!
I was looking at those little mini crisps. I just switched to core. Are they core ingredients or too processed for that?

Thanks guys! It was a great day.
Alana – I think I’m going to post about this soon but for reference I shoot for 25- 35 points a day.

If you get the 100 calorie popcorn it is only 1.4 pts for the bag, (single serving bag) And it is good!

Ooh .. you had McDonald’s Southwest Salad? I love that, but McDonalds around here discontinued them. I wonder why?
