    yup, they do have sugar, but they are better than lots of other "breakfast foods" and they keep me full while satisfying my carb craving.  Breakfast is about the only time I have major carbs, so for me they work well.  I don't have yogurt and fruit with them, just them with water.  As in all things, moderation :)  I love breakfast would eat a couple if I could since I usually get up at 5, I have to really pick the time to have it otherwise I'm hungry again by 9 or 10!!!  and heaven knows that's no good!  It's all one giant balancing act right? just have to find the balance for you!

    Heylo Girls!

    Biscoff: I know it has no nutritional value ( I believe I already mentioned that), but its tasty. I use less of it than I do PB, so Im actually saving MYSELF calories.

    Since my work switched banks, I can walk or ride my bike there in the mornings instead of driving. So generally (unless its pouring rain) I will be getting in a bit more exercise each day :) Its 8/10 of a mile. Today, I walked it in 8 minutes (and that was waiting a minute each way to cross the street). So, very good!

    Rebecca, I think those cookies are great for a quick bite in the AM. Still gonna get some next time Im at the store :) Have a fab day running around and doing laundry and all that jazz.

    Its awful warm here today. We havent had a warm day in sooo long. Its been dreary and in the 50s and 60s all summer. So when it all of a sudden heated up quickly today, was a bit uncomfortable. We are just not used to this weather! I was sweating my bum off at the bank this morning, could feel the sweat running down my back and dripping down my neck. Ick.

    Im thinking tonight will go a lil strangely... as soon as I get off work, hafta make dinner. Eat, then make sure Sean is in bed by 7 (thats pushing it...)... and THEN Ill do my exercise and shower.

    Ended up eating about half of my leftover chicken/rice/cabbage for lunch, so ends up being about 1/4 cup of rice, 1/2 a serving of chicken, and a couple bites of cabbage and carrots.

    oh no, Debi, I'm so sorry you had an un-nice visit at the NH ... hugs and more hugs for you.  You are so good to be able to get past it and it must be really hard not to take it personally.  I feel bad that happened to you and there isn't even anyone to get mad at since they don't really know what they're doing.  sweet of you to bake for them.

    Debi so sorry about your aunt causing trouble for you. Wish I could give you a big hug. Was your aunt always causing trouble. People that work in NH homes told me that old people that caused trouble most likely were like that when they were young it was more so as they aged.  Wish things would get better. It is too bad you can't visit your Mom in peace.  And I don't know if I would have left the brownies, lol just kidding, maybe.

    Evening ladies

    Debi, aww Im so sorry you had a bad day at the NH. I know you know they dont mean to make you sad or hurt your feelings (or frustrate you for that matter). But its still so upsetting. Im sorry you have to go through this. Please know us girls love you and are here for you *hugs*

    Dusta, lol on maybe not leaving the brownies :P

    Tonight really didnt go as planned. They got Sean his security paperwork this afternoon, way too stinkin late. So he had to fill out 10 years of history (jobs, addresses, etc) tonight. Exact dates when he moved when and where. Of course I didnt remember, so we had to search old pictures on the computer for days we took pics of new apartments, etc. Just a scramble. Blah. No time to make my waffles from scratch and cook a thing of bacon. So, off to McDonalds I ran. He ate quick, then we got everything ready for his morning (to make the morning run as smoothly as possible). It was nonstop, just to have him in bed by 730. And thats just for about 6 hours of sleep. Blah. He needs that rest. He drives jetways, which dont seem complicated, until you realize some planes have a teeny tube that you hafta fit next to within like stinkin millimeters without hitting with the jetway. Theres just no room for error, and its an extremely expensive part if you hit it, delay a flight... on and on.

    Anyway, after he went to bed, I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, wiped the counters and swept the floor. And organized a closet.

    Im really gonna hafta figure out a way to have dinner on the table in 10-15 minutes each night. Im not exactly sure how... If its something to bake, I can come in from work and let it cook while Im working. Or slow cooker meals, obviously. Even if its something easy Sean can start for me too. Im not big on warming up food that Ive cooked already though.

    No exercise tonight. I just dont want to with a full belly. Will start doing them in the morning from here on out I think.
