Bad choices and Fun mornings

   Well last night I had a snack attack. Well let's just start by saying this morning I am feeling the effects of that horrible decision. I had tuna and lettuce along with a handful of chili cheese fritos. So not the right choice when trying to stay with liquids and softs. I did not pb BUT I can tell I am stuck because I could not take my pills this morning. I am now sipping on some warm strawberry tea and burping like crazy. Why do I let my mind get away with me? Why do I have no will power at times? These are things I have to think of. Last night the snack attack was all bordem I am sure.

   Onto a more fun topic. Hubs went to work this morning, so my babies and I are hanging out. Well of course they are both hungry so we decided a picnic breakfast on the floor was the best option. All the while watching Jake and the Netherland Pirates. So we are having a picnic adventure!! :)

   Now I have decided that along with my daily ramblings of life, love and living banded I am going to post a daily recipe. I love food, as you all know, so I thought I would post on the topic. I may also do a weekly weigh in with pictures and stats so y'all can keep me accountable.
