Weekend Report & Friend Makin' Monday

I think the weekend went pretty well.  We went to the church picnic and enjoyed the evening talking with friends.  I was a bit apprehensive about eating, so I waited until most everyone had served themselves before getting my food.  I stuck with just one hot dog, but really enjoyed the watermelon someone had brought.  One of the ladies from church is a very healthy cook and we were talking.  I confessed that we were watching our weight (ala WW).  She pointed out the dessert she brought, Banana Nut Muffin/Cupcakes with Carmel icing, was not only low-fat, they were only 150 calories.  I was so glad I shared with her, because I would have passed them up.  What a delicious treat it was. 

There was also a couple of NSV's happening around here too.  I slipped on a pair of jeans that I bought last year.  They were tight as could be then, but this time around they zipped right up.  After buttoning them, I undid them and zipped them up again, just to make sure I wasn't imagining things.  I wasn't and what a good feeling it was.  And when we went to the church picnic, I suggested to Carl we take the four-wheeler since we could travel on the gravel roads to get there.  That was a first because it's something we just don't do.  It was fun, but the threat of rain when it was time to leave made us get home just a bit faster.. lol.  No sooner had we made it into the house, the rain came down.  Talk about good timing.  And it was a bit daunting to climb on in front of everyone, but most of them love me and accept me for who I am.  So it's all good.

FMM: What’s in Your Fridge?

1. List a few common items that can always be found in your fridge.  We always have eggs, skim milk, and cheese on hand.  And pickles...pickles of every kind.
2. What kind of milk do you drink?  Most often, we drink skim.  Carl eats cereal though and he doesn't like skim milk on it, so we buy a 1/2 gallon of 2% for that.
3. What do you currently have to drink in the fridge? Other than milk, for us personally, nothing.  There is Gatorade, Ensure, and V-8 in the fridge, but they belong to my mom.
4. How often do you clean out your refrigerator?  Every Friday before I go to the grocery store.
5. What’s the healthiest thing in it right now?  Tomatoes fresh from our backyard.
6. What’s the most unhealthy thing in it right now? Potato Salad.  We haven't ate any of it, but it was leftover at a party and was brought home. 
7. What do you wish you had in it that you don’t have now? Guacamole.  Love that stuff!
8. How often do you shop for groceries? Every Friday I go to the store with a list.  Then on Tuesdays, I usually have to stop in again for more fruit.  Other than that, I don't like shopping at any other time.
9. What’s the weirdest thing in your fridge right now?  I'm going to say yogurt.  Although yogurt itself isn't weird, the fact that I buy it when I don't even like it is.

It's been fun!
