Cold.

Wow, it got really cold here. Fast. Yesterday was bad, but I didn't go out much, so it was tolerable. Today is not as cold, but I was out more in it. Booo.

Today is the first official pointing day, and as of 2:30 it is going really well. Tuesday and Thursday were mini-detox days. No fried food, less caffeine, reasonable portions. But today is actual WW pointing. For breakfast I had 4 points of oatmeal with dried cherries. For lunch I had an awesome 6 point salad with canned salmon, (who knew, yummy!) lettuce, broccoli slaw, carrots, almonds, snap peas, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It might have been the best salad ever made in the history of salads.

After I do a few more things I will have 2 points of grapefruit. Dinner tonight is 5 points of pork roast, 3 points of sweet potato, broccoli and spinach salad. That makes 20 points and I get to have something else. Maybe popcorn for 2 more points. 22 points today. That's a good day. Or 23 I guess, if I need chocolate later....

I spent a very long time at the grocery store comparing labels and investigating options. I bought an incredible assortment of very healthy foods. I am quite pleased and hopeful that we can make some yummy stuff. Most of the actual cooking will have to wait until after the floor is installed on Monday and Tuesday, but until then we have lots of leftover meals in the freezer. I think after next week we will be out of those. Amazing. Love the big RR and Martha meals. They give us so many leftovers!

So the floor is on its way. They think it will only take the two days. I hope so as I think it won't be very enjoyable for Maddie. Tim and I have a lot of work to do this weekend clearing out the whole first floor. For how small it seems, there is a lot of stuff in here. Also, the recipe project is a very big project and leads to a LARGE pile of old magazines that need to be gone through to write the good recipes in our new book. It is amazing how many recipe magazines I had stuff in that little cabinet! I bet the floor was about to crash through.
