Healthy Food Chart

The day is wrapping up and I am getting ready to start my weekend. I ventured out of the house again this afternoon to mail a package, go the grocery store and get something for lunch. I am still using Mike as my chauffeur to do these errands...I know I'll have to figure out how to do it on my own soon but one hurdle (the dog walk) was enough to tackle today. We are actually going to our friends house for dinner tonight and I am in charge of bringing salad and dessert so that's what I am taking care of now. Our friends also have a new baby so I think we'll be doing a lot of these "dinner dates" with them at our house or theirs. It's easy and enjoyable when you split the task of making dinner too so it's a win-win for all of us. For my lunch I had a hummus and veggie sandwich on whole wheat - and unlike before (when I was pregnant) I ate the whole thing in one sitting...it's good to have an appetite and a normal sized stomach back again! Hope you have a great weekend ahead of you -- do something fun!
