A Few of My Favorite New Things

Catherine has me hooked on these fat free muffins. She made some last week and brought me some. They are really yummy for fat free. I have them in the afternoon with some fat free cottage cheese and pineapple and the three make for a really great pick me up in the afternoon. I am trying the diet plan that is outlined in my FIRM exercise program and one of the afternoon snacks is a muffin with cottage cheese and fruit, which I love anyway. So, these make the perfect addition. I lost three pounds last week. I know I won't lose that much every week, but I'm hoping I can drop the baby weight by the end of June. That would be when Carter is five months, which would be great because I'll need the rest of the summer to drop the other 15 pounds that I had to lose before I got pregnant! My goal is to fit into my "skinny" clothes again by early to mid fall. I'm tired of sporting my maternity jeans still! I can't fit into anything and it's time to get serious about my fitness plan again.

Another item I'm in love with right now is International Delights White Chocolate Coconut Creamer. It goes perfectly with my favorite coffee: German Chocolate Cake. Whenever I have a sweet tooth I make a cup of coffee with this yummy creamer and it hits the spot! If you like coconut, you'll have to try it!




One last new favorite is Greek Strained Yogurt in Garlic Cucumber flavor. It is heavenly on whole wheat pita chips. Catherine introduced this to me too and it is sooooo good. I put it on red pepper strips or pita chips and it goes great with a salad and turkey wrap for lunch.


We had a great but fast weekend. We went to Hannah's school carnival Friday night. The girls got their hair dyed pink while they were there. I'll post pictures this week! They loved it! Saturday we went to Charlotte to visit Melissa in the hospital and we ate at Red Robin, one of our favorite restaurants. We only go once in a while because it is pricey for a burger joint but the girls love it (as do Joe and I!) I tried something new this time. I got the Bruchetta Grilled Chicken sandwich. It was very yummy. Today was church and laundry day! Joe and I worked around the house and we watched movies this afternoon with the kids while it rained. After the rain stopped, they played outside and we played with Carter. It was a great day. Have a great week and I'll post Carter's three month picture soon!
