Fruity-licious!

<p>Happy hump day! As many of you  may know it’s also Ash Wednesday. I know Catholics traditionally observe Lent and give up something. Even though I’m not Catholic I decided to do something that would “better” my life. <strong><u>I gave up the snooze button!</u></strong> Now I was so happy & thought it was so original until I ready <a href="http://tippytoediet.com/">Cammy’s post</a> tonight(she listed what I’m giving up)! ;) I’m sticking with it though!! And I started out right this morning and got up after just one annoying ring of the alarm!</p> <p>Kyle and spent some time together catching up this morning. I made an<strong> executive decision</strong> to skip the gym and enjoy some time with my man! Seems like things have been crazy lately and we were starting to get caught up in the “<strong>busy-ness of life</strong>”. So it was nice to take some <strong>time</strong> for <strong>each other</strong>! </p> <p>I still made it to my office nice & early. I switched up my breakfast this morning and had a <strong>over flowing</strong> bowl of fruit. I peeled and <strong>orange</strong> and sliced up an <strong>apple</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8YpvDuWyqY15Dz68JPfgtyq6vK4zb3Awm-8govqUNWiOroEOlHMCJZKZPnLHpxe4Lyi_7wwHVfcLkjOYN-Cn1SuoOFpnMD2m3ix5ebIvf7JeGkgxX5kLeGX7JH_zuNGamUygMegQDWXw/s1600-h/DSC06064%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06064" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6XsDjZaSiYmQFSJ_10ogHXoPaINnMiRQrzPDYPzmxXT7LseSW3XPSOcl4TvCsCE7IVZMaUxQVI8ota91w8EbHFms6G5R5BIJ4hgAgwe42SH7lPSvffRXF256huuZ23FSOJiQdgBs9Fpch/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06064" width="404" /></a> </p> <p>An hour or 2 later I had <strong>1 cup</strong> of <strong>grapes</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. Can you tell I’m trying to get my <strong>fridge cleaned out</strong> before all this delicious fruit goes bad?!?!?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2m_UWIeDofgJPSR6cuGW1WyQWxqlM17tnuWp2ObOBr2gmFzm8zd3PqsKmbYyRwis8DNc-w-0QTpP80jCdeKTqYUwsJ-9QLghxEIZGlM1Rb3_mV8Gx-ffpEyo7Ow2qPWN26-pPIPCYVDe8/s1600-h/DSC06065%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06065" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXDyUODyVyB95A9a-Mgy9ZE-3LCTHYAwnYzAu8tU9xaEdAvR3zm2joJKNekT379hZsZmhbe8H9gIoPdHdXbPRmJO7bvGxyr9rWdbdyTYWI2TP5yz-80gbdK1Dx8lZkFgi_EEjBZQq5mhd/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06065" width="404" /></a> </p> <p>My Dad called me around noon and said he was in town and wanted to <strong>meet up for lunch</strong>! What a nice surprise! Before I went I had my last fruit of the morning, <strong>1 1/2c strawberries</strong>, <strong>ww vanilla yogurt</strong>, and 1<strong>/4 c <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/02/few-updates.html">homemade granola</a></strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw43GC4-Prb8yuEN2DYZwRSuRCBZZOmflchktwgQoJNbHM8zDMkO9GvnMXLU3jbaZl-NmoK7J-x4_z-bMn-8t7upO4F5LDEkV9QUgKQ7Zjqzf8JUrzCb5Quyk2avmcMTuIHrdk_wGb-7xM/s1600-h/DSC06066%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06066" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZY-0wyBI80kwtaGlv0yAOFTUyMzqspa52ufI9uK9ORlyZ-yZc24laaR30s9OtFpuG9kICa8g5-J0TWlm5_wAp3hoNR5O_WSTZBcfZiWGSS6_M5TA7BG7McsPsr1vO7Z41YXum94sWzzz/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06066" width="404" /></a> </p> <p>I met up with my Dad for lunch at Applebees.
