Friday at last!

I'm pretty sure this was the longest week of my life!! Being so low on food is really really hard. I think what I hated the most was feeding my kids crap! The cheapest bread, the cheapest peanut butter, no veggies or fruit. AcK!! But I tried to remind myself that at least they had SOMETHING to eat and that is more then alot of people in this world. We went shopping this morning and after eating the cupcake above (they were giving them out free at the Superstore) they sat down to a healthy lunch. A bowl FULL of grapes, blackberries, strawberries and blueberries, carrot sticks and hummus, cucumbers, rice crackers. That makes this mama so happy!! I did pretty good with our budget. We have $400 for two weeks and I spent $180, so that leaves $220 to shop next weekend. A tip for those of you near a Superstore. They discount their meat by 50% on Fridays.. seems to be every Friday. That saves a lot of money if you are a meat eater. I got Mike and I a T-bone steak for tomorrow night for $4.00.

Speaking of my lovely hubby.. a little update. He has lost 9 pounds in 11 days!!!! And I have lost 3. We are both finding this extremely easy. Just making little adjustments here and there and keeping track of how many calories are in the foods we eat is what is doing it. Tonight is movie night and we would usually have some sweet treats but tonight we are going to have chai tea lattes with a small shaving of dark chocolate for our treat. And tomorrow for our Valentines dinner we are splitting a smallish steak and on the side instead of the usual baked potato and caesar salad we are going to have a spinach salad. And Lattes for dessert :)

Happy weekend to you all!!!
