Which Team are you on?

My day started out very healthy. I completed a two mile run then I  had a 5 point breakfast. The cereal is from Trader Joes "Toasted Bran Flakes" with fresh fruit and Almond Breeze. Yep! I had to add the bacon in. I LOVE bacon! Until I think  about the poor pig......AJ and I then spent some well needed time with Scotty and Jenna. We love them so much!
Now the BIG question of the day......drum roll please...... are you TEAM JACOB?

Or TEAM EDWARD?

For me, definitely Team Jacob. Seriously, who could resist those abds? Actually, I am getting ready to watch Breaking Dawn now. I was not one of the ones who was at WalMart last night at midnight. I do appreciate a good love story though and this certainly was. It rates right up there with the Titanic.
 The assignment for the pic of the day was to take a picture of my favorite thing(s).

You guessed it all along! My German Shepherd Millie and my hubby. Millie  hates to get her pic taken so AJ is having to hold her in a bear hug. She should be getting use to it. I take a pic of her every day since I got my Canon Rebel.

In His love and grace.

A Full Day!

Well, the day started out wonderfully with my favorite breakfast, Trader Joe's Low Fat French Toast sweetened with Agave for 5 points. I also had my usual egg whites for snack, 1 point. Lunch was boring so I did not bother to take a pic. It was a peanut butter on 2 pieces of  double fiber wheat bread for 5 points with natural apple sauce and Almond chocolate milk.

For date night, AJ and I ate at Maggiano's Italian Restaurant and I had 23 of my flex points and it was worth every one of them. I carbed it up because AJ and I are running in the morning. Any excuse to eat chocolate cake, right?

Finally, the day I have dreaded, self portrait day for the Feb picture challenge. I hope everyone has a great weekend! In His Love and Grace

My New Love

Good day mates! Let me introduce you to my new love. Almond Breeze unsweetened chocolate almond milk. It is wonderful, I add a tsp or two of Truvia or Splenda and you can't tell the difference between this and regular chocolate milk. WW points 1 for 8 ounces.

Breakfast was greek yogurt with 1TBS of flax and blackberries for 3 WW points,

For my 10am snack I had 3 egg whites for 1 WW point.

Lunch was a turkey sammy with 1TBS mayo, mustard and romain for 5 points. The greanbeans were free with a 0 point value. Dinner was wonderful! 4 ounces of whole wheat pasta, shrimp, 1 ounce of parmesan cheese for only 9 points. I have plenty left over for a Fiber One Brownie and almond milk.

Finally, here is the pic of the day assignment. "Front Door"
AJ and I ran two miles today so I am going to soak in the tub. In His love and Grace.

Diet Breaker

I told AJ that I don't think I could eat one more piece of meat. I have been on the Atkins diet for about one month and have lost 8lbs. The weight loss has stopped and I am tired of being limited to meat and certain vegetables. So tonight I had a chocolate craving and found this in the cabinet. It was soooo good! I actually got a little light headed. So tomorrow I am starting back on weight watchers. I have been terrible; I have stopped exercising this week and blah, blah, blah.

On a more positive noncomplaining note here is the picture of the day. I was suppose to photograph the s u n but due to the fact there was not any today I photographed my s o n.

This is my son's senior picture. He is so handsome! All grown up and married now. Time goes by so fast. I will end my post with a great goodwill find. My starbucks travel mug! Yeah! I only paid one buck. My girlfiriends will be so envious when the see this. Normally, they cost near 20 bucks Starbucks. In His peace and grace! Have a wonderful evening.

Girls of the OC

The day started off with a OC schools nurses meeting. They are sooooo funny and great to be around. The meeting didn't last too long and before I knew it the day had ended and it was time to have some fun.

Next stop was at Goodwill. Barbara found this nice antique vanity with mirror for only twenty five dollars. As you can tell the Goodwill employee was trying to tell us how to fit it in the trunk. Needless to say it did not work.

Then, we went to this great Mexican place in town. I forgot to mention, I bought a wonderful Starbucks travel mug at the Goodwill for a buck!

And here is my Photo of the day, "Buttons" taken with my new Canon Rebel! This is a Valentine Card I  had made last year and thought is was perfect for today's challenge.

Lazy Day

I had the day off because it was a teacher workday and it was FABULOUS! I spent the day in my craftroom working on AJ's Valentines gift. It has to do with a deck of cards.

In fact, that is what I was doing for my daily photo a day (see number 5 above), working in my craft room. I spent the entire day painting and getting messy. It was heaven.

I also did some work in my art journal. This book is themed, "Praise and Worship." The song I picked today is " Worthy is the Lamb" one of my favorites by Hillsong. Here it is, I still have to work on the lettering.

My prayer time is when I walk my German Shepherd. Usually a song will be my prayer and this was todays.

AJ had a surprise today. Mike Wade! He is a professional MMA fighter and like a son to us. He stayed the evening and taught AJ's MMA class. 
Well, that's it for the day! In His Love....amy

February Photo a Day

Starting tomorrow I will be linking up with The February Photo a Day! I am so excited to see what other people photograph.
