I am excited to say that I am down 3.2 pounds from the last time I weighted. So, I lost my grieving pound plus 2.2 more pounds. I attribute it to 2 things. The first is that I walked 3 mornings last week with Jody and Karen. It was good hard exercise and is more exercise than I have done in a long time. The second is that I have been really careful about what I am eating because of Mark's diet limits. I don't want him to feel bad that we are eating yummy stuff that he likes in front of him so I make good choices instead. Put those things together and it equals a good 2 weeks. I love exercise and I love how I feel after exercising. It is good to get out and move my body again. It is also to fun to chat with the ladies. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know everyone better and it is good for my sense of well being to have social time. Thanks ladies!
My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
