I only got 1 mile of walking in yesterday (day 1) BUT I did 5 miles today and 3 on 11/10! And I have officially joined Lorrie's Healthy Holidays Challenge. Phew - I thought 5 miles (all walking) would be a breeze, but keeping up a 4.5MPH pace was exhausting. I was beat by the end, but so very glad I did it.
On the monkey front, and keeping with Jonas' general oddness... You would think a kid that likes melted cheese, and LOVES broccoli (yes, broccoli) would at least eat broccoli casserole that was ALL broccoli and cheese, but NO. He won't even touch it. Apparently he really only wants his broccoli steamed. Or on pizza. But he did eat "brea-fas teetees" (that was what he called the pumpkin pancakes I made last night) for breakfast and dinner today. Well, packed with pumpkin puree from the garden, whole wheat flour and just a touch of sugar, those are pretty good "teetees ("cookie" in Jonas-speak).
And going with the pumpkin I have been wanting cookies like nobody's business for days. Instead of buying cookies or trying to deny my craving only to binge and succumb later, I am making whole wheat pumpkin triple chip cookie bars. It's a new recipe - or at least my take on my mom's famous chocolate chip cookies, and I am hoping for something sweet and chewy enough to satisfy my craving, but dense enough that I don't binge - so 1 cookie and some yogurt will be my snack later.
