Re-inventing Me!

Well, I know what my workout will be today! Shoveling! We got 5 inches of fluffy white stuff last night! I’m SO done with snow this year…but, at least it will help burn calories. And, don’t tell anybody in my house….but it IS pretty outside. LOL

Last night was a party at our friends house. It was our annual Good Friday Peeps Roast. Years ago, when Easter fell later in the year, it was a quite a warm evening out. A few of us got together for dinner and had a bonfire outdoors. The kids wanted to roast marshmallows, but, alas, there were none to be found. But, we had Peeps in our Easter stash. So that’s what we roasted and they were delicious. (Can’t stand the buggers “raw” though.) So, it came to be an annual tradition among our 3 families. Over the years the party size has grown to include other friends and we rotate homes. Last night it was snowing, so it was indoors. The kids (all teens now!) roasted their Peeps in the fireplace. With my busy day yesterday, I didn’t plan ahead for something to eat at the party and arrived there to find only cheese pizza and salad available that was even close to plan. And still, I ate too much of the greasy stuff and my tummy was upset all night. YUCK! So, today, I relish my oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast followed by foods on my plan all day. It’s amazing how once your system gets used to healthy food, going off can wreak havoc. I mean my stomach is still roiling and bubbling this morning.

Today I have to frost the Easter Basket cake for tomorrow’s party. I’m not looking forward to that. I’ve done enough of these and know that if I keep a glass of water and a wet cloth at my side, I’m not as tempted to taste the frosting. I’ll be glad when Easter has passed. Tomorrow we have a family Easter Breakfast with hubby’s family and then an Easter dinner at our house with my family. Sigh….Monday can’t come too soon.
