My husband likes tacos but he doesn't like them as much as I do...I could eat them 3 x a week - I'm lucky to get him to eat them one time a week. I don't add too much to my tacos...tortilla shell, lettuce, tomatoes, ground turkey (now) - seasoned, cheese, taco sauce, and sometimes sour cream (I don't eat sour cream much). My brother in law makes killer tacos...OMG they are so good!

Well...I was in here yesterday and forgot to post how my day went. As we all know it was Valentine's Day. I did a really good job on passing up the candy...I had a small taste of some chocolate b/c my daughter thought that it tasted bad and wanted me to try it to be sure it was okay. I told her "Sam, any type of chocolate is going to taste good to me right now." She just giggled!

I will start off here with how my day went...
Woke up @ 6:30am
Ate Special K cereal for breakfast @ 7:15am
Worked out (Walk & Kick video -30min) @ 8am - 8:35am
Cleaned house @ 9am
Took shower @ 10:30am
Business Meeting @ 11:00am
Ate (left over) spaghetti for lunch @ 12:35pm
I didn't eat a snack b/c my calories were up due to lunch.
Worked out (Power Mile video- 15min) @ 1:15pm
Set out the kids valentine's candy @ 2:30pm
Kids got home from school @ 3:15pm
My dad picked me up so that I could go get my car from the shop @ 3:15pm
Arrived back home @ 4:30pm
Started cooking dinner @ 5:00pm

My cold started getting worse just after dinner - had trouble sleeping.

TODAY: so far
Woke up @ 6:30am

Been on computer filling out my personal journal and creating new food journal.
Checked emails - and including this message into my journal.

I am going to get off now and lay down for a little while...I don't feel good at all.

I hope everyone is doing well. Have a good day!

I love tacos because even though I am utterly hopeless in the kitchen, even I cant mess those up! What taco mix/sauce do you use (if any)? I like Old El Paso. Havent made them in forever cuz I cant eat just one!

I just use any type of Taco Seasoning when I brown the ground beef. Usually I think it is McCormick Taco Seasoning.

I eat Pace Picante Sauce - or the Plain Taco Sauce.

The taco seasoning I use in my meat is whatever is the cheapest.

Well...I posted earlier for part of my day...

I had Special K cereal for lunch today.
I didn't eat any snacks b/c I was wanting to snack on cookies when my kids got home from school...I had a sweet tooth.
For dinner I had chicken breast in romaine lettuce w/tomatoes, pickles, cheese and picante sauce. I was a delicious sandwich but it was very wet. lol

I had 6 chocolate chip cookies...I had trouble stopping but I did when I knew that I needed to. The cookies were the most calories out of the day but I was still under the recommended number of calories for a day.

I did take some of your advice - I rested today. I took a nap today and will be going to bed early. I didn't exercise today b/c I felt bad all day - I don't even regret not exercising today. I needed to rest.

My goals for tomorrow are to exercise, drinks lots of water, eat healthy and try to stay away from sweets. I will be going to weigh myself - I hope to get good results. I will keep you informed.

Thanks for all the "get well's"...Take care!
