So here it is Thursday already and I am so behind. I just can't get my butt in gear. I did well on my diet yesterday. I am proud of that. Now if only I could get my housework done. I swear I would give a lot of money just to have someone come in and help me get caught up. I would love someone to come in and even just do my laundry for me at this point. Oh well on to more important things. I have left over 1 point chili left so I am having that for breakfast and lunch today. Then I am having a yummy Chicken noodle casserole for supper! Should be a good day. I am including the recipe for my supper as well as a list of low point snacks for anyone who needs some ideas. Here is my menu for today so far.
