We are working on portion control. Ok we are from Texas when they say that everything is bigger in Texas that also means portion sizes. I remember when we first moved here from Texas and we went IHOP we ordered some pancakes and they were so small and thin. In Texas a stack was a stack thick and big and full of calories. So tonight we decided to have Spaghetti and Meatballs which is ok as you use Wheat Pasta and even then you need to be careful and make sure you have your veggies. So we are figuring up how many calories are in the meat balls so I decided how many calories I wanted to eat and how many I can have. It is so much easier to pre plan then to be sorry later. What I am learning that when you fail to plan you just simply fail. The Spaghetti with meat balls per serving has 340 calories. My suggestion is to fill up with vegetables also a trick we learned on Dr. Oz to drink an 8 ounce glass of water before you eat and it will make you feel full and you won’t eat as much.
Yesterday, I talked about walking at Cleveland Park on Sunday what I failed to mention is that it’s a good way for you to have some one on one time with your kids. Yesterday while we were walking and talking my son and I was able to talk and deal with some of his issues that he is going through. I know my kids are getting bigger and every moment I can spend with them is a blessing.
