Hello my secret friends!

Ed makes fun of me because I have this whole "secret blogging world." I started tracking unique visits to my blogs and wouldn't you know that 130 people read my blog yesterday!!!?? I was shocked! And that's not page loads, that's individual people! Guess I have a lot of lurkers and not a ton of comment posters. ;) Speak up people!!!

Anyway, I got in a Body Sculpt class this morning after carpool drop off. I thought it would be a "lighter" choice since I've used to mostly cardio classes. Um, once again I was put in my place. ZAPPED my ass! My legs were shaking by the time I left class. I have a feeling I'll be sore tomorrow.

After class I met Ed at our church for the Ash Wednesday service and then headed back to pick the kids up from school. I got a Veg Out Bagel from Einstein Bros. I forgot how much I love that sandwich! It's so good. Hummus, sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion. Just plain ol' good. It was 8 pts and work every pt! I was able to do a quick grocery run to Whole Foods during the hour between Amelia's pick up and Fischer's pick up. I loaded up on some fresh, organic fruits and veggies and some snacks.

I made a delish old fashioned chicken soup this afternoon. I forget how good homemade chicken soup is. I boiled my free-range chicken along with carrots, onions and celery. Once chicken was done I took it out and picked it apart. I took the veggies out and left the stock in the pot. I added new carrots, celery and onions. Then the chicken. ended up adding a little bit of orzo, frozen corn and fresh parsley. Salt and pepper and there you have it! Kids ate every last bit in their bowls. Just a good, rich, but simple flavor.

After dinner we all went on a walk. The kids played at the park and then we came home for bath and bed. Just a good day all in all.

I gave up alcohol and eating past 7pm for Lent. So far, so good! :)
