Dinners have to be pretty quick and easy. I don't get home until 6:30. That means DH is doing most of the dinner cooking. It's not that he can't handle intricate recipes. It's just that he works nights, wakes up at 5:00, and picks up Tatum from school. When they get home, there's homework and other normal daily stuff. So I don't want him to have to waste that time cooking. Tatum can take a long time on her homework... even on a good day. So she needs his attention to keep her focused. That and the budget... well, that's why you'll see hamburger helper a lot on our menu. I think the thing is, if I'm going to eat it, I just need to watch portion. So yeah, I know we aren't eating the healthiest right now. I also know this will change. And I think it's still possible to lose weight.
OH! Do y'all remember I had high cholesterol a few years ago? Like right when I had my gallbladder removed? It was 234. Well, over the summer, I had some blood work done and it's 154. Alrighty then! Doing something right!!!!
