My adventures yesterday….. We went to the mall. Myself and 2 of my children had gift cards from Christmas, and with all the sales, decided to go shopping.  We had breakfast and took off to “the Mall”. Not my favorite place. I really dont enjoy shopping.  Before we knew it, it was well past lunch and everyone was ravenous. Here was my challenge- so hungry and mall food to choose from. YIKES! I am proud to say, I ordered a salad at Subway and an ice water. Even the dressing was light ranch. 60 calories for the whole packet, and I only had half. I must say, this was the situation I was fearing, and my determination got me thru. YEAH for me.  We got home, where I snuck in a snack, before heading out to a local basketball game where my daughter was cheerleading. I did allow my son to have a couple of slices of pizza, but I was prepared w/ my previous snack, and would have dinner when I got home. Got home and had ham and a BIG bowl of veggies and beans( legumes). Was full, no need for dessert, and ended the day with 933 calories. Low, but the last few days I was at the higher end of my calorie range, so no worries.  4PM- just got back from an hour long hike in the state forrest( backs up to our house). No flat trails here. And with the snow, it felt like walking in the sand. We estimate approx 2 mph. I’m pooped. I have to consider these type activities when I am averaging 1100 calories a day. Wonder how many I burned?
