Our night to be bad

Mexican food night was wonderful. We went to Ninfa's, and I had the Las Verdes pork enchiladas. I was definitely being bad. We went to the Spoons frozen yogurt place afterwards for a light dessert. For those of you who aren't familiar with Spoons, you grab a cup, fill it with frozen yogurt and toppings, and then have it weighed. You pay by the ounce. With lots of nonfat flavors to choose from, it's a healthier option than ice cream (if you do it right). I got just a little bit, and topped it with lots of strawberries and blackberries. I think I actually had more berries than yogurt.

Now it's Friday, and time to get back on track. Tonight's dinner was the spinach mix salad with walnuts, apples (yes, I remembered them this time), bleu cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette. It was pretty good. Later this evening, I was still hungry. I have to confess that I had some chips and salsa. However, I did limit it to just one small handful of chips. No yogurt for dessert. Hubby made some popcorn, but I didn't indulge in it. I think the slightly burnt smell eminating from the microwave helped me to resist.

Tonight, we had just a short walk after taking our critters to the dog park. There's actually a small pond in the park! Our Big Bear and Goofy Girl had a great time. We almost ended up with an extra dog. As we were getting in our car to leave, a beautiful Weimeriner with a wildly wagging, stubby tail, almost followed Hubby into the car. His owner grabbed him by the collar just as the pup was preparing to leap into the passenger seat. Dogs: you gotta love 'em.

I'm going to try to talk Hubby into going to a park with a decent hiking trail this weekend. The weather's supposed to be in the mid-70s and clear. We've still got lots of house work to do, but I think we need to do something fun (and active) this weekend. What else is a weekend for?

Tomorrow's lunch: chicken tortilla soup. Then I've got to plan out a menu for the next week and make my grocery trip. I've found that having a menu written on a little chalkboard that we have in the kitchen really helps keep on track. We haven't made any fast food runs this week, which is progress. It may not seem like much, but it adds up.

Have a great weekend!
