It is 79 days since I became mindful of everything I consume, and started keeping track of it in my Daily Food Diary.
Yesterday, was not a stellar day for staying on track. We opted for takeout from Taco Time. It is one of the few restaurants here where I do not have to worry about avoiding yeast. That is good, but the sodium served up in their food is through the roof and they do pack in the calories!
I was mindful of the sodium when Dan and I were deciding what to order. We don’t order in or eat out often, so I don’t beat myself up when we do. But, I am still mindful of whatever I order and act accordingly.
Last night, that meant cancelling the Caesar I was planning to indulge in last night. I wanted one, and I certainly deserved one, but no! After I finished doing our taxes (which made me crazy as usual) I filled my water bottle and sat down to enjoy my tacos, burrito, and Mexi Fries – almost guilt free.

I believe it’s a good idea to treat yourself every once in a while. You tracked it all, so you were accountable. Well done, Annemarie!

Thank you, Mags. I am starting lots of flowers this year. I hope they survive and that I can have pots of them around our yard this summer. (Molly has an issue with flower pots! )

I hope all the best for you getting lots of beautiful flowers out and Molly leaving all the pots alone. Chancy liked empty flower pots. He would roll them, grab them and shake them. LOL

Molly drags them off and smashed them. When she was a little puppy she had a collection of small stones outside. (Weird) I gathered the up one day and put them in the bottom of a small pot that I was going to put a plant into. She dumped them out a few times, I put them back. She finally took the pot and smashed it. She’s been on an anti-pot mission ever since. 🤦 I thought she was the only dog obsessed with plant pots. She had a thing for pails too.

That was from a few years ago. All of my grandkids (that I know of) are very talented and creative. They must get it from you. They got my good looks.☺️

Molly didn’t like those stones in a pot I guess. Sounds like she was mad at that pot for holding those stones. Too funny.

Lovely photos and portrait! The sodium is bad for anyone, especially those with chronic BP issues. Well done! Taxes, I wonder what it’s like to file a tax return with Ottawa?

I use Studio Taxes and Netfile. It’s not a big deal – just one I don’t enjoy. For seniors, there are enough tax credits that it is pretty painless financially as well.

Oh, that’s nice that you have tax credits! I have to use a CPA as I don’t know how to do my taxes. Have been for decades…
