Se[t 16, 2014

It's Friday, I'm into my second week now.  Chatted with RD Diane Wednesday, she encouraged me to keep things going, walk more and maybe add in some strength exercise.  I'm going to try, but living with my mom makes it hard.  Our house should be done in about two weeks!  Then, finalizing the new mortgage, getting appliances bought and moved, utilities hooked back up.  I'm really hoping we can be in by mid October, tho I'm sure not all boxes will be open by then.

Today, ran errands with mom.  Breakfast at home:

Usual...Steel cut oatmeal, packet sugar, tb peanut butter, milk.

Snack - we left fairly early for errands, but I did eat a piece of Brownie Brittle.  (this is a store bought, low calorie item.)

Lunch - I needed to run to the town where my church is, so mom and I stopped at a little local cafe that is there.  The Wolcott Cafe, located in what was once an old movie theater.  I so much prefer local cafes and restaurants.  The food is closer to homemade then places like Chili's or Olive Garden.  




 I had:

Hamburger with the bun.  Small dish of cole slaw.  

Snack - Chobanni yogurt.

Dinner - Not really sure if dinner was a wise choice, but I know it wasn't processed.  There are about 4 casseroles in the freezer here at my moms leftover from when she was down from her accident.  They were purchased from the Homestead for easy meals.  If anyone is reading this and is curious about the Homestead, here is some info.:

Homestead

The ladies at the Homestead bake all their own bread and bakery products even down to grinding the wheat.  All their frozen casseroles are made from scratch.  Everything there is sold in bulk.  It's a wonderful store.

So, anyway...we heated up a Poppysead Chicken Casserole.  
I also warmed up a steamer bag of broccoli.

On to tomorrow...another busy day.

  1. Little locals are the best. Of course, we grew up with the Country Kitchen, the drive in and Dantes...anything else? And the Country Kitchen lives on...

    1. The Colonial Inn next to the high school. I'm not sure when it closed, but that was the place my parents went to most. My brother worked there, my mom worked there and I washed dishes there when the Greek Family owned it. Prior to them, John Urbases family owned it and they lived downstairs. That was probably the drive in you mentioned, tho not sure when it stopped being a drive in and was just a regular restaurant.
