Yesterday was our day to go to the temple. It was great to be back doing our duties in the baptistry. We hadn't been there since before Christmas because of family being around and the fact that the temple was closed for a while. But it makes a very busy day for Dad and I. I take Dad to work on temple day so as soon as I am done with work I go straight to his office to pick him up. We get to the temple at about 5:45. We hurry and change and make ready for the youth group that is coming. They usually arrive between 5:15 and 5:30. Then we are busy until they are done at about 7:00 or 7:15. By the time we leave the temple is well past 7:30 at night. We haven't had any dinner yet so Dad and I are pretty hungry. So last night we headed to Wendy's. But this is what is good about that place. You can substitute good stuff in your meal instead of fries and bad stuff. I did have a fish sandwich (which is fried) but I had chili instead of the fries and milk instead of soda. The chili was so yummy especially because it was snowing. When we were done Dad looked at me and asked if I wanted to share a Frosty with him. But here is the great part. I said No. So neither one of us had one and we headed on our way home.
It has been great to read about each one of you and the things that you are planning to do to be more healthy. I am proud of you all. But I do have a question: You know those little pudding cups - the chocolate ones or the tapioca ones? Are they okay to have for a treat if you only have one?
Charlie - this post from youtube is for you and me.

Jello pudding cups are ok. You do have to look at the nutrition label because some flavors are better than others. It is good portion control because of the cup.
I do like the sugar free jello cups.
Both Dan and I believe in the whole concept of calories in-calories out, but also making sure they are "worthy" calories to be taken in in the first place.
Keep up the good work mom!
Readheads Rule! That was too funny. It was nice to see our fellow redheaded standing up for our special feature. We are truly oppressed.
By the way, good job on the self-control and resisting the Frosty.
Ditto what Em said! I used to love the cream pie ones & would use those as a dessert every once in a while (because although they weren't sugar-free, they were portioned out & it was a healthier choice than ice cream) when I was on WW.
I was thinking about your blood pressure. It's probably hard to want to exercise when you are so tired, but if you exercise regularly & even push yourself a little getting your heart rate up, that might help with your energy. Are you doing any weight-bearing exercises or stretching?
Wendy's Nutrition Facts:
Fish Sandwich + Small Chili + 2% Milk = 780 calories, 33 grams fat, 82 carbs., 1920 mg sodium.
Sorry I posted that before I finished...I was surprised that your meal wasn't really all that bad. And also come to find out that a medium frosty has 430 calories and 11 grams of fat (less than a Snickers bar...I know because I just ate one the other day...I'm such a sucker for those things when I'm hungry and I'm at the store!). So there you go! Keep up the good work.
