Monday and Tuesday

Another whirlwind week ahead people! Monday I walked around the neighborhood for about 45 minutes for about 5869 steps. Then I decided after lunch (meatloaf, baked potato and Brussels Sprouts) that I needed to go look for tea cups for the Amazing Love Dinner this Friday. NOT an easy task! I checked the following places: Garden Ridge, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Michael's (I had to get other things there anyways), Marshall's, then FINALLY The Am Vets Thrift store...which is where I found some decent ones at 30 cents each! YAY! The Amazing Love Dinner is a dinner at church where ladies will sign up to host a table and then decorate that table. You also get people to sign up for the dinner to eat at your table. I had to provide the place settings, tablecloth (which I need yet) favors, and centerpiece. This is the first I have even been to the dinner, let alone be hostess. Anyways--tickets were $8 and the guys act as servers and the meal is catered. Then tomorrow (Weds) it is our class' turn to provide desserts and to serve the Weds night dinner at church. So today I have been baking cookies to take for that. But back to Monday: my total steps for the day was 9559 which is 4.8 miles according to my pedometer. Dr. Oz recommends 10,000 a day! WHEW! I know on Friday it said I had 12245 or 5.6 miles! I have blisters on my feet LOL! But this is something I need to keep up DAILY!
So today I have scheduled strength training and walking. It is to get up to around 58 degrees today and sunny! I am thinking after lunch today is when I will go.
I seen a recipe on Betty Crocker website 9I get a newsletter from them) that I am trying tonight for Beef, Veggie and Brown Rice Skillet Dinner. Here is the link:

A little higher on the carbs but will probably cut back on the brown rice and up the veggies. Still, not a bad choice!
I still do not have my beginning of March pic yet. I will work on that later when David gets home. For now--I need to be Domestic Diva! LOL!
HUGS! More to come!
