So I went to Walmart yesterday

Too hot to walk outside yesterday, so I did my charcoal thing at walmart. They have this special deal going on right now, two 13.5 lb bags are shrink wrapped together, 27 lbs for each bundle, I put in 3 bundles in my cart and off I went. I speed pushed the outside aisle around the store 3x's in 13 min, which considering the traffic, wasn't too bad, lol.
I then went shopping, with my cart of charcoal, looking first for jicama, which they don't have, then just browsing. They have these really cool summer melamine (plastic) plates that are a bit smaller than dinner plates for 1.96 per plate. They are 'sectioned" plates and when I saw them I realized that they are the perfect sized sections for actual single portion sizes. I think I'll pick some up this weekend because my bf keeps finding the weight that I'm losing, lol. So I'm going to start using these to pack his lunches on so he can see what actual portion sizes are REALLY supposed to be.

Love your creative workout. This is how we make our healthy lifestyle work.

About the portion control......this is one that I will always need to be reminded of. So easy with all the super-sized meals. Jay Leno is one to keep reminding us of all the super-sized foods and why our kids are getting less exercise and our butts keep getting bigger and bigger. Well, we on "the team" are not going to ignore the marketing influences to get us to over eat and stay sedentary.
