Fall is coming and I love food!

Thank you Tropical Storm Hermine for all your rain, but you could have come yesterday when I had to work. Now I know I live in the Midwest but apparently tropical storms that come up through Texas make it to St. Louis.

This week has started to cool off and stay around 70 instead of 90 or 100, which all of us enjoy. Last week I decided to put up my fall decorations which I enjoyed and of course my wonderful hubby put up with, of course. Today after some wonderful green tea, a delicious omelet (made by the best chef) and some baby book reading, I am going to step on my Wii-Fit....yes, I am very scared, but now that I have started to like food again, and real food at that, I would like to try and make healthy choices. For last few months, I have lived on Top Ramen, Mac and Cheese and donuts! Healthy I know, but it sounded good and Anthony was begging me to eat anything. I have had a good couple of days, and hope that, that continues. I have been reading about healthy choices as well as watching my weight so that I don't go crazy and gain twice as much as I need to! While I understand weight gain is important, I also know it is important to maintain a healthy weight too! My doctor would like me to gain right around 25 pounds in total, so far I have not gained any, but now that food is appealing I could reach that 25 pounds at record speed! So here is my plan, lots of fruit, veggies, lean meats and whole wheat! Also a light exercise plan, swimming and walking.

So back to the fact that Fall is coming. This is my favorite time to BAKE, ugh not healthy! I love Sugar cookies, making pumpkin pie and lots of other things. Sugar cookies will be my weakness straight through Christmas! On the garden front things are starting to slow, minus my tomatoes, good god they are like energizer bunnies!! I don't think I am going to plant anything for the fall, I just have so much going on, I know I will regret this in a month or so, but it is a decision I have made. I will still have my herbs and some other small things, but nothing to exciting!

All for now, we are headed out to do some shopping later and to look at some baby stores, so I will know which ones to take my parents to when they come. HEHEHE!!
