In-Laws on Thursday, our house on Saturday. I spent Monday Evening ironing the monstrosity of a Tablecloth.......and every cloth napkin I own. I got out all the chargers and napkin rings and wine glasses. None of it matches, and I think maybe thats my favorite part of the way the table looks! The table is set and ready for family and food!
Tuesdays schedule included breakfast with mom, a massage to follow, a little work in the afternoon, and dinner out with two of my favorite people! My husband and kid.
J. Alexander's is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. I always order the grilled salmon and smashed potatoes, and most likely, a nice glass of cab to go with it. So, needless to say, I knew I would need to choose my breakfast, snack and lunch options very wisely!
I started my early morning off with coffee and a banana.
Breakfast with Mom..... A fave for sure.....
First Watch!
Healthy Turkey Omelet
7 PPV
Then........I was literally all over town, and so busy, I never felt hungry. While at Trader Joe's, I sampled one bite of Sweet Potato Casserole, one bite of Pumpkin Pie and one bite of Cranberry Chèvre Goat Cheese! I bought the Goat Cheese for an Appetizer on Thanksgiving Day! Delish!
I'll call my sample bites 3 PPV.
Later, after running all over, I took a 30 minute break on the deck and enjoyed my first ever Pumpkin Beer. I even kinda liked it! I really can not get over this weather! While on the deck, Tess arrived from college! Yay!
5 PPV
Dinner was as awesome as anticipated. I love this restaurant. For me, it's just one of those special occasion places. It's dark....it's cozy......it's always perfect!
I ordered the salmon with smashed potatoes and a Cabernet Sauvignon, just as predicted.

After dinner, Tess and I decided an "After Dinner Drink" would be a perfect way to end the night.......so we had Chocolate Martini's!

I did get the dogs to take a short walk with me, and I was up and down the stairs a gazillions times, and every stop I made, I parked far away......so I was very active today, without ever really exercising. I had to earn at least One Activity Point, but I won't count it. Feels like cheating.......
Refresh...I can eat 26 points a day.
I can earn Activity Points by doing exercise.
I have an allowance of 49 points that I can dip into if I chose.
I should drink a minimum of 6 (8 oz) glasses of water each day.
