Actually, now that I went back and sort of "back-logged" my food from yesterday, I wasn't as over as I feared...peanut butter creme pie at bible study sort of blew it, but I did get out for a walk--finally looking like spring up here in Northern WI. I'm hoping to get outside today too!!! Have a super day! :smiley:
