Yesterday, I was running about and didn't plan for lunch. I was starving and needed to grab something. I asked my son to order souvlaki (Greek meat skewers) to get protein (i was driving). He ordered the souvlaki pita instead.

I ate the meat, tomatoes and onions out of the pita and ripped off less than 1/4 of the pita to watch my carbs. Pretty proud that I didn't succumb to eating the whole pita! My son ate the 2 fries that were inside?

It’s freezing here in Wisconsin but i actually love taking winter walks because no one is around and it’s so peaceful. Gotta get my steps in.

I started this bet knowing it's not only holiday season, but also my birthday month. A few years ago, one of my kids told me I was "extra" while redeeming a few free birthday treats. I took that as a challenge and signed up for everything I could. We try to outdo the year before (last year I collected 110 freebies! )

Yesterday, my boy and I started collecting. I had some vanilla ice coffee (Cinnabon) while the boy enjoyed a single scoop of Ben & Jerry's. I ate garlic shrimp w steamed broccoli (red lobster) and brought the free dessert home to my girl. We walked the mall and I did 8k in steps, which is huge given my lack of movement due to arthritis in my knee.

My plan is to gift away other sweet freebies and use the process of obtaining them, motivation to move more.
