Missed Opportunities

Well it is almost Thanksgiving and we have not made our weight loss goal. Not even close. We have had too many things go on this year. But we have made an improtant discovery that will definitely help our weight loss. Sorry to tell you this but Fast Food is VERY unhealthy for you. We looked up all the figures and we have sworn it off. A Taco Bell grilled stuffed burrito has 19300 mg of sodium in it!!!!! and almost 700 calories! It is almost as bad at every other restaurant. We have looked up almost every one we can think of. And they are all bad! Wendys potatoe is not that bad, and the simple hard taco is not that bad, but to fill up on those things would require more then one, making them bad for you. We focused more on the sodium then the calories this time. They look worse then the calories do!!! Now that we have the information fast food is just not appealing any more. I can drive by and not get a single craving. It is almost unethical how bad they are for you! It is almost like poisoning! We do like Subway especially their veggie delights, and we will eat only one or two slices of pizza. But no more then that! Each slice of the works has 330 calories and 900 mg of sodium!!!!
But since we have cut out most of fast food we have had a constant slow drop in weight.
Caleb was sooo cute for Halloween!
I hope we can get everything done with the house! We have most of the soffets done on the front of the house, and the porch is cleaned off, and we are just waiting for another warm day to paint the rest of the siding and then the back of the house. Hopefully it will happen soon!

I know! I was appalled when I first found out the calorie content of fast food! It's like drive-thru death.
