An apple a day

I bought a bag of small apples at the store the other day.  I don't much like apples,  but i want to try to eat one a day, or at least 5 a week. I ate one out of hand the other day, and today I grated one and threw it, a handful of raisins, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in with my oatmeal before i cooked it. I like apples with caramel dip, apples with a slice of cheddar, and I'm looking for other ideas.

I am also trying to get at least 1 citrus serving daily.  I have a bag of clementines which I ADORE. Easy to carry, easy to peel,, easy to section, no seeds. Tasty.  What more could you ask for?

A big part of not spending money is to stay out of stores as much as possible! I HATE shopping, anyway. And always shop with a list and stick to it!

I didn't weigh this morning, but I think yesterday I was 199. I'm not focused on weight loss right now. I really want to get geared up with flylady.net, too. Again, I need to focus.  I'm really distracted with this "should I send my preschooler to Turkey for a month when she's never been apart from me for more than one day?". issue.  My brother thinks I'm nuts to even have to think about it.  I have been advised to not look for the best in someone (my natural inclination) in this situation, but to imagine the worst.  The worst is quite ugly. Sara Edwards says she felt she had "every reason" to believe her husband would return with their son, who has been kept from her for 9 months now, and who has his 3rd birthday this month.
