Well DD’s still sick… I’m sure most of you out there know what that does to your day: not much accomplished. She follows me around and whines till I pick her up. Even when I get her to go off and play it doesn’t last more than 2 minutes! She has napped quite a bit today so that’s good… and she is soo snuggly! And for me that part is fun… because she’s not a cuddler at all… I do love that part of sickness… what a little lover. But I’m so glad that she’s down for the night! As for my eating.. it’s slowly adjusting. I haven’t quite cut out all the sweets (as you can see from yesterday and today…) but I’m working on it… and I’m working more fruits & veggies and water into each day!

..

Today is day one of Allison and my bet. It’s going to take an adjustment to my eating habits that I have allowed to slip.. but it’s a much needed adjustment! I knew I’d prob weigh in high today, and I’m simply excited to see that number start dropping again. This morning the scale read 153.2 - about 4 lbs up from my lowest weight thus far, and about 1 up from last week.

..

FIRST OF ALL… If you didnt’ see my scrapbook pages below (3 posts down) then please take a glance (: I am so proud of them and I hate posting new posts that push that post further down the page.

Sunday update… ate w/ in my calories, almost no fruits or veggies. ): got all my water in, skipped the gym.

Today is just bad all around. If I stop eating now, I might come out ok. ): I just chose to eat a sausage mc muffin at McD’s where my parents met me for breakfast… BAD CHOICE. I don’t know the points value and I don’t want to know.  Tomorrow Allison and I weigh in and our “bet” begins… so this was my last day that I can eat bad. NO MORE!

ok. movin’ on… (:

Thank God for a bit of sunshine!

I’m really proud of myself today. I got back on track of writing down everythign and i even spent part of my day hungry, because i knew I had quite  a few points coming at dinner w/ my BIL and SIL.  Strawberry Shortcake was strawberries sweetened w/ splenda and ff cool whip, and angel food cake. Not too bad in the calorie dept. and I ate a TON of strawberries.  The bbq chicken was super low too. The mashed pot. killed me. They’re my favorite! 

Anyway, Overall I had a great day and I’m ready to start again tomorrow!

 Well I said I would share… I’m so proud of some of these pages… I adore them! I really adore the pictures of Natalee on the “You’re such a little HAM” page.. they just made the page

Me & Natalee (1st birthday)

Natalee & Daddy (on her 1st birthday!)

This page is Natalee, her cousin, and their grandpa at Christmas. & them in the bath as well

Yep. That’s what I thought as I stepped on our new Weight Watchers scale this morning.  138.4! Could it be??? I lost 10 lbs this week! actually 14! Woo hoo!!

ha.

Obviously there’s something wrong w/ our scale.  I called DH. He doesn’t have the receipt or even the box.  I’m wondering if it could be off because we’ve had it in our van and traveling back and forth between our house the the house we’re housesitting at??!?! Maybe there’s a way to reset it?? IDK.  Anyone know??

If not then I’m going to go to Fred Myers and just see what they can do.  Maybe they would trade it for the same one and I could give them the box.  Of course if it has the same problem then what??? SO DUMB. It is a $32 scale.  I’d expect this on a $15.00 one, and maybe $20…. but not for what we paid. [sigh]

Needless to say… I am back to tracking points and posting them on my blog.  I have been WAY too lax w/ that… and look where it got me (: a 10 lb loss! tee hee!

Haven’t eaten a lot today.  Def. haven’t gone over points… but’s it’s been a bit of a carb overload!

Ultra Healthy Muffin - 4

cookie (kinda defeats the purpose of the above) - 6

tuna sandwich - 4

cereal (no milk) - 2

Scrappin’ today! It’s been fun.  We haven’t got a lot done (my mom and I) because dd got shots yesterday and she is SUPER irritable today.  I finally put her down for the night and I have 4 pages almost done.  I hope I can share them on my blog at some point… just cause they’re so darn cute! 

Eating today was good.  I had self control and ate well… lean pork tacos YUM! lots of fruit and lots of water!…  with a little cup of icecream to end the night… my only major indulgence… (: 

Tomorrow I hope to do Turbo Jam… (cross my fingers!)

Good night!

Well I started the day right… hoping to have a Turbo Jam session… and just eat well.

 I did…. ok.  Turbo Jam didn’t happen because DD was underfeet and wouldn’t let me.  I wanted to get it in during her 1st nap but she woke up early (figures!).  We’re housesitting for a friend and I was pumped when I saw she had Turbo Jam… hoping I could give it a test run…. I think I did 3 minutes.  I will try again tomorrow.  Or maybe late tonight.

On the eating front… well I bought good groceries… I just have eaten more than I normally would.  I will work on portion control.  It’s been weird because I really don’t have anything to do here.  No chores to catch up on… not much cooking to do because DH is gone a bunch this week.  I’m struggling w/ boredom a bit… and I don’t need to eat!!  Tomorrow my mom is coming to scrapbook so that will be fun! and hopefully keep me busy!
