I meant to make a remark about this in my earlier post. Has anyone else noticed since they’ve changed what they eat their hair has changed? I swear my hair has gotten much nicer since I’ve started dieting! It’s shinier, bouncier and brighter! I was getting ready this morning and thought, “Man! I’m going on a solid week of good hair days!” Too bad I don’t have anywhere to go show it off! LOL I have not had a recent hair cut, changed my shampoo or anything. I suppose it could be the weather….but, I prefer to think of it as my first NSV resulting from healthier eating habits! So, hairs to NSVs! Hip Hip Hooray!

(PS. Let’s NOT talk about those mysterious facial hairs. Eeeeeeuuuuwwwwww.Where’s my tweezers?) 

It’s Monday. DD is back to school and I can return to my regularly scheduled programming! I am a “list” person. I can barely get through my week without a list! LOL Even then I don’t always do so well. But, I try…..So, on Monday, I make my list! Today, is clean out the fridge, take inventory of it’s contents (leftovers and such), plan my menu and hit the grocery store. I plan my menu by first filling in my weekly calendar with DD events. (I’m so pathetic, I only have WW, exercise and a few school and church related meetings for myself.)

This week is the first of her softball games and the practices switch from immediately after school to a 5 - 7 PM slot, except on game days and those are all from 4 - 7 or 5:30 - 7. Everyday this week except Saturday. Makes dinner kinda complicated. She’ll have to eat when she returns, late! She doesn’t like to eat much of anything before a game. So, anyway…….

I did stay on plan over the weekend. It was pretty easy actually. I seem to have found my groove with food at least. I afraid I cheat and don’t count points. I’ve done WW so many times, I kinda have an instinct as to what I should eat. I do however measure portions. I know that when I get in to trouble with my weight loss, it is usually because of portions. But, I have found, that sometimes I feel full before I’ve even finished my allowed portion.

I had a pleasurable Sunday making a big pot of tomatoe sauce for dinner and the freezer. I also made fresh whole wheat bread for the family and a yummy green salad. I love to spend Sunday afternoon slicing, dicing and cooking in the kitchen. Sunday is usually the only day I have uninterrupted by carpools and everybody is home for dinner that day. Except the DD away at college. I put on some tunes and dance like a crazy woman. (At least until somebody comes in the kitchen and then I compose myself.)

I did snitch a few pieces of the chocolate bunny my hubby so kindly busted up and so generously left in a dish in the middle of the kitchen island. But, honestly, my stomach revolted as the chocolate hit the bottom. Ugh! It didn’t even taste as good as I expected. So, that was enough of that.

Our grocery had the best tasting red grapes I’ve had all winter. And, they were on sale for .99 a pound. They were so sweet they had to be bad for you! They were like candy to me. I hope they’re on sale again this week. Guess I’ll see when I get there. Our local store’s ads don’t come until late this afternoon with our mail. I guess I should change my shopping days to Tuesday due to that. Because I do try to also utilize what’s on sale when I plan my menu.

So, that’s my weekend and my Monday plans….some of them…..I’ll be off to workout now! Happy day to ya!
