Weigh-In Wednesday

I stayed the same this week! I was actually very happy with that, I had a feeling I was giong to gain. It's been a rough week, diet wise, because I've been sick. So of course, diets just kind of go out the windown when your sick, and I had a lot of chicken noodle soups, saltine crackers and sprite. So I'm fine with staying the same.

Isaiah has a parents as teachers appt this morning, here in just a little bit. So can't chat long, just wanted to drop in and say 'hello'! :)

Hope you all are surviving this hump day...... and "national grammar day". Who knew a day like that even existed? Just heard about it on the news this morning.

Weigh-In Wednesday

I'm surprisingly happy to report on this Wonderful Weigh-In Wednesday, that I lost another 3 pounds this week! How I did that.....I have no idea! This felt like not such a good week to me, as far as weight loss goes, but hey, I won't question 3 pounds! I stuck to the program, for the most part this week, with the big exception of Saturday night.

We went to my cousins house with some family and friends for her annual Valentine party dinner and newleywed game (which we lost, horribly, but we won't go there :) ) She is a really good cook, and made us turkey, brisket- I think, and another meat, but I was all about the turkey, and she also made mashed potatoes, some yummy spicy/sweet green bean dish, carrots, salad. But oh......the part that got me......my 2 weaknessess.....her yummy cheesecake and my moms awesome lemon pudding dessert. My mom made her famous pudding dessert, which is my all-time favorite dessert. And Juanita made a yummy chocolate and peanut butter cheesecake. They were both soooooo delicious, and no, I did not get "small, diet serving sizes" of them - lol. Mmmmmm.......so I just knew it when I went to bed that night that I had blown it. I figured I'd do extra work outs this week, to compensate. Then I ended up getting sick and spent Monday and most of Tuesday on the couch. So much for my extra work-outs!

I'm starting to feel more human today- praise the Lord. I actually swept a little upstairs and did a load of laundry. I'm trying to still 'take it easy', but it's so hard for me to just sit still when I'm feeling better, and I haven't done much as it is, the past couple of days. I will lay the kids down this afternoon though, and try to take a nap myself.

Will leave you with this picture. This was taken Saturday night at my cousin Juanita's house. This was after the desserts. We were fat and happy. lol

Weigh-In Wednesday

I lost another 2.5 pounds this week! woo-hoo! I thought I was doing pretty good, then yesterday felt like an off-day, and I just felt like I didn't do very good when I went to bed last night. So I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I looked at the scale. Hey, every pound (or half a pound) counts!!! :)

In other news:

* Lilly is home sick today. She was complaining about a tummy ache last night when our family went to check out some books at the public library. Isaiahs's been sick off-and-on for a while now, so I was waiting for this to happen. This morning, she didn't want any breakfast and was laying around and had a slight fever of 100.5. She's sleeping on the couch now. Speaking of which....I still need to call her school and let them know she won't be there today.....

* I was planning on going to a preschool here in LS today to check out for Isaiah for the fall. Not sure what to do now, as I can't take a sick daughter there with all those kids. I just hope they don't fill up before I can enroll my son! (if that is the one I decide on)

* I have been working on our family cookbook for a while now. My family (me, my sister, my mom and my 2 cousins) have been compiling all our recipes together in a family cookbook that I am putting together. It's really coming together and I think will look great when finished. I will be selling some, so put your order in now if you'd like one! :) It has some great family recipes in it. I wish I had a laptop so I could take my computer down to the couch today, and work on it while I nurse a sick child......

* Jer and I had a fabulous Valentines Day. Here we are at my all-time favorite (italian) resteraunt.

And here we are, our family, opening our Valentines goodies :)

Better go check on Lilly. Have a fabulous day.

Weigh-In Wednesday (on thursday) :)

Yes, I've added something new to my ever-exciting blog. ;)

Weigh-In Wednesdays. I have officially joined my sister and some friends, on our quest to losing weight via a little help with the well-known program, Weight Watchers. I'm so excited....lemme tell you. (insert sarcasm here).

But.......I, like many others (no names added, for my safety- lol), have packed on some pounds over the years. It's so easy to do. I admit it. I love food. I love chocolate. I love sweets. I love eating out. I love........oh, this isn't helping me any.

Suffice it to say. I've got to do something. It's just sickening to look at pictures of me 10, even 5, years ago. ugh.

So, I plan on locating a picture of me, when I was my thinnest, and blowing it up and posting it on the fridge. Jer should appreciate that- lol. ;)

So.......wish me luck, and (hopefully), each Wednesday, I will report back to you on my progress and any new, fun, exciting, delicious recipes I find. I can hardly wait. sigh.

Oh, yea, and did I mention that I get VERY grumpy and cranky when I'm dieting? My lucky lucky family. This should be interesting.
