Long time, no blog!  I'm back.  I was super busy the past couple of weeks at work.  I am down a total of 5.3 pounds since starting Weight Watchers 6 weeks ago.  I am going to start the Focus T25 program on Monday and am starting another DietBet on Tuesday.  I didn't win the last one I did, but it was very motivating to keep me focused on what I was eating. 

I went with a good friend to Nashville last weekend to visit our friend from college.  We ate at Chuy's for lunch and Buca di Beppo for dinner on Saturday.  I had a chicken taco salad for lunch, which was delicious, but I went WAY overboard with their chips and Creamy Jalapeno sauce.  SO DELICIOUS!  For dinner, the food was served family style, so we split Garlic Cheese bread, an apple/nut salad, and lasagna.  It was delicious as well.  Sunday morning, we went to The Loveless Cafe.  If you ever get a chance to go, it is fabulous!  They have the BEST biscuits I have ever tasted.  They are unlimited and served with homemade preserves (Peach, Strawberry & Blackberry) and honey or sorghum molasses on request.  The menu is what I would define as "down-home country cooking."   Needless to say, when I weighed in again on Monday morning, I was up 1.1 pounds.  I am quite proud to say that I got rid of that 1.1 along with another .3 pounds when I weighed in this morning. 

My mother-in-law is keeping both girls for us on Friday night, so DH and I are going to have a date night.  We are going to dinner and possibly a movie.  It depends on where we decide to go for dinner.  I am going to stay on my points for today and tomorrow, so that way, at dinner, I can have dessert if I want it.  I have a baby shower to go to on Saturday, and I am looking forward to the cake!  That's honestly the best part of showers and weddings these days!  ;)

I'm looking forward to spending some time with my sister and her husband and daughter this weekend while they are in town visiting.  I know Abby is excited to see her aunt.  We also get to see her precious dog as well, which should fuel Abby's "need" for a dog.  I am planning on getting one for her probably for Christmas NEXT year.  We need Audrey to be a little older before we take on the dog training as well. 

I will try to keep this updated more often!

Fabulous Weigh In Today!

Last week, I was pretty bummed with such a small loss on the scale.  Then, Thursday night, I got a stomach bug.  NOT FUN.  I was down almost 4 pounds on Saturday morning when I got up, but since I only ate a very small amount of bland carbs on Friday, I decided to wait until Sunday to get excited about it.  Sunday, I was at almost 3 pounds down.  I logged it on myfitnesspal.com and hoped it would stay the same or be lower today for my Weight Watchers weigh in.  I got on the scale this morning and it said 194.5!!  I am down 2.8 pounds from last week! 

I really struggled with my water this week, so that will be my focus for the next week.  We are having homemade pizza tonight, so I planned my breakfast and lunch accordingly.  We got the pizza dough from Publix.  If you have a Publix in your area, run, don't walk to get some pizza dough.  It is FANTASTIC!!! 

The weather is supposed to be in the upper 60s on Saturday, so I am planning on taking my girls to the park to run around and burn off some energy.  Saturday night, we are supposed to go to a friend's house for dinner.  They usually eat pretty healthy, so I should be good there.  Sunday will be pretty and in the lower 60s, so hopefully we can get outside again.  I'm looking forward to the time change because the days are longer.  I just wish I didn't lose an hour of sleep because of it!  I've also got to get our income taxes done this weekend too. It's going to be a pretty busy weekend, but I'm looking forward to it.
