that make you smile! My birthday was Monday....just another year older. Nothing exciting. When I got home from work that morning I found this note taped on the front door from the kids. How sweet is that!!! It definately made me feel good!! It's funny how birthdays dont seem as exciting now that I'm getting older. I get more excited about my kids' birthday's than I do my own!
This week has been kind of crazy. It seems like there haven't been enough hours in the day lately. Between work, home, baseball games, etc I am running mad. Plus trying to sneak in 6 or so hours of sleep during the day. That has been the tough part. I'm not used to trying to sleep while the kids are home. But, I figure the summer will go fast enough as it is.....I better not wish it away!
I bought a new cookbook this week. I've been trying to come up with some solution to the "dinner" issues we have around here. Since our schedules are so hectic and the kids have baseball games 3 or 4 times a week, we never have time to actually cook & enjoy a meal. And when we do, there is no time to clean it up!!!!! So, I bought this cookbook that I discovered at Walmart. I've been looking at cookbooks for a while and the main reason I bought this one is because it is for the BUSY MOM!!! I flipped through it in the store & noticed how easy the recipes are. It gives you a list of ingredients, instructions on how to prepare it(which is very little prep time), and it also breaks down the nutrition information. That is great for us since my daughter is diabetic and we have to count carbs and since I'm on Weight Watchers I can calculate the points! It is awesome! I will share recipes with you all when I start using them. I am planning on using the first one tomorrow night!!
Speaking of Weight Watchers..................I weighed in this morning. I'm down 2.1 pounds from last week.........WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That is a total of 8.6 pounds lost in 3 weeks. So my current weight is 165.3 It's almost like a challenge with myself now. I found a few things that work for me and I have been very strict with myself as far as keeping a food journal. I write everything down that I eat. I found that sugar free/fat free jello is zero points. I bought some wierd brand I'd never heard of at Walmart and it was cheap. Like 15 little jello cups for $2.50!! So I stock up. Then today I was in the ice cream section....one of my downfalls......and I found some fudge bars that are zero points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost did cartwheels in the aisle. They are blue bunny brand, so check them out all you fellow weight losers! And they taste good.........no joke! I am anxious to see how much I lose by the middle of August. I will keep you all posted.
Even though the week was crazy it has ended on a nice note. Yesterday I got the house clean, laundry done & made hubby shampoo the living room & hallway carpets. Then my mom surprised me with a chocolate, yes chocolate, birthday cake. Of course chocolate is my favorite so I had to have a piece.........a
small piece............and I savored every bite!!!!!! MMMMMGood! And yes, I blew out all 32 candles with one blow!
