Another Double Dose of Darci’s Days!!

<p>Do you like all those D’s in my title?!?!? :P</p> <p>Well I had great intentions of blogging Thursday night, but just didn’t happen!! Too much going on in this house and neighborhood!!</p> <p>Well I thought after I posted Wednesday night we were in for the night, but NOPE! I got a text from a friend/neighbor and so I went over and had a few beers and I didn't get home till after 1am...too late for this girl who has to be to work at 8am!! But hey, it was fun and I met some new people in the area. We were talking about having a block party...I think it would be so fun...hire a band, block off the street, good food, drinks, fun....doesn't that sound like fun?!?!? Hopefully we can pull it off this summer!! </p> <p>I was about 5 minutes late to work 'cause I didn't roll outta bed until 7:30am!! Yikes!! Once getting to my office and settled in I ate the last of that wonderful <strong>watermelon</strong> (<strong>1 point</strong>)you've been seeing all week. To be honest, I'm so sad that it's gone. Hopefully the next one will be equally as delicious!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5yTw8c_noCKx1rGJ7ShA89_kQltvuI_BT2DImecwTwsA2_YqvMJGPROc0AbRuiP8oa-c86JeVDRSy1KazrL3NFGVzpqzYD6d6BJB40SDBTlxcrG4lseRRV5-kPlqsbNnIVy7LD5rOC9Be/s1600-h/DSC02826%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02826" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIsX0kNLB-uKQrYW3aqGHRXqqzRfkHdvFI_AYWCn3qT8FL4dXZLia-yT8mZe04JvE8FAN82A1SGVEz_26u7E3TzZ5N1ULyM5dawR_Y01BnuZUF7LhuMW3owokMDxx_zkIOq8Bk-oaRbFz2/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02826" width="504" /></a></p> <p>Oh but I did make time before I flew out of the house to hop on the scale and snap a picture...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUbQVS183ltdQtV4ODJNbdEZu21gPhxUkgaqbj4MK5aXXc5198_6FYlWcYpncPs_-xgpFiGH0Dfa40AqVZUE8Yst6-w36_A-fRKMC3lZcs97-NKTqM9SKw3UHPNvsFfabJ0PY0-vBxsNFe/s1600-h/DSC02825%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02825" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfo9mbD3qhngUOEBqa__rc7f6jxcnayl9TVp4DzGGlwWmUlbwAZvQLkAWmqWI7puDOCACahg3ogw7C37CERTTX-oBopMVunXgPq3EaCQpt2g9kHVToxXNBjsBogaL1F84NXDuouRcDZg4/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02825" width="504" /></a>That's right my friends, down another 1lb!! I was so HAPPY to see that!! That means only 2.5 more pounds until I am where I "think" I want to be!! </p> <p>What I am concerned about though is my goal for WW is much higher...161, what are they going to say to me when I keep losing and I'm not maintaining. Maybe I should just suck it up and pay longer to have my goal where I "truly" want to be...idk. Any thoughts and/or experience on this would be great!! It was just really be nice to not have to pay that $40/month. Heck that could go towards new clothes because as of late some of my things are looking a little ridiculous...aka belt tightened so much on my capris/pants that they are all gathered at the top, but I guess it works! </p> <p>Ok back to my eats for the day! Later on in the morning I had the 2nd 1/3 of my breakfast, a <strong>Dole fruit gel cup</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>.

I know a few of you have asked how I have made my chicken salad so here it goes! Keep in mind I'm a pretty simple eater, don't really like some of those crunchy things people tend to add to chicken or tuna salad sandwiches! (aka celery or onions) I just used the canned chicken from my local grocery store and added 4 Tbsp fo Miracle Whip Free. </p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="800" border="0"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="400"><img alt="DSC02830" border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7DU-Qinaa6X5UYaOOAN0EJnDRWOcMdBZUqkzu2vOvZGCFpwZ58NeWm5nGDNEcck8YVtbKFxXUwNMb6GHmXFmCdd19U_4cFLzB4ymgzMUCNhTROb6RJICEj3G2fOplH3SZk5kU1rTV7gB/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px;

There were only 3 of the 6 of us in the office so we were QUITE busy!! I didn’t eat my morning snack until after 12!! I can’t believe I was ok until then on only watermelon!! I had <strong>key lime pie yogurt</strong> with <strong>grape nuts</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKfdnOeIWl__vVQbWKeq8OowSRB4KU-wi3NnA24cZxT9FzsvziuixoqYwtyN4KBuGUGrTSxvul5BxNiaPDchviHtsHtq4woZVaW7srF-QhgTxq5qFtx4C-JmrswfqXi2Tnq86Pw6esTuf/s1600-h/DSC02849%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02849" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyPtP0R2o3aDeUPSPzOteBDd-FxioWFwUssOg9bxEI7r2sMOdHqPa-A0vPeGXOX0OTV9p7Wwv8cwZsGiVJBfBcv4TQ2HJkltugHKidnGLFzTVE5-hS-2DEnvvBYnsNqOx3jTwrceD8ktlN/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02849" width="504" /></a> </p> <p>I ended up working right through lunch and before I knew it, it was already 2:30 so I decided just to work 1 more hour and sneak out early since I didn’t take a lunch break! On the way home I had some much needed fuel of <strong>grapes</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. They were perfectly crisp and delicious!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf9hg_thGhvLbPuHf1dq0HNGZ1l82mIIPyq1Xpg3tNeVfFMDzH3lOktAmLSzRG4G5ciQUyoUUUqkrOEU6lh3qEJnOtC87g5gRAxG1tslePuQDdlXRkwCiknWPcsK4HY7FMholFiDjIOgGZ/s1600-h/DSC02850%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02850" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIUWP19mj_mzXTmVVKdqcBfIqQKTbsUQnPK37Mxmj5MYSOXHTqu2juHPz4lf7bDHSK37qBbdPU-D5UUFYz8IPG2mput8EK-WUDhWD8-l0QnmG4Ng2MeZEqMnqBoUizdIi43mXintMy8Z0/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02850" width="504" /></a> </p> <p>Kyle was, once again, ready to go for a run when I got home. And I really thought I was too! But man was it hard! We went 4 miles and those grapes were bothering me the whole time…I really thought they were going to come back up…luckily they didn’t! And we finished our run in under 40 minutes…even though it was really hard and I wanted to quit most of the time. I’m so glad for Kyle, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have made it for sure!</p> <p>And now this is where it all goes down hill! We got back from our run and everyone was at the neighbor’s house and so of course I had to have a <strong>few beers</strong> with everyone…which turned into quite a few beers and a <strong>Wendys 5 piece chicken nugget with BBQ</strong> and didn’t end up getting home till after 2am!! It was a fun  night though!! Hey you gotta have fun sometimes right…?!!?! Point wise…not even sure!</p> <p>But I did see this on the scale this morning and about passed out. I thought for sure I would gain after those drinks and eats last night, but nope…went down another 1.5lbs!! Hey, I’ll take it!! :<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibj00KODfPganm9s3KUKnMR0eA729BmSRSRGwhH8ibzVpnDHOFDaVDjLu2DjEN4gJUr71fAV7esXEhNiypcQqBlUAUNp9seBOFh1n1ZDbSR4V4cTrbHLxIvAIwi1NbLJKhd-nsAZ3pDfC3/s1600-h/DSC02851%5B7%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC02851" border="0" height="379" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6YE9Zqq230grGpM97XbpUrAmC295zb3pV8NGxfk5NynPaua5cdOAXdGh6Kq21VfG26VXqXZIeQ4u_UWU9LCZZQrxr4_KjbfKfX0LzG-KbOnhx4BZmTiSvJKw-rnUO76N16nW_MvVD7GAO/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC02851" width="503" /></a></p> <p>Ok this post is WAY too long and it’s already after 2pm and I haven’t done a single thing today…gotta get busy before Kyle gets home from work. We have some fun plans with friends tonight…can’t wait!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!</p>
