Unheard of for March in Iowa! I didn’t even have to put away my sandals, skirts, & shorts from my Florida trip! ;) Lunch today was a broccoli & cheese baked potato for 3 points.

Hey friends! This week is moving right along and I hope you’re having a successful one! I was running behind this morning so I made breakfast at work. It was  the usual combo of PB2, a small sliced banana and oatmeal for 4 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzTq-Gqe4qTKKZl_V1cTlJgU4NdkHAtbseUNo8npNu3mhOeS1sGghj03zYFRUOOZYVh93pi_C_Uk0R8T2CDFDkw5jmZ3d7ICOssQWhGmF1RS42tlk24-lu-YO2yFd_XI2rm9cpNJR9ve6/s1600-h/DSC06784%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06784" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhltaMoBQaq8pwAeSYwUSEDDyW-OAit8q7StyuMfDr0kRLmg4duzSKDGQVB557ZYs0vNJmvvtXgByLGv2eLQNBP_tDoLy9-ZyELPClZO-BTP4cc7YlmODbhNfsPCohNBzln_i019bmF28HZ/?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="DSC06784" width="404" /></a> I feel like I’m still trying to get caught up at work…slowly, but surely I’ll get there! For my morning snack I mixed up these two lil guys, ww strawberry yogurt and 1/2 of a sample box of Total for 2 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTr97uRjgOvqAsYTp8Q_90RY5FXYlHY75y7qyQ6Wc9uu3tDiufiy8E6k1Lx1j-hiCh2OomjIGJXQfNSZoEFuCfiF_M4hqAPC4AJK0HHGxgMULfTq5pRV7akqNb0VG9LZQ-hv7vM00bOWAt/s1600-h/DSC06786%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06786" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qxDHroIwv8DVBaVSTw6LjihOr2suMiHkjdhu0wYp77upkaP82EXRyQ35jp2arv6HpbYoPkx3YGN1WfOa95DpsELB52HTalWc753yfW7d3JfihI9975Y9O50mFmN3QuvxkxAdSELaW1L3/?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="DSC06786" width="404" /></a> Lunch wasn’t coming quick enough so I snacked on these crunchy carrots with ff ranch to get me by and it did just the trick! The amount of ranch I ate was minimal so I’m counting this as a 0 point snack. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6qW0IF8H72jyuO4-HgnK-z2PgLiOEFmWHwEe3eNIjaWznSaftIf1PjkbRqdHEtJG54XwMkDBqteaxtPHCOJ-Dz3maYA4HyU2u-UAR2JdWmWB5eS21z4nJiKbfZIr44I7sAGhKMU2BY9g/s1600-h/DSC06787%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06787" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOIANtXM8sQ-GJcNCRBT7xvbadz4py_Yh4jbnfo3rfQpPPGm3W9c8Q_LgXoMDe4PxpwVz7RFljhoBLnj99kOMCTFL1nmGhtFyW9wtHR8dQA0zBGMaMgaaysq1opC4LTJmVMB7oIFGtD3Jx/?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="DSC06787" width="404" /></a> Over my lunch break I ran to the post office to ship a book I listed on Amazon…yesterday!! I couldn’t believe it sold that quick!! Hooray, it was only collecting dust in my house! ;) I had limited time at home so I had a quick turkey & cheese sandwich for 3 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1ALJOXrfIJ_YWusijvxW17CjutuQhdv9iHfFQRCSlbccwGWFI6fJ1pS1hwHK0Jk1WLg67tjrQtScvVwZHlEV4ND9oOqX38aKEDkZK07ZLzE7riAutTh0RZOkESYfA9BDmQ1cQAOYDD9E/s1600-h/DSC06788%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06788" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Si80JyI_fObFL6h_nuVDJYN4VpXRD1c5R99SADRLlVWkE61W8gFtJWLnDycU5CSqh7CLqvk2sOCjOCzUvbRAEuwPfwafq4gVU2p2aFMzvoucxU7NryYOGDst0INuj9Wun-XYzyR3BDH8/?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="DSC06788" width="404" /></a> I also had 1/2 cottage cheese with 1/2 peaches for 2 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjv-2w6buLOA-aXTYWOIRs-aozMYyRsdL6ItnikNWKpKFVUOKq3ZaauIE8y1vY0nZ6GXmO7qCHCsFVZ3vs4GMHATpVQRO1__-4VIh-QgbToeyYsSLG2rTViynBgTmQiRLIrJ0hTFnOcJ7/s1600-h/DSC06789%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06789" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hInW6bccSjQMULVdhoTK8dDQVSWdcFr3YdmnGNKjX5_IY1qGzEchYJ9bRdzqrJ41Gi0M4PSI7xAiBDfeeIArEO2Pyadc1XC_CvQ5OwKfhlitwpBtzc2EpzTsBsCO2ZTJoJGooxfn1BxZ/?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="DSC06789" width="404" /></a> After my quick lunch I was craving something sweet so I went for a peanut butter fiber one bar for 3 points and it satisfied my sweet craving! I was uber productive at work this afternoon and quitting time rolled around before I knew it. I came home and heated up the last piece of <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/feeling-good.html">pizza casserole</a> for 6 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEv93OABTpIXGwq4g-A9cWSUmfUsjj1h76ZfnjrLtzUzG7YnzfrcYKXWKOizSnhxPecmFUQFHG77a7m7X-e6XKPmrvURi2q1Fr_VAHNqpO8U3zMwkLkWXKox40hXvCpoxOYS8GzsE06E5/s1600-h/DSC06790%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06790" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-66GCS-VA90AVJOlRXh8_lz0m4W20_yxsA3_-7A84oPBLsl3zrw6JcuVwVtB8IFeEYHNhOlF4IscvlwkIp-JcnWMIB0rJ3og55M8fPKM_tim3lECCDGBXFFPiMegqTty3iN9Hdn0zPGM/?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="DSC06790" width="404" /></a> For some reason that didn’t fill me up or I didn’t wait long enough for it to settle. I then proceeded to have a piece of string cheese for 1 point. Then I “thought” I was still hungry and I ate some cereal with Kyle (that’s what he ate for supper :p). I had honey nut cheerios with a small banana for 6 points. At the end of this was more than full! Why does my head do this to me? I would have been fine without that cereal. I can’t dwell on it though. I must learn from it and move forward! That’s the only thing I can do! :D Kyle & I are behind on BL episodes, so we caught up on one over the internet before hitting the pavement for a run. We ran 2 miles in 20 minutes. I think it was tough on me because of everything I ate, my legs are super sore from the <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/ready-for-rockin-week.html">Jillian DVD yesterday</a>, and the 20 mph winds didn’t help either! But I pushed through! One of these days I need to pick  up my mileage…the Dam to Dam 20K is less than 10 weeks away! TUESDAY’S STATS POINTS = 27/23 WATER =   108 oz EXERCISE = 20 min run QUESTIONS ANSWERED I got 2 questions yesterday and wanted to make sure and answer them before I forgot! ;) Thanks for the questions! <ul> <li>Question: what exactly goes in your protein shake? Answer: <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/ready-for-rockin-week.html">Monday</a> I used 1 container of WW strawberry yogurt, 1 1/2 c frozen strawberries, and 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder. I only used 1/2 scoop to keep my points lower, but still get some protein in! I really want to start adding some spinach into my smoothies…but I’m nervous! </li> <li>Question: Does Kyle cook anything for you?       Anaswer: You can more than tell from my blog that I am not a “chef” by any means and I would have to say Kyle is less of a cook than I am! But when it comes to breakfast he is “the man”!!! He is most definitely willing to help, but for the most part I do the majority of the cooking! </li> </ul> I know many bloggers did the “Ask Me Anything” a while back…I never did get on that bandwagon, but I hope you guys know that you are always more than welcome to ask anything at all!! I don’t have any secrets! ;)

Happy Monday!! You know Monday's aren't always the most fun day, but I figure to make the best of it you just have to stay positive!! That was my motto today and it turned out to be a great day! I started out my day with Jillian! Nope...not 30 Day Shred, but this:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieG66Y0GJHrvPosDbaJiTUe99rqSf5LmGhU8_PaFxBlcLHAygzxHEs01nw9muvESplr-gqJU4yqftC7aKnJBTjeOLvf0BnZLu1wBZPsmV9-UIqnqLjsP-4gOJZsPOLRFPqU0PmDuYF1IdG/s1600-h/DSC06778%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06778" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsyZrrR7gHlU63vvugTjQT_tkQtLbaaPvAolc4axqAg3lNqo8hkS21kRuEsNYE1hdKXnZ_g4QeOKjFMTdR0NElFnX45c75iTr8aiXW1PE1-QdUOoBFxkJ6imy_SHvToyBHAM2KKdx3SrYv/?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="DSC06778" width="304" /></a> It was a great workout, similar to the 30 Day Shred, but just some different moves. I picked up this DVD at Ross while we were in Florida for just $3.99! I'm sure it's cause it was from 2005!!! But it got my heart rate up and all sweaty so who cares what year it’s from right?!?! ;)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioUqLNJtRrpcTfJhpExLH5tD4e1PGboMxRe8zoShys0mpSnYhgcAJ_sjYD8z7GMawVB83lFpKusNw8EQCfv2c4YvYdfi8huSGczS2gQtFFG7ckXfOKrvKH8x-KZUC9QoQf3HhyLtocqqiN/s1600-h/DSC06779%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06779" border="0" height="471" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijpUoj2hg2eolkWw-rw1L3CU8tFYPtMm_9QpsJuHP1SP0K9nbl9-_XUAElUHxjBZF8ZN8cpEN236zR4-l9JP_M8ZGgeojoxnu5HoUPf_JTJGs5ZUpQyxABHTBP9RjfdZMZTCjE8TARJXH/?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="DSC06779" width="354" /></a> I had an egg white & cheese sandwich for breakfast. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiACOU7ly6NOyZlHsI8zsTqIkAVLxwsGZSplDJU-UGxylmm2B8D4zPl-qdmADrk4edy9rBvNExVk8qPjLgNS82Qt43GT4d6o63PiAV9FBFYdPGdbhVMglsW74JUfn2_lPBCzAf9EdfCBDjJ/s1600-h/DSC06781%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06781" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHNSmlErfbzhZ4nuJnh_jm5jie9DJNPPpWr4IiYrxb6Fa3MRUpWLYjix3SHo38kTdoWKX9hyphenhyphenFeQRSoHhVunlQgc6G9uY0SibvTEx8VbCpIZ2h1JGVLcpio1NuP4Xj0vk1Seb-xewrIAHx7/?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="DSC06781" width="404" /></a> Along with a strawberry protein smoothie.

I'm kicking myself. I took my camera out of my purse in my office and forgot to put it back in so no lunch pictures today, but it was leftovers, so you aren't missing much! I had 1 slice of <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/feeling-good.html">leftover pizza casserole</a> and a serving of cottage cheese for 8 points. I could hardly wait for 5pm to come, it was a such a beautiful day outside! I came home and tackled our to-do list we thought up on the plane ride  home from Florida! Still have a few things to do, but I’ve got a good start on it now! <ul> <li>Subscribe to Runner’s World – done</li> <li>Send Thank You cards (7 of them!) – done</li> <li>Send Easter Cards to our Grandparents – done</li> <li>Register for <a href="http://www.damtodam.com/">Dam to Dam 20K</a> for both me & Kyle – done</li> </ul> Supper was simple, but delicious tonight! Mac-n-cheese!!! Not the box kind though! My consisted of 2oz whole wheat pasta, 2 oz 2%Velvetta, and broccoli for a total of 6 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnmBI45uJ-R2lKOTazseGfkcLdomQ-ub7SNkLuQC0NRUnHebHuP8hKpY0Cc4mAG5IzceTNfutgdigtLY-rMvC91Ec-7o4CnMbDg5uGvxilqBaqYVkpYNrMaDg-fPC_eum2YoSLtcqvsnw/s1600-h/DSC06782%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06782" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS1d3X-coJHiyDwn1JZr_zn3Jt136ZIx4V2FSTjSS2D4b7LCqNtf39Y9_RYs3F8Obl2SNnkeXFlqTnTl4ozhWowG2HkrIL19LKnSTnUjd-ORVquvA8mAOAd0cS6MTUfJIOgRL_bP8lGB5H/?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="DSC06782" width="404" /></a> After I registered for the Dam to Dam race I couldn’t just sit inside any longer, so I went out for a run! It was a slow, but good run. I got in a little over 2 miles in 21 minutes. It was a pretty windy evening so I think that had some impact on the run.  Overall though it felt great and I’m glad I squeezed it in! When I got home I re-fueled with 1 c honeydew for 1 point. This melon has been super sweet…good stuff!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLG3Nq3q1lzwep-YfIu3GlgFod6v0UMeKpJuMGDZIGXPRqIf3Irk01LW-MzFOAOFyyKyjzIEsz5DIylS4As1WGgedKG9eJVXu9x8OrJMKbzvPo08m0sdc4Fr71SxWIAdLNvnVWfF0iBpB/s1600-h/DSC06783%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06783" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-ojB_om_viRKcPrhClTAQUvHrkD7rmU4smOVYYYOGTXMQ-RMvlBG06R-BJsg1mBqER_ZrhWC1ldWgAp13V6ywtxpBbfjpvFOuPkJTZ5eWEfvgYTnkwWEadlLCsY774NL8maO14oeQjvD/?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="DSC06783" width="404" /></a> This week is short for me.

I hope everyone had a fantastic start to their week!! MONDAY’S STATS POINTS = 21/23 WATER =  96 oz EXERCISE = 30 min workout DVD & 21 min run

But I’m so bummed… I forgot to take a picture of my outfit! I wore a new denim pencil skirt from Gap ($9.97 clearance score!!), a cardigan, and a spring-y scarf…I got so many comments at church about how nice a looked & a few people asked if I had been losing weight! I know many of you have said it before…but it sure is motivating to hear those kind words!! I did have a fiber one bar for 2 points on the way to church…photographed though. After church Kyle and I made breakfast! He wanted pancakes so I had a repeat of <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/fun-productive-saturday.html">yesterday</a>. I kept them simple today…but I made them “just” how I like them… “rare”! Don’t ask…but I love them that way! :) I also had a small amount of Kyle’s sausage patties. My breakfast was a total of 7 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFN9mhjaVKkYUggSWnbYz_Ss0zc6bNA1Nu2RKUVNxg6YsuUw09AndljATQkiwTDPtE9rqm28THk69jTYvy3efZNHn1Gc2CwQIVni5PhPRAYaYLC9w9iusmx8SUl5MHIwGQcI0izmmJWHNx/s1600-h/DSC06768%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06768" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIClyd05NBnAwW8ua3-yBQYK6ICSlqpEuAYzeN46ygT-IyTZa5YEtF8CAXScQYwz5hnMmbblTBOtOwkpVZHsBAKHd8MLDKol6Or0Z-imQg1Y-gTc6gT3N-sEgWLvH0FiWT_TU0_0FYWpeC/?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="DSC06768" width="404" /></a> After breakfast we laid down for a little nap that turned into 2 hours, but it felt great!! And then we got up to enjoy the beautiful afternoon! Before that I finished off the chips & cheese dip for 6 points, afternoon munchies! I met up with  my friend/neighbor and went for a walk with her 2 boys and Abby! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheoU6fyrqP3U_xxEqjcCcY-8TxY-wqABJafgGMvBRYf9drAYcjiH3VoTlvC0iRSZuBQOKHcrZqgxhoFjyv11z9R2kylW-1Y6c-JGMpw4Aw7wXUKmbiv2OkkZSf79BsbUIfn0SvYY0panhI/s1600-h/DSC06769%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06769" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHyonNTFhoIXLDKRQnXCgcxhNoMloJI45slDSzdWtl9XvWIGsRQM8cw-1zHiOvkNqmEwoJtv0pstNL-DyviVSV7-zrYu1-WfFAuP-32x5Kg6AxfY8arOtHEa1lUweSdpUDHx5P1hH5VEsg/?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="DSC06769" width="404" /></a> Abby was super happy to be outside and running her little legs off!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9BbHMf_tFshwhK4ajTNzjwxOqzD93QzugDdlr_sdwUdQGSqn89Gr13KBbG0sxNNdZVr0IcgBXpb18h7_PSKNdER-WY0m0MXRL88YxDehP1g8EByGPA6G92iHFQzlxMO6szec1BtBtbqqM/s1600-h/DSC06770%5B11%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06770" border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwUChfTNYkX95valS7Nz3lcsXZWgetm41ihy1pWzcjaEZgVzWMc-CfMeMmu6Fzawu9qnq1TRwBeQc9cie2M9-h6hRfZWdzfFuLUb7x3ONsB5dwzl5o_W5I8I1YstypiEuD_YoXzNJoBFTt/?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="DSC06770" width="304" /></a> We made a big loop around the neighborhood totaling about 25 minutes keeping our pace quick! We ended our walk at their house and played in the sandbox!

I made <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/02/rockin-thursday.html">pizza casserole,</a> but modifying it a little from last time I made it. Today I added some yellow & red peppers and also some ham.

Fun & Productive Saturday

Happy weekend everyone!! We made it! :) I got up early enough to see Kyle off to work. I feel bad for the poor guy, he never has Saturday’s off! :( I did a few things at home…i.e. sorted a winter’s worth of recycling that was piled up in shed (too cold to sort it during the winter!), took back pop cans, made a quick stop at Target and then…… the GYM!!! I bet you guys thought I had given up on exercising! ;) I had a rough 40 minute run that included a few minutes of walking for warm up & cool down, a few intervals, and a few breaks to stretch because my left calf kept cramping up. :( Hoping my next run will be better! I inhaled a banana for 1 point once I finished up at the gym!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivuYiYMGiop7bKz7Y7AJhhGuw8A3cI5dKK9VMz2oHmtYuBVZ-Uc7buI_q7QFLwi0VxLpwsBTIVCE7otsHYugqmFsiQ4ArEzDMTc_IleXCT6Mqqy-ktC017hV8tNk7CdbCfkD17mvhRw-Yp/s1600-h/DSC06760%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06760" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinjLUIgyJsGaBokiWMVC3gpuPvvjHCYBFlJvaVUjeqv8gPZIFGbMuqD_wBiT2vbYM9adj86PkA84QC0RCee-zQzJ7Of4908coPPs6AZMI46ypjI-j56LhgU4hjgBR69tZePzuXQbYUmweT/?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="DSC06760" width="404" /></a> I did a TON of cleaning when I got back from the gym. It felt good to get it done after being gone for a week. Everything is back in it’s place now and we have a spic & span house! :) In the middle of my cleaning I took a break to have some brunch (it was after 12pm already!). I used my new Krusteaz FF pancake mix to make some pancakes. I topped them with a small sliced banana with some sf syrup on the side for dipping. A wonderful 4 point brunch! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUQJRpbqJBFuUWLP-KUSCcZm1GdxYj0ToNd4uJ6keakuOyZyawkmrYztCstWIhr8NR5KhWUPks9afcAz67X8pO46aEhzzeBoavRRWQz0jODVJbkuv2gzzZUBWqJNtIy_iqg4oyWjXa3-y4/s1600-h/DSC06761%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06761" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ98Yq4yCHYbzWwnQdQktmhY0Xao97LrpiqFiNvvpwkGyENW0beubRiB7IBYZCndstzmvQ1Ddo3ANXudUScORbwIABa3OyXElQHzuMOHx1rTMEJbuLBZPm3fE9OkT5KJdM-nTKVXMOmHus/?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="DSC06761" width="404" /></a> Since I had a clean house I couldn’t help but invite friends over & enjoy it!

Life is like a bike ride - up a very steep hill

11:45 AM Tukiyooo 0

Yesterday I went for a bike ride in a nearby neighborhood that I've never been to before. I ended up on an extremely steep street as it wound down to the waterfront. Halfway down the hill I decided to stop and take a video (which didn't turn out). When I was ready to take off again, I looked at how steep the hill was going down, I decided there was no way I could do it. I had a fear of flipping over head first. I'm use to hills, but this one was a suicide hill. I decided to turn around and head back up the hill. The problem, the hill was just as steep going up it as it was going down. There were houses on one side and the waterfront on the other side. I kept thinking maybe there were people inside the houses watching me. My pride wouldn't let me push my bike up the hill. I thought I'm strong and powerful, I can do it. After six failed attempts at getting my bike started back up the hill, after coming close to falling over and crashing to the pavement, I finally realized I couldn't do it. I couldn't bike up this hill starting at the mid-point. I swallowed my pride and pushed my bike up the hill. It was humiliating, but I had no other choice. On my way home I starting thinking my bike ride is exactly how my weight loss has been for my entire life. Sometimes I just fly up the hills, sometimes I just can't do it and I fall, over and over I'll fall. My pride gets hurt, I'm humiliated with weight gains, and I finally, I just give up. Right now I'm practically coasting downhill with my weight loss. I'm going through one of those "this is so damn easy, why was I struggling" phases. I'm smart enough to know the easy button won't last forever. It never does. So why is my weight loss different this time? Why is this ride different than the other hundred plus times I've done this? Number one is you. Yes, the you that is reading this right now. I feel like I owe you something, that I want you to know this can be done. I'm just like you, I have a major problem with food. I love food a little too much, and it's been too big of a focus in my life. I use it for comfort and I use it for joy. I've struggled my entire life trying to get to a healthy weight and stay there. I want to prove to you it can be done by eating healthy, regular foods. I want to give you hope. I know how hard it is to lose weight, I've been doing it since I was fourteen. I'm fifty-four. That's forty years of trying to lose weight. You would think with all that practice I  would have figured it out. The fact is I'm great at losing weight. I've lost hundreds of pounds over the years. My problem is that I've never kept the weight off for more than a year. I bet you're sitting there nodding your head yes, and thinking "me too!". I want to show you this is possible. Believe me when I say this...if I can lose weight and keep it off, anyone can do it. Since I'm someone that's failed at this numerous times, it's logical that I'll fail at it again. Yet, I have confidence this time is different from all the other times. I'm not being cocky, and I'm not feeling like I'm superior or I have secret knowledge on how to do this. Or that I'm stronger or more disciplined than anyone else. In fact, just the opposite is true. I'm kind of lazy, I have no discipline, and my follow through on most things suck. Yet I truly believe I can do this, and I believe you can too. There are some other things that are different this time around. It has a to do with my eating, how and what I'm eating. I have a post started which I'll publish later this week. I don't know if it'll help anyone else but it's working for me. Again, it's not secret information or any new revelation. It's just something I've been trying for the last three weeks that has kind of changed my life. Speaking of bike rides, I think I'll go for one while the sun is still shining. My weighin Saturday, March 28, 2010 I set the goal of 170 six weeks ago. I didn't quite make it, but close enough. I'm also losing a little faster than desired these last two weeks. The week before last I lost 3.2 pounds and then this week 2.8 pounds. That's a total of six pounds in two weeks. I was "talked to" by the weighin gal and then the Weight Watchers online weight tracker gave me a warning that I'm losing too fast. I eat all the time (every three hours when I'm awake), but my night binges are under control. Plus I'm sleeping more these days, seven to eight hours a night. Goal for next week, April 3, is 169.6. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFOk_WNCGUqKBM44u2oMIG9GLIAqBXT84OVP2kepuV1zBfzaGn7PBkHVP2sBhc6SK2757VYog6KgsyuiMThKnhJtSJp_Le0D_S4_IFmUkFF0f_HeZ885dSHB_NJfNc3mb0Q9Cy8Qrv9CB/s1600/68.2+WW.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfe-C4SlFfphPNaXg8wX9gnfsvWa5ZgO2lh8cruGx-Xg8hU8mmPCqTXpCPNTCQClI6-WVX_KZ7LtQNE5yfJcoMYs14ZWgP1LNDncYT4ebMxDCeG3SIbQB1-U2zMp-FoFEoxLKmXwEeOPZS/s1600/171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfe-C4SlFfphPNaXg8wX9gnfsvWa5ZgO2lh8cruGx-Xg8hU8mmPCqTXpCPNTCQClI6-WVX_KZ7LtQNE5yfJcoMYs14ZWgP1LNDncYT4ebMxDCeG3SIbQB1-U2zMp-FoFEoxLKmXwEeOPZS/s400/171.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> My most favorite store Of course it's a grocery store, what else would be my favorite store?! It's not just any store, it's HMart. I'm in love with this place. It's like a super store of Asian markets. It's huge. It's a Korean store, but they carry all different kinds of Asian food and some American food too. The best part is their fresh produce section. It's unbelievable. For example, they have six different types of bok choy. The produce guys, who are all Korean, speak perfect English. The produce section is so huge they usually have four guys working in that area, putting out fresh produce. It's like a huge adventure every time I go there. I wanted to take pictures because it's so amazing, but it turns out grocery stores have a rule of not taking pictures inside their stores. I got into big trouble at the Metropolitan Market in Seattle a couple weeks ago. I thought the guy was going to take my camera away from me. Stupid rule. If you have an HMart near you, you absolutely must go visit it. It's always strange to me that there are so few Caucasians in this store. I was a towering blond amongst a sea of dark-haired, petite people. The variety of their produce and seafood is beyond amazing. I so love this store! <div style="text-align: center;">A few of my purchases yesterday (that's yucca in the middle - I'm making a Cuban dish with it tonight)</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYbu9FRmhg-7p8CejXuTlr5W1zXDEBzjhOY-KddhKhyPo0kDqvjMkjgFosXw1_UIy4I0adrqhJ6erZfRXxgLvTXCH7QB1tY9gniLMhcjUN0tZejMpEHCLj3JdgDomxDVgH0REbvbbsEue/s1600/Eggplant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYbu9FRmhg-7p8CejXuTlr5W1zXDEBzjhOY-KddhKhyPo0kDqvjMkjgFosXw1_UIy4I0adrqhJ6erZfRXxgLvTXCH7QB1tY9gniLMhcjUN0tZejMpEHCLj3JdgDomxDVgH0REbvbbsEue/s320/Eggplant.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;">The neighbor cat, Bear. He's kind of in love with me. If I leave anything of mine laying anywhere, he curls up with it and goes to sleep. This was my iPod strap left on the bed. He curled up with it wrapped in his paw and went to sleep. He does the same thing with my clothes or my robe or my purse. Anything of mine, but not my husband's stuff. Which is odd because my husband is the one that keeps letting him in the house. I keep telling him to go home. Although he is pretty darn adorable.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6bWgro_CYUcQTeSwlBtwaWBmGat0Rndooc6dL7qsSD27OoobvlMC5ny6obkMKL9yGCr1KC2-UhM2fDkYNzJOxbZznmpbkR2BXP-nC4TPjqWjZBrTnSDdiYm8UrnJC3B3VmH3DIwfHEhF/s1600/Bear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6bWgro_CYUcQTeSwlBtwaWBmGat0Rndooc6dL7qsSD27OoobvlMC5ny6obkMKL9yGCr1KC2-UhM2fDkYNzJOxbZznmpbkR2BXP-nC4TPjqWjZBrTnSDdiYm8UrnJC3B3VmH3DIwfHEhF/s320/Bear.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div>

A body worth keeping

6:24 AM Tukiyooo 0

I've had very few dreams in the last couple of years that I actually remembered when I woke up. Since I started sleeping more I've been remembering my dreams. Some of the dreams are good, some not so good, some borderline nightmares. Last night was a good dream. I think it stemmed from something I've started doing every morning after I get out of the shower. The idea came from <a href="http://mepschronicles.blogspot.com/" target="blank">Mary</a>, when she suggested to try and say something nice about our body. I've been doing the opposite for years. Almost every day I've been saying something or several things bad about my body for as long as I can remember. During the past week, each day I've stood in front of the mirror, naked, and found something positive to focus on. This little task is not always easy. My natural response is to immediately go for the negative. Hips too wide, thighs too fat, stomach sticks out too much. You know the routine. Every morning  last week I said something nice to myself about my body. Nice shoulders, strong arms, narrow waist, strong legs. I also touch the body part and could feel the muscles underneath the skin. Skin that's 54 years old and has been stretched and shrunk many times with my yo-yo dieting. Even though it's not the taut skin of a 20-year old, it's still soft with firm muscle underneath in most areas. I still turn sideways and stare at my belly with disdain, as well as the hips and thighs. However, I try to end each one of these morning evaluations with something positive. Love the shoulders Diana! Great triceps! Just one positive thing. The dream last night was odd, but it was a good dream. I was doing the Camel yoga pose. It's the pose where you kneel, bend backwards arching your spine and grab your ankles, and stretch, tucking your hips in and thrusting out your chest. While I was doing this, I was also outside my body. My other self was touching my naked back, admiring the firmness of it. My stomach didn't stick out since I was arched backwards. In my dream I didn't even notice my hips or my thighs. I just remember thinking what a strong body I had, that I liked it. That it was a good body. It was just a dream, but I woke up thinking wow, that was profound. Was that my subconscious telling me it's okay that my hips are too wide and my thighs are fat? That I'm still strong and powerful and should be happier with my body. Another thought I had when I woke up this morning is that I'll never be fat again. I know we all say that when we lose weight. It's the mantra I hear and read all the time. I've done it myself. Recently I went back to some of my old posts where I said "85 pounds gone forever!". I was so cocky and so sure of myself. Then I gained 20 pounds. That knocked the wind right out of my sails. I'm completely back on plan now and have been for about three weeks. I've made some significant changes in my eating which I'll write about in a later post. Things that we all know, but I never actually tried doing. There's no magic pill, but there are things that work like magic (with a little hard work thrown in). I think I want to keep this body. If it means an hour at the gym every day for the rest of my life, I'm okay with it. I've been doing that for over two years now and it's really not that big of a deal. If it means I have to eat less but eat healthy, delicious foods, I can do that too. This body is worth any hard work it takes to keep it as healthy as possible for as long as possible. It's a body worth keeping. I guess I found my words. :)

A body worth keeping

Finally Friday

I know, I know I only had a 2 day work week, but I'm ready for some down time to clean the house and just chill! Being gone wears you out! ;) I started out my morning with a random breakfast. We haven’t had a chance to go to the grocery store so I’ve been scrapping up things for meals! I used 1/2 of this sample box of Total Blueberry Pomegranate. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-CVqZJqu1OITXqMI763h3N4kdu81mmjVPnTRQyj7MrJg6aNItD_rGXc9FMH7KoATH3-xitgcm9OfCgRewNFYEW3nXqeWrRv4NpB0cghP9iljyV0nwgUUhUiS-DKRIN9lbHmXIgmzKfkq/s1600-h/DSC06750%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06750" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QqB_7iaiAgDFPGle1TsF3vR5cXr07u9Lqne3X1Q5Ahj-WdIiRxjwpFbK_HF8D7i2dpRDC0jm6RpW6kQaLW9QMc_5ccsL4BjYsEsnP4CbAPGRdxXZ7o2hnyiQFguCnbld2pvrgdIHmAjB/?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="DSC06750" width="304" /></a> And mixed it with a WW strawberry yogurt for a total of 2 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYeY3p_lgMaZhyfGD5LX5gZOF80JUqjx3921-I7pSGSxYTE_4fQxZDGBlh0TUve4exC0Ks9UZUG_2jmwP0Tt6RcYmRu0pDtFCHD9REcRvqT1WL8JgNdH-QnDSCy-q_iyU1b17EoAQ-KgzS/s1600-h/DSC06751%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06751" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1FltPXtalcmBLWxLG60YfdB6kv4r8tZttsPwtgd9wc6oJJUDj7VOKbjVL2KgDW-IwJm6UNnD0WK4NbSJR3r9KRRuFu4nwVcjALMtsd1saALxeiMeP-6XXQl59jXtN95IodtqCSzHCFrw/?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="DSC06751" width="404" /></a> I also sliced an apple to have on the side for another 1 point. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtOSq6oF9ulCmPilO5wKnFxqSbqt7Z8SLFhcuAGuDdcZKyu2c257ss1Q_wL4Hpd2a2WhyphenhyphenUT1u6dl3LhiX5H0Ih9QU6V3L3c0XMQ-byo-mLNqAHPLp8Q9Ls5VJpkEUGF5hxe6FcsbYIe3Nj/s1600-h/DSC06752%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06752" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimVJdYFMENuJsJmLctx2acbzPF6ZIxZ47MKP6BA1JNWfI76KGohFaK4Uh14N_zoIdWH-cF_FQD1wv1n8Nx10KdMwHkfD5capNS29yITNsUPlHJAu1WTT-EDAvCPrpGKDY6Fn7z5Vt35bnT/?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="DSC06752" width="404" /></a> My morning was CRAZY. I ended up having to be gone all afternoon for a presentation so I went to lunch early. I made a quick stop at the bank and then headed home and whipped up a quick turkey & cheese sandwich with 1/2c cottage cheese and 1/2c peaches for a total of 5 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWMujQVtI_VjX_-qe8MorOFVqQ0dnPcHMgKjAuRKfoZ6kp1IiohnvrvPCGnta4tevhHrycQ537yKlic7XQgryCK6Hvn6OhidxJm0QQRzl_fKZ7of-7wi15ty1-8k1fHItDp1UANzHnB52/s1600-h/DSC06753%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06753" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjW537L7Uxe9hwef5LqHU5IqG90YlKiVWxSjFRAzwuifwFy-wEHeJX5EFk405XrK_LHcEBDh9GLTH1tgplZqjL_MX2LswpS3yyv6aYCGbH8KSI-GRqzyx4xNtO95Ub1ybaAt6IkYkc1qnX/?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="DSC06753" width="404" /></a> My presentation was a financial aid talk to 8th graders…needless to say I put 2 students to sleep and I don’t really think they were too interested since college is 4+ years away for them! But it is a recruitment tool and it was interesting to hear from the middle school students! It’s been a LONG time since I was there! ;) After getting back to town after my presentation I met up with Kyle at the grocery store. Finally we will be re-stocked! One *new* thing I picked up was Boca burgers. I’ve seen these all over blogland and they were on sale so I finally decided to try them!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiFlYC5AL6p7ig605LVumBQmbvm3DUj6fIf_aqmQJ1s35y-Q3qdGibY5E61ettpd10i9N1Usfr5Pw34quFlpGhIlzfcb16z-0dv73aBhRwNqjPcw2NYp1rW4AXwwxZ3aduAfzK2ZhPlfc/s1600-h/DSC06754%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06754" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh7CSSGgCi5yIDm6ulhvUBbJIfEeMnTNr0kUaxA9oDJYM28Ks83AKWAUZLE9zBiDaBmoaYpwvw66Dt8bsDoTv-kzZJJESy9RxOBtArvDL6OXPISzINXrdqOmOb-ZuQ9eorZNuhXFFxD5WA/?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="DSC06754" width="404" /></a> I made mine into a Boca cheeseburger on a sandwich thin for 3 points.  I think these are going to be a new staple in our freezer, very good! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0SBCKUqL3z1lK9yD2lFfEUKgGwKHYWxWoVPEUuu8gllYdn4byXhoHM4e_mRgdDWDdmPa1TgAORGI6oFaEOX4pA6Hs87WS_DcskHmUsyOa_uiZa4_lKtsqwaaI-ttGAvOrwtxwrVOGETx/s1600-h/DSC06757%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06757" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIMuu8HrZtI_4zjVcemojHkslN5VmCSLTs5zksA850HFQ7yTDoOBXfuxsPN1a_eL7RcWFPly1YFhmxmZguGarfXnuFp0oVgdaL0oLhtNKgIRyUZYlb90FjDYlBN8jtPzVfcyqeYfBUC1_t/?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="DSC06757" width="404" /></a> I also steamed some broccoli and cauliflower to have on the side for 0 points! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlq1h5-i0FglD03LFcy2Fm9-x3nUglrT60sGlySK82gF9ul8Sas51Tj3iXkviwyxgKxlsA5rqu2L7DD0hrxFA0Cn_nzW5RvLqQv1ZxR9gFZWRGbQUJwTbR7KoBsNh4fY9vt6KmiI8dKcVb/s1600-h/DSC06755%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06755" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigH1qi_SKS-efwnnVzpsB2Cf37F3dU-slPEqM5uVTjfmG-NWxHzBgM213Y-3chpzsT-JpCzbyqLIQUjQhZ4BtZQmlDZwdeMOjFR8tIcXvOfDu2J1tYoSuMGec98869KZ3ibq3VPU5fNVh_/?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="DSC06755" width="404" /></a> To round out my supper I had 1 c of honeydew melon for 1 point.

First, I want to thank everyone SO much for their sweet comments!! It took a lot of time and work to get where I am today! Tips for shedding lbs!- well the best tip I can give is to stay motivated and keep that desire to want to lose weight in your head... When you do "cheat" a little, just get back to that mind set of losing weight and get right back to your normal routine of eating and exercising and burn those calories you took in!:) I try to eat little meals throughout the day, my normal eat/snack times right now are 9, 12:30, 3, 6, and 8:30. I have seen living proof (my aunts) of people that have lost so much weight and put it almost all back on because they let one "cheat" lead to another, and another...and another! That has given me the dedication to commit to myself and my health and to not let that happen to me! And one last thing, I do have a blog, but have not been on it in awhile!! It's www.jennamarieslife.blogspot.com... you can email me at <a href="mailto:jbudden_29@hotmail.com">jbudden_29@hotmail.com</a>! If you missed any of my guest posts you defiantly need to check them out. All three are very inspiring in their own way! <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/guest-post.html">Melanie</a>, <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/guest-post-2-jenna.html">Jenna</a>, and <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/third-final-guest-post-heidi.html">Heidi</a>. FRIDAY’S STATS POINTS = 12/23 WATER =  120 oz EXERCISE = none note: Ok I had NO idea I had only eaten 12 points today. That is WAY too low for me. I don’t want you guys to think I’m starving myself. But it’s already 10pm so I really don’t want to eat anything more. I am going to make a conscious effort tomorrow to get all of my points in. I don’t want my body to think I’m going from one extreme (eating a lot on vacation) to another (eating only 12 points/day).

Finally Friday

I know, I know I only had a 2 day work week, but I'm ready for some down time to clean the house and just chill! Being gone wears you out! ;) I started out my morning with a random breakfast. We haven’t had a chance to go to the grocery store so I’v…

Hey Everyone! Kyle and I made it back safely late Wednesday afternoon. But we couldn't leave Florida without going to the beach one last time! <img alt="DSC06730" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIUcRh0sz7GMuVVwCAvLA6yWYpVAAF70zFZhIECdvTqgXxFCcjMsKVl7qlBoWqIQ7VOetH5ybfclgJnufxdWHGAPhIq0TSO5E3kZ61LD7iJNPMM4m5_tQbyCnWnaZGZyT2vq_xe3XqvuPG/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06730" width="404" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVXZn0QUgLZt8mAvkgcSPAcJbmN1AKtk5j9HvBN3hzbqmgZeCXP3mHO784VpQcr7SNAMfLwyhnl-jKNxZWpwyxTX46RwFY3T1hW-dJDFDjCT0yZykHRNtsTqAD9ws4DIPhvy2od6A14lnr/s1600-h/DSC06735%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06735" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQea_nSzqcCFuzBenvDJ7YcvIg_4elZMp5SFP7EnaIwoJFk-AfCi8d4WfAIKxJq-T27DYy9bD1fZs2CV7nfV0WpfqqU4imajVOcXLQt_disMzVhRkEPyuBCFrR5ylu7agJnFSIvvaN0ww/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06735" width="304" /></a> We got home and got right to work, unpacking, laundry, a little cleaning, and ran some errands. It felt so good to be back in our own bed last night! Vacation is nice, but home is always better! This morning before I rushed off to work I made a quick breakfast sandwich. It consisted of 3 eggs whites and a slice of ff swiss cheese on a sandwich thin for 3 points.<img alt="DSC06742" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPMN6Ml4bOSYL6hhPa8T6GUHnpQ1ELyjS3tbueTblQyGMa_7-Hu3dLdnPuZCPUHAPpwsd_bULm1hhfQ6eu5SXRlKTGyLjiMcv5veBbZjpTLPI1ovAOVjO2Sh3DWZ0EY2WCJqSGmZEcLH3/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06742" width="404" /> And I also had an apple on the side for 1 point.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsOPEGvdgBHkWPsG0c9DyguCxxe7CQiHGl5LnWNVmays7QiThqjsBF2S57EfyYLe9o_858TIcQDDJKQ_nU7RYRKOlASM2-2LoSNNCtomkpsDe9GSu93SRXEBOPC7Xi3pVQ5lyJAmRHQU1E/s1600-h/DSC06743%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06743" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHYAf73_eWQ5HpIWoRqW3pTGwkdyVTmibIvcL5r99kGKI7nGFQgzl6q-dYvUGFC3M7T0fkYN1zCvvywaTQzdOPo5VFvXk-VAJHY2pHZeZJ4MTrrq3KYIQUEsW55O1u_63SoDf8vhRvoCW/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC06743" width="404" /></a> My desk was FULL of things just waiting for me to get back.

I have to admit, it was really hard to go. I just wanted to go home and relax. Which sounds silly since that is what I have done the past 7 days, but I think traveling also wears you out! I made it through my class nibbling on this Snickers Marathon Energy Bar for 4 points.
