Been a while since I posted and doubt I will be posting regularly anytime soon. I have just been soooo busy there isnt much time, I guess thats a poor excuse but it is my excuse. in reality- if I can check my facebook I can blog my food intake at least!
Been refinishing the kitchen cabinets- I almost have the entire kitchen stripped. then on to priming and painting. Worked on it for so long today I forgot to eat lunch! now its 9 and I don’t really want to eat a heavy dinner but going to have to pick something up. Ordered a new dishwasher and DH didn’t want to pay for the installation so he is at lowes getting the required parts to install it with. blech. I am beginning to wish I wouldn’t have gone with his idea and insisted that we have it installed. it would be done already- seems like a headache to me, but if he wants to fiddle with it thats fine too…
I plan on beginning to workout after thanksgiving, I just don’t think it will happen before then. With the kitchen project going on now I will have to paint after work whenever possible and then on the weekends I am sure at least the next one I will be consumed with this project. then cleaning before fam comes thanksgiving… I just don’t see time, But after that there should be so I am committing to doin it then!
Im so pooped. this remodel may be the death of me! OH, and its probably 50 degrees in the house but I can’t close the windows because of the fumes. *sigh* I need to get the rest of it finished tonight so tomorrow night I can close up the house! and not freeze to death!

I can’t believe its November already! I have got to get back to posting, although all my friends who were on here have seemed to leave. That doesn’t help me to be held accountable! but I will keep on anyhow and hopefully they will be back soon! So for Halloween we ended up going out it was pretty fun but I drank too much and ended up pretty much sleeping the entire next day. Today has started out well, I had some potatoes and veggie sausage for breakfast(170cal) and lunch hasn’t come yet- I will probably just make an early dinner because I ate breakfast around 11. I think I may make some chili for lunch/dinner that way I have it for later in the week as well. Don’t really need to go to the grocery yet this week, I think we went later in the week last so hopefully that will save me a lil money this week 
I am going to hide the liquor bottles this week too. I am going to not drink during the week or on work nights. I need to really lay off of it alltogether. That has to be the reason I am not losing weight! too many empty alcohol calories!

I have been doing pretty good, except on the posting part… I will get better!
Today work kinda stunk, didn’t do much the first part of the day, but the last half was busy- hopefully the rest of the week will be busy!
Today I had coffee with rice dream for breakfast, lunch was an Amy’s frozen meal, snack was a serving of chips, dinner was rice and green bean casserole with veggie chicken patty. Having a Jack and Diet for dessert. I think I will call it an early night! I am so tired!

Halloween Party was lots of fun Saturday, I spent yesterday taking naps! LOL, I don’t think I felt bad just tired and hadn’t taken my medicine so I think that made the sleeplessness catch up with me! I woke up this morning feeling so awful and swollen, I am sure it was from 2 things, bread last night and bread the night before! so, on detox this week, once again! LOL. from gluten anyway. SO far this morning I had gf rice cereal with rice milk and half a small banana. lunch will be leftover gf pizza(1 slice) salad if I am feeling like it, and dinner will be either chili or some kind of soup- dh can decide that!
On the agenda for today is laundry, sweep and mop, upstairs bathrooms-replace curtain in dh bath, and clean my bedroom. after I get that accomplished I want to head to the lake with the doggies to take some pictures. It is so beautiful!
I think for Christmas for mom I want to do what I have been wanting to do for years but never got around to it. I need to sneak to her house and take some pics of her pooches… maybe take them to the park or something but I need to get enough that I can make a calendar for her with different pictures on each month. Epecially with Sophia being ill lately I would like to get it done soon… I should call Denis and see if he would be able to help me with that tomorrow- I would really like to get it done while the leaves are so beautiful!

I have lots of stuff prepped for the party, tomorrow night I will be baking the cookies I have prepped, they have to set in the fridge overnight- and I have cleaning to do. but tonight I got spin dip done, ranch dip made, the cookies I made are going to be cand corn cookies… similar to these…
My plans for the party as far as food goes is Spinach dip, beer cheese dip- both to be served with tortilla & potato chips and fresh bread, then a veggie tray with ranch dip, cheese and crackers, candy corn sugar cookies, fresh cowboy caviar salsa, margaritas
I am still contemplating getting a keg, I suppose I will decide tomorrow… need to take my petticoat back tomorrow, it looks silly with my costume and I don’t need it.
Dinner tonight ended up being a salad with buffalo veggie chicken patty, ranch and cheddar. I think I am still within my calories though. I really need to be putting everything into calorie king, but I am not in the mood for it- not a good excuse but it is what it is…

I am excited but sure that won’t be good for the diet!

I got back from the Birmingham hair show and food fest last night and followed that with a scrumptious dinner at Olive Garden- I had eggplan parm and wine. so good, but back on track now! I really need to get some of this weight off before the holidays hit and VEGAS! I want to not avoid picture taking anymore- I guess thats vain but it is what it is. I want to have nice memories for our vacations and my memory is horrible so I need the pics! LOL… ok… Just got back from Walmart, lots of cleaning to do today. DF is up today replacing some wood on the front of the house to hopefully fix our squirrel in the attic problem! LOL… anywho- lots of good healthy foods bought and prepped so I am good to go! so far today i had a gf flax waffle with .5tbs earth balance spread… and a couple cups of hobbit Shire soup minus the added carbs I normally put in there. and a cup of coffee with rice dream. Dinner is undecided at this point, will just have to see what dh wants to do. So my plan for now is to try to eat under 1200 cal a day, preferably around 1000 just for this first week anyway. I need to detox from my vacas so I am planning on not eating any rice pastas or fake stuff like that. just veggies and fruits and legumes. yum. I plan on only eating those things on the weekends now for a small treat cheat and not to get off track. I think I can do it like that- My DM and DF have been doing it that way and both lost a lot. I just haven’t had the willpower but I think I have found it now~! Family coming next month for thanksgiving and I would like to be able to fit into my clothes better- especially get some new jeans. then Christmas is coming and we will have company then, and before you know it vegas will be here and I really don’t want to be uncomfortable in my clothes in Vegas!…
OK, time to get moving again!

Been a couple of days and I messed up those couple of days too! Saturday night after work I went to a wine tasting party at an old co-workers house! It was super fun and I drank way too much. after that we went to a bar downtown and I ended up having to crash at her place because I drank way too much and bri had drank too so he couldn’t come and get me. and that led to feeling like crap yesterday , at first I couldn’t even think about eating anything I thought I would be sick! then i had some tater tots for lunch with a black bean patty, and I ended up making beer cheese soup for dinner and had some of a baguette with it. the soup was so delicious :)…
anywho- I am back on track today; Having leftover hobbitshire soup for breakfast now, I am thinking I will make chili for a late lunch. the last time I made chili I think the batch was cursed. it didn’t turn out and I tried to cook it again and it was good, but then I didn’t come home and the crock pot stayed on all night and it got soo gross!!! anyway- dinner will be either leftover chili or I may make some gf pizza crust to freeze later and if I do that I am sure I will make a mini pizza no cheese for dinner. all things go into CK today! and the rest of the week! Also plan to get off my fat ass and get moving this week.
ON the to-do list today is cleaning, laundry, have bri move appliances before we go to bed so I can grout under them tomorrow. I really need to get the house in order this weekend so I will be ready for our party weekend after next. Won’t have time this coming weekend bc Stacy F and I are going to a hairshow in Birmingham- fun times! I also want to run to opry mills, maybe tomorrow after the fitness center and get a petticoat for my costume. Other than that is just cleaning and organizing and maybe going for a hike somewhere sounds good! Hope you girlies are doing well, haven’t seen any of yall around here lately!
