Good grief!  I can’t believe that I haven’t posted for so long.  I guess things have just gotten a bit crazy here and I needed a brief vacation.  So let’s see…what has been going on?

Well - I am working a lot lately - we are entering busy season and there is just a push to stay on schedule so that things don’t pile up.  I have been staying later at work so that I can stay on track and that has caused some havoc in our dinner menu.  In our little home - I am responsible for dinner - my dear husband can barely boil water - so meal preparation falls to me.  This last week I barely ate lunch - in most cases I did not - and by the time I got home there was no way that I wanted to cook.  We ended up having pizza twice and taco bell once.  I can’t say that I feel totally bad about the meals as I ate within moderation and the pizza is of the garden vegetable variety - but I would definitely prefer to have had dinners that were home-cooked.  

That being said - sometimes you just gotta go with the flow. :)

I am planning on going to a new Weight Watchers meeting tomorrow - my original meeting on Wednesday is not going to work - mainly because I can not for the life of me get to it on time.  My neighbor down the street goes on Sunday with her sister and I am going to see if I can tag along with them.  I don’t think that I have been doing as well as I should have been (the tracking just wasn’t happening) but positive changes have been made (I am measuring everything and am aware of what I am eating) - and I do really think that I have lost some weight.  Especially in my face. 

We will see tomorrow.  I think that the meeting will renew my determination and it will be nice to have a friend to go with for support. :)

Well - today is all about studying.  I have another exam next Saturday so I MUST put my head down and get through some information.  I have already made a run to Sam’s and taken the boys to the vets for baths and nail trimmings.  They were in desperate need.  :)  I am now going to start folding and putting away laundry and working on getting more loads in.  The linens need to be changed and I am going to order some things from The Container Store - so the cupboards are more organized. 

As today is Valentine’s Day - I am making my husband fresh lemonade - his favorite.  It will be a complete surprise.  I also bought a baguette, some cheese, mushrooms,and marinara.   I thought I would make some small pizzas for our meal tonight - or maybe I will just have a plate of bread, cheese, and marinara or some avocado/guacamole for dipping.  I don’t know.  I know I just want it to be easy and good.  

We are still in the process of trying to get our business started - which has been a roller coaster of sorts.  I believe that we are getting closer, but are still waiting for all the pieces to come together.  We will know more in probably a little more than a week.  :) 

Once I pick up the boys this afternoon I am planning on taking them for a long walk.  I am recommitting to the Couch to 5K plan and walking the boys on the days I am not trying to run.  It is a little chilly here, but should be a good day.  

Hope everyone else has had a good start of the weekend - a very Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone - hope that it is a good one.
