Last night I was too tired, again, to add on any yoga. Hopefully I can get caught back up on my stuff that I need to do. DH mentioned about cooking burgers for the game tonight. I am also planning on doing a workout and getting my yoga in. I am up on a scale a little. I have seen much worse gains, so I will take it. Since it wasn't a large gain, I wonder if I will show a second gain. That happens sometimes with me.

This is the lady who let my niece's daughter live with her for awhile...unrelated, no biological connection etc except she always wanted to adopt a little Native girl and had her sights set on this one....And when my niece came back to live with us and decided that her daughter should be here too, this lady FLIPPED OUT and when we all stood together as a family and refused to "return her", she has continued to harass us every since...BTW, the little girl does NOT want to go back to this lady and throws a huge fit every time it's even brought up and used to have nightmares waking up begging not to go back there...Makes you wonder huh?
This lady has harassed and threatened us by phone and through Facebook until we had to get a protective order....She threatened to sue us and called state child welfare services making all sorts of allegations about us, niece, her boyfriend etc...Today she was in the store at the same time as us and followed my niece around the store yelling at her and me that we "took her child away from her"...ummm NOT her child....(??!!)
OMG! That's even more scary than the phone calls! I'd have a GPS on that child. People are really nuts.
I'll be off to work soon and then picking up my son after.
It's getting to the point that I don't want to work 5 days anymore. I think I want to cut back to 4 but I'm afraid to ask, I think the owner would get pissy since I was so adamant about working 5 days upon hiring...but I thought I would be broke. It turns out I'm doing ok money wise which is great (*knock on wood) but I am getting burned out working so much. I think I will play it safe and not say anything until after May when I have been there a year and 100% positive I want to drop a day. For now I should request vacation time in June before anyone else does.
Down 1lb today to 173.0lbs. Not bad. It's a tough day today as my wife went to the gym which means I don't get to go until later. Which means working out on a hungry stomach. I hate doing that.

DH took both the little kids over to his bro's house to watch the Superbowl...they even took our dog LOL...the older kids are all out somewhere still....I've had the house to myself for over THREE HOURS (!!!!)....it's been soooo nice I've done all the laundry, I patched up son's Cub Scout uniform badges, I paid the last of the bills, and I even got our taxes done online and filed then I went shopping for supplies that I need this week at my program...now i'm going to put away the laundry and clean the kitchen....
I don't really want time to relax....it's just SO NICE to be able to get chores done without everyone underfoot, in the way, and being loud
The grocery store where I shop is no longer carrying the yogurt I normally eat. I eat the small cups. I have been curious if my yogurt is triggering my sweet tooth. I have gotten to where I eat the yogurt before my apple. When I ate the yogurt last I seemed to feel munchy. Since the store is no longer carrying it, I decided to sub sugar snap peas. My only concern is that the yogurt has protein and protein seems to fill me up. But, in the past, I have consumed extra veggies to fill me up where as that small cup of yogurt wouldn't fill me up. So I bought enough sugar snap peas to get me through the week. I will see how I feel with this substitution. I probably won't change the info on my lunch posting. I will just see how it goes. If it goes well, I will change the info.

Overall, wish the day had more produce, but we needed to go to the store! Store trip happened between lunch and dinner, which is how I had kale salad with dinner Glad to have fresh fruits and veggies in the fridge again!
I ended my day at 1300 calories and 93 carbs and THEN I had two bowls of cereal I don't know what the calorie or carb content was but i'm FINALLY full and satiated and not craving sweets anymore....*sigh* some days are just like that, NEVER full, perhaps because of my weight training? not sure...
Hello everyone, I have been appearing and disappearing on this forum. That is because my weight loss strategies have been on and off. As a result I have gained 8 pounds! I was 159 when I left this forum because I was frustrated that I did not lose any more weight. Now that I left it, I have regained the weight and right now I will be happy to be 159!
I also got diagnosed with runner's knee so I can't run anymore which is my primary exercise. This forum was so helpful in losing and maintaining my weight last year. I look forward to getting back on and back on track
I am inspired reading your daily accountability and even if I dont post everyday I have promised myself to read everyday and get inspired
