DareI go out today? It's about noon on Sunday and I'm still in my jammies...don't want to shower or get dressed...what a lazy Froufy!
(Leens - what color/type of jammies are you wearing this weekend?
)
May take kiddies out to movie this pm, if I can get motivated....dh gone in to work! I am also catching up on cleaning and laundry but I've already had my fill of that. Did get my dd to wash her own (grimy) bathtub...what a whiner! Just complaining and whining and protesting....until I took away one of her new (Roxy) sneakers we bought yesterday...that got her moving! Gave her some gloves and Vim and set her to work - not a bad job either for a 12 yr old. She is still so immature tho - I now see her playing dinky cars with her little brother! very cute!
While I did not eat anything super bad yesterday I did have a lot of carbs! I am actually up TWO LBS TODAY - which I know is insane...and probably water retention so I am trying not to stress too much about it.
I am dreading going back to work tomorrow tho - and I think this is affecting my mood and eating behaviour. I am also very tired as I did not sleep well...had a massive headache all day yesterday - maybe from the carb overload on Friday??? Was popping painkillers all day - finally felt better around 11 pm!
Lekker - good for you with the skating? Ever been to Ottawa? We have the longest skating rink in the world - when the Canal freezes over it is open to the public and it's great fun. There are ice sculptures and little huts on the ice to change into skates...they also sell hot chocolate and the famous Beavertails (not for low carbers - this is like a doughy pastry thing - very yummy in the shape of a beavertail - usually dipped in cinammon and sugar). I prefer going to the Westin hotel and getting a table overlooking the canal and watching the skaters and sledders on the ice. We have a 2 week celebration in February called Winterlude with lots of events and fun on the Canal.....lots of tourists come for that!
My boss actually sent around an email the other day for our next "divisional" meeting - she suggested we all go skating on the canal for an afternoon..and hot chocolate and beavertails too of course! That should be fun...
Spedmom & others - I also love fitday and try to use it religiously...another site I use when I can't find what I'm looking for is:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl Pretty scientific and has lots of database entries!
Khem - looks like you're doing really well! Don't worry about the calories right now - it is very typical to have pretty high calories in the beginning...this will settle down in the next few weeks - and i agree - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Congrats Theo's girl and Tummy for getting those pounds off! Good for you!
Spygirl - hang in there - it does get easier!
Angel eyes - I wish I was all caught up on my cleaning - like that will ever happen - I love reading a good book (currently reading Peyton Amberg - very weird story, but quite engrossing)..and I do steal a couple of minutes here and there when I can.
That's it for now - the dryer is calling my name.
Hope everyone has a great "rest of the weekend"!
Froufy
