Good evening ladies!!!!
Tummy~ Oh my hubby's been bored to death of my menu for years now!
I'm only now getting creative in the kitchen and he's sometimes thrilled, other times irked--depends on how healthy it is
. I made a new dish tonight that he was on the fence about--but I'll write about that later.
Yeah, the c/section mishap was a bummer, but a cake walk compared to getting my staples removed after the girls--oh good gravy--I'd take a full body plucking over that agony any day of the week! It was absolutely horrific! And I'm not a wimp either, it was the longest hour and a half of my life! (yes, an hour and a half...*groan*) Hope you had fun in Edmonton!!! And congrats on the loss chickie! Have your scale call my scale and get him on board k?
Ruth~ congrats on the loss! I bet the rest of it will be nothing but a memory tomorrow!
FSA~ Ahhh, swimming! I'd love to be able to swim laps! Alas, we have no pool
Oh well, one day maybe I'll join a gym and swim there!
Hope you had a great day girlie!
shasha~ weights are really not that hard--awkward at first, but after a few times you get the hang of it and it's easy peasy! On the exercise board there's lots of discussions about strength training with weights, you should check it out! Hope you were strong today in the face of Jack in the Box! Hubby loves that place, ahh, but there aren't any here and that brings him much sorrow.
Not me though, that's just one less temptation for him to face!
MsP~ What? You're just gunna do a fly by? *sniff* Okay, I guess...*sniff*
Hope you had a great day! Hopefully you can update us a little more tomorrow!
Mystical~ I bet once you get completely settled and get a chance to breathe you'll settle right back into your exercise routine. Moving is such a pain! So much to do...ack! As far as snacks for your hubby...hmm, does he happen to have room for a cooler in his truck? If so, the possibilities are endless! Wraps, yogurt, fruit, granola bars, boiled eggs, carrots/broccoli/celery (with or without peanut butter), nuts...what else? Cheese sticks, or better yet, Laughing Cow wedges (less fat), hummus...I'm running out of ideas, but with a cooler anything can get packed in there.
Hopefully you can find snacks he'll eat. Hubby insisted I buy him yogurt and I did--he never, ever eats it when I put it in his lunch--ever! So, I told him he's not getting anymore because I'm tired of throwing it away (I'd eat it but he likes flavors I don't)!
NSM~ Aww, sorry to hear about your computer! Thank goodness you can still check in! (unlike our poor Jacqui
) Glad to hear you're getting back on track hun! Check in when you can and know that when you can't, we're still here cheering you on!
Wifey~ Welcome back hun!!! I can't wait to see your Onederland post girlie!!!
Molly~ I'm sure you'll do just fine at the bbq--perhaps eat a healthy snack before the main food is set out? Drink lots of water before hand too to help fill you up.
Have fun at the aquarium!!
Merose~ congrats for being OP!!! Sounds like you've got it planned out pretty well for work! I can only imagine how hard it would be to avoid snacking when working nights! Hang in there, you're doing great!!!
sotypical~ good for you hun! Sometimes if we set our goals too high, it backfires, so it's great that you recognized it wasn't working for you! Enjoy your family and have fun with your workouts!!
misspiggy~ mmm, that chicken dish sounds yummy! Congrats on the run and the financial aid!!! Awesome news!!! Keep up the great work hun!
khunter~ Great job this week! Keep us posted on your WI K? We want to hear the good news!
Well, chickies, I did it! I only drank 64oz of water! Well...okay, maybe 68 or maybe even 70...but I didn't drink my usual 128oz!
I'm hoping that will help flush out this water I'm holding onto!
Decided to go ahead with the 30 Day Shred and got it done after the girls went to bed. It felt good to exercise again at the end of the day--guess I was kind of missing my night time workouts after all.
Not sure if I'll keep doing them so late though, might have to figure out a time in the afternoon...I don't' know, we'll see how stuff goes with the new schedule once school starts.
Tried a new recipe tonight!! Feta stuffed chicken! It was okay--I got the recipe from Cooking Light online and also from here somewhere (Not sure where, I Googled and it came up) and it called for Feta & fat free cream cheese--like I said, it was okay, a little tart and on the bland side as far as seasoning goes--but I can work with it. I'll maybe add sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil next time...MMM! Listen to me, talking like I know how to cook and stuff!
But here's what I'm most proud of with dinner tonight: The Veggies!!! Fresh from our garden zucchini, grape tomatoes (again with the tomatoes! Can you even believe it?
) and fresh baby spinach, sauteed in a little Olive Oil spray and sprinkled with some Parmesan & herb seasoning--YUM-O!!! Hubby snubbed the tomatoes, but I ate every single one! I even took pics of it!
I told you I was proud.
I still can't believe I made it and actually ATE it!!! Me, a reformed veggie hater--who'd have thought?
Well girls, I'm just
and I really should get ready for bed. My long ST'ing workout is tomorrow and I want to get up early so I can get it done before Em wakes up!
Hope everyone had a spectacular day and that you have a wonderful night! See you all tomorrow!!! Nighty-night!
