Hi everyone, finally have some time to check in! I had to babysit starting early this AM, and was able to come back home for my Curves workout and a quick lunch, then back for more babysitting til early this evening! Both little ones were cranky, I hope they're not coming down with something. So we had a "quiet" day, just coloring and reading books, although I got them outside to play in the sandbox for a while, the weather was just too beautiful to spend all day inside.
Yesterday was an unexpected holiday, I ended up not having to babysit afterall, and spent a wonderful afternoon just being with DH. I haven't spent much time with him since I've been away, and I think the absence made both of us appreciate each other a little more.
I made it through yesterday and today staying OP on Phase 1 - Hooray! I've been looking through the recipe threads to get some fresh ideas to keep me going, and there are some great yummy-sounding recipes there! For my supper today I had 2 extra lean turkey burgers with peppers and onions sauteed with ginger and garlic, and it was delicious.
RNMom: I do agree with you about missing fruit in Phase 1. I had some huge great tasting peaches and planned to have one yesterday, but I was very good and gave them all away. I could go for some cantalope, too, but I won't. It sure will be good to get back on Phase 2 again!
Beachgal: Thanks for the idea of mixing cinnamon and splenda into yogurt. I bought some plain yogurt and was wondering what to do with it!
Jen: You've sure been having a rough time of it lately, what with your daughter and now your dad. You are a strong person to hang in there without turning to food for comfort, and I admire you. Hope the future gets brighter for you.
Weezle: I can sympathize with you regarding not losing inches in the "booby area". After 6 months of losing everywhere else on my body, I'm FINALLY losing inches there. I think for some of us that's the last place we lose.
Hi to Mama, Ruth, Jodi, cac, Sheila, HistoryChick, Emily, skherb, Peggy, Jenne, Barbara, and a big, big hug to Ellis.
