My weekend has been wonderful so far Yesterday, I cracked and was horrible- I seem to do good for 2 days and bad for one! But I knew I was going to the Cheesecake Factory and as much as I tried to convince myself to have a Portobello Mushroom Burger, I just couldn't. LOL! So I had some Mexican taco dish- it was pretty good. What was REALLY REALLY good, though, was a Strawberry Martini! OMG- I've never had a martini before- what was I waiting for??? It tasted like pure fresh strawberries and was sooooooooooooooo good.

Today, I'm trying to motivate myself to work-out :P Heh- fun!

You may want to try taking an iron supplement- which is what they'd recommend if you are anemic anyways! I'm on Walmart's Prenatal vitamins (for the folic acid, but they also have iron, etc, in them) and I usually bruise real easily- since you mentioned it, I just realized I'm not bruising as easily anymore! Must be the iron in the capsules!

I'm suffering horribly from allergies to my Coatis right now- when we brought our youngest home, she was on such a horrible diet that she had tons and tons of dander. Like clouds of dead skin- disgusting! Anyways, since then- I've turned into an itchy machine. I think I'm going to try taking a Vit E and B complex supplement and see if that will help. Itching sucks!

I introduced a new step into my exercise program yesterday. I bought the DVDs to the Firm awhile back- excellent work out program, but I'm not rythymic enough to do it (I slaughtered that word!) and it came with this weight stick. Anyways, so I'm now doing 50 curls, 20 minutes on my machine, 50 squats, and then 20 more minutes. Hopefully that will build muscle which will help me in my long-term goal!

Tomorrow, I'm going to be bad and drink Slim Fast for 2 meals and I'll probably do it Monday too. I just feel like I need to be extra aggressive to hit my 10 pound mark.

You, btw, are doing so wonderful! You haven't hit a plateau yet and looks like Onederful is right there for you! Can't wait for the morning you see it on the scale!

Hellooooooooooooo?

How was your weekends? Mine basically sucked- haha. My Hubby ended up working until 3 am Saturday night and then he had to be back at work by 8 am Sunday. It's 5:30 PM Sunday and he's still at work. Only good news is that he's been on double-time since like 5 PM last night, so it will be a real nice paycheck. Money, however, is only nice when it's in my hand- I'd much prefer he be home!!!

I went out and bought those two vitamins I mentioned- E and the B Complex. I'm going to see if they help out my allergies. If not, I may go to an allergist. Whatever it takes because itching is horrible!

What is everyone up to? Ooooh, I want grocery shopping today and bought a bunch of fresh squash and zuchinni and mushrooms- so I'm probably going to make a vegetable medley with pepper and a dab of butter for dinner for me tonight! SlimFast- ya really don't taste all that great!

Morning, Sunshines! How are our Monday's? Mine is great- my scale said 155 this morning! Woo hoo- so I'm at the 10 pound mark, but I need to stick with it or the scale will creep up for sure!

Thank you, thank you! I just had fresh veggies for a snack today- yummm! MUSHROOMS! LOL! I love em! How's your afternoon going? I think I'm breaking down and having my Lean Gourmet!

My afternoon is going slowly too, but it's almost over as Tim is on his way here now and then we are going to go to a Pawsox game. It should be fun since it no longer looks like it is about to pour

I hope you enjoyed your Lean Cuisine and that you have a good night. I will check back in the morning!

Yay Trish on your 155

I had a dinner party this weekend. Of course with non-diet food. It was great, and I haven't stopped eating it yet. I need to get back on track!! I had a migraine yesterday, so that blew the whole afternoon & evening, and I'm all groggy today. I think I did some feeling-sorry-for-myself eating yesterday and today. I need to get motivated again! Tomorrow is another day.

I got some new lean cuisine dinners, so that'll help with lunches. I love Burger King's Veggie Burger, and it's not bad for me either! I probably get that once or twice a week.

I feel all blah today. I wanted to get outside and plant some things, but I'm still at the hospital. So much for plans today. What strange hours I keep.

Sorry this is down. I'll try again tomorrow.

Hi Jess

It's super-okay! We all have down days- I think the last few days, I've been pretty bummed! Tonight, I think I'm going to get a Kid's Meal at Wendy's with my kids- LOL. Calorie-wise, it's not that bad and I just really want some fries. At least in a kid's meal- it's a small portion!

Morning, Sunshines! How are our Tuesdays going?

Yeah and sometimes, you just have to indulge! You did great avoiding the fried dough, so you might as well have the chicken parm Right now, I think AF is coming and that's depressing... 2 months of TTC- it would be easier if I didn't KNOW what I was doing (ie when you are supposed to ovulate, blah blah). Anyways, I just ordered some real cheap home pregnancy tests/ovulation tests from Ebay figuring that next cycle, I might as well save some money. I'm a COMPULSIVE tester- totally compulsive, have to test even when it's waaay too early!

Anyhoo- that's my day! I want pizza- LOL- how bad is that?
