Hey guys!
Boy am I tired. I was out late last night, whizzzed in the door to watch the last bit of American Idol. Got ready for work and helped DD do homework, took a shower then crashed
into bed. I don't think I turned over once last night! lol
Yesterday Amber (dd) and I drove an hour to a large shopping center in Knoxville. We shopped for 2 hours then meet the weight loss group I am in for supper at Mimi's cafe. The dietician was there (actually two of them) and we all got to order what we wanted. Then she went over good choices on the menu. Things she said to do: Make ordering about you! ask for no butter, no salt. If they have it on the menu you can create your own meal. She said not to feel guilty about asking for things on the side or to change something about an item you don't want/like. Opt for water instead of tea/soda/coffee. If available look at NI, either at resturarant or online before you go. I beleive they choose Mimi's Cafe because they have a lifestyle menu that has the NI right on the menu. Another important note, eat as if you were at home. Don't think your stomach is bigger because your at a different table. Watch portion sizes, get a to go box before you food comes out and box 1/2 of it up right away. Skip the bread, unless you not having a starch with your meal, and skip the butter. Eat off the kids menu. She said to skip the convienence eating like fast food and opt for a sit down resturant because are you are more to find something that is healthy and because you can have them change it to what you want/need. It was very informative and am glad I went. Amber was not impressed and said she'd rather of gone to Granny's so she could be on facebook.
Next week our meeting is "Walk with Stacey" I just called and reserved my spot. We are going to meet with the exercise physiologist. She is going to go over warm up and we are going to have our meeting about walking while we "WALK" around the hospital campus track. Cool. I get in my meeting and exercise all in one evening. Plus to make all that even better I have hired my mother to come over on Wednesdays to clean my house. She will keep Amber at my house while I am gone. So I get to come home to a clean house plus I don't have to drive an extra 20 minutes to go pick up Amber and then drive home again.
My beagle is such a goober. He makes me
. I filled up the holes in the yard last week and already they are dug out again. Plus he chewed a hunk off the lattice off the porch.
Yesterday I stopped at Petsmart and spent a small fortune on toys. I got the kong with the liver treat that you squirt into it. Hopefully it will keep him occupied while we are gone. I just don't get it, he is only alone for 2 hours a day. The rest of the time he is with someone and is fine. Maybe it's separation anxiety that makes him want to chew.
hubby says it's just a puppy phase but he is a year old this year shouldn't he be slowing down some?
That's it for me. hope everyday has a wonderful day.
