Nicole - I'm glad to hear your mom is out of the hospital! I'll keep her (and you) in my thoughts. Good job staying on plan! It's super hard when there's that kind of stress going on!
Lindsey: great plan for today and congrats on the muscle!!
Shells: Thanks, how are you feeling?
Diana: Have I told you what an inspiration you are to me?
Nicole: We missed you too. Glad your mom is out of the hospital. You are your mom are in my prayers
xDxxTx: welcome good job on the lost weight!
Pink: the more the merrier
I went to aqua zumba today. Finally! It was so nice to be back in the routine. I did half an hour lap swim before zumba. Was exhausted and shaky afterwards but figured out its cause I am coming down with something. I'm running a fever so I am going to snuggle on the couch for the rest of the day and watch movies with my loved ones.
B: missed it again (my worst habit)
L: 2 eggs, 1/2c cheese, pear and fruit crisps
D: 3 oz blackened pork shoulder steak, 1 c baked beans, 2 cups steamed brocoli/cauliflower with a lowfat cheese sauce
Snack: 2 oz cashews
Dessert: 1 c hot chocolate and 1 biscotti
It's a good thing that I worked out today because some of the meals were very nutrient dense! lol But I stayed under my calorie allotment with some to spare!
Also my week of eating unhealthy did not pack on any pounds. Still at 275.
Roxanne Aww, thanks. That means a lot. I hope you aren't coming down with something.

Busy yesterday and today with a wedding cake for a family friend. . . ate too much stuff I shouldn't have and I am exhausted. The cake was a hit and I was really pleased with it. It is definitely one of my favorites - not bad for an amateur. I love that "everyone" wants to know if I do cake for a living. Nope.

MamaP: Thats a gorgeous cake! You are really good! I bet it tasted as good as it looks! I am into culinary arts, I have taken many classes for that field and really like the style of it, not to mention the roses! Its very stunning
Thanks Ladies! We had a great time! Here are a couple pics from last night...
Stayed on plan ALL day (ate about 1000 cals), and surprisingly wasn't hungry. I felt very satisfied BUT, once I had a few shots I was snacking a little, nothing major. I drank a little more than I had planned. But, I NEVER drink, so I guess it's ok. Up a pound this morning, I'm feeling bloated, the snacks were kinda salty. Hopefully I'll kick that pounds but and be back down to 162 (or less) in a few days!
to everyone!
