Signing off for now

Keeping up with this blog has become just one more thing in my life that I need to manage, and let's face it, I haven't been managing it well.   I have a lot of demands on me daily and I need for this to not be one of them.  I also need to re-group and figure out what the heck I'm doing on this weight loss journey. 
I'm not deleting this blog, but I'm going to stop updating it for a while.  Best of luck to all of you on your weight loss journeys, thank you for reading this, and thank you for your support.
This is not an end to the fight - I'm just changing the fight up a bit.

Whatever

Sorry if my title seems to have some attitude.  I've been up since 4:40, it's 7, and I've already had my fill of a crying two year old for the whole day.  Will I get to exercise today?  Who knows!  Will I get to eat exactly what I need to in order to be healthy and lose weight?  Who knows!  I'm going to try, though. 
This past weekend was filled with birthdays and baptisms and although I ate well during regular meals, I ate a lot of sweets.  Unfortunately I also had some dessert yesterday and Monday. 

Today is a new day.  So far so good.  Good luck to all of you, and good luck to me!

Crazy Saturday!

We had a birthday party for my daughter today and I had some cake and ice cream.  I also had tortilla chips with guacamole.  Other than that it was a good eating day, cereal for breakfast, some rice for lunch (I was crazy busy cleaning the house for the party and didn't have time for a normal lunch), and stuffed peppers and brussel sprouts for dinner.
Aside from the cake and ice cream it was a good day.
This week has been good.  It hasn't been perfect but I'll give myself a solid B+.
Tomorrow will be a bit tough to plan out.  I'm going to a baptism and we'll be having lunch at a buffet type restaurant.  I'll probably stick to the salad bar.   I'll let you all know how I did tomorrow night.

Something noteworthy

I FEEL thinner!  SUCH a great feeling!

What day is it??

Sick children, snow days, and cabin fever (I think it's should be called "cabin crazy") have interfered with my posting this week, but I'm still doing well!
Yesterday I ended up having:
Breakfast:  banana, toast w/a little butter, one egg and one egg white
coffee w/ cream and sugar
Snack:  a few handfuls of fishy crackers??  (not the best snack but things were so terrible around here I couldn't even think)
lunch: a baked potato w/ a little butter/sour cream and some veggie soup
snack:  small piece of pizza (not my choice for a snack but the kids were having dinner and my husband was very late coming home due to traffic...blah blah blah)
dinner:  1/2 sub (turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and small bit of mayo).
All in all it was around a 30 point day.  Close to target...maybe too many fats and carbs but given the day I had yesterday, I'll take it!
As for today...I still don't know what I'm eating...I'll post tonight.

Yesterday

Yesterday was good.   I stuck to my food plan and only had to extra things (a hand full of potato chips at lunch and a few handfuls of almonds over the course of the afternoon/evening).
Oh boy...can't write more now....screaming in the living room.....

Regarding yesterday....

I didn't post how I did yesterday because I fell asleep at 7:30 last night!  Yes that's right, I'm totally lame.  I woke up at 12:30, washed my face, brushed my teeth and went back to bed.  Anyway, yesterday was fair I guess.  I was extremely down...another day stuck in the house due to weather with one sick child and all three of them arguing and NEEDING me all day.  I didn't quite stick to my meal plan, but I didn't totally blow it either.  In addition, I got some exercise in my doing what I've become very good at - shoveling snow!!
Today I'm going to follow the meal plan I was going to do yesterday.  So far so good.  Wish me luck!
