First I would like to wish all the mothers a very happy mother's day! You are all truly special!
I didn't blog yesterday. I overate and just didn't feel like writing about it. I had 2 pieces of pizza with extra cheese and 3 buffalow wings from T&C. They have the best wings. Then I had a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. So many points. But today is a new day and I just have to keep looking forward.
It was a wonderful day today. Kids got me bangle bracelets and a locket. They were so cute. As soon as I got out of bed they were all over JP to get the gifts so they could give it to me. Then we took them bike riding and B learned to ride his bike with no training wheels! I am so proud of him! It took a lot of work and determination from him and now he is on his way to being a pro, lol. We even bought him a new bike from Walmart. He had such a proud look when he was able to ride the new "big boy" bike.
Ok. I left this for a while because there is a family emergency. All the kids are fine. We are ok. No worries there. Very private matter. I may be a few days before I post again.

Friday the Thirteenth
Ok. It's not really friday the thirteenth. But it is my thirteenth day on WW. Almost 2 weeks. Had a really good day today. Did some laundry and put it on the clothesline. Went grocery shopping for tonight's dinner. Made cookies. My BFF came over (love you, M!). Pretty easy going day.
I made tonight's dinner from a WW recipe. Herb stuffed shells with sauce made from fresh tomatoes. (or is it tomatos? Ok, spell check says add the e). It came out so yummy. I was very proud of myself (I'm not into cooking, in case you didn't know), although I had to make them not fat free because of hubby. Then I made some chocolate chip meringue cookies. Those are ok. Not as good as mom's tho. Oh well, I will have to keep trying.
So now it is getting pretty late, well for me anyway. Feel like an old fart sometimes going to bed by 10. But I'm up early and kids keep me active. Tomorrow it's off to sign B up for softball. Or baseball. Or whatever it is for 7yr olds. Maybe they will have a league for C too. Not sure if they do it that young. Guess we will find out.
Breakfast: special k cereal w/fruit and yogurt. cut up banana in cereal
Lunch: leftover cold drumsticks (yes, cold) and wax beans
Dinner: stuffed shells
Snack: strawberries, 2 meringue cookies, skinny cow
I just want to mention (possibly again, my memory sucks) that my snacks are spread out during the day. I just list them in one place because it is easier that way.
So now kids are in bed and I am heading there too.
Good Night!

Day 12
It was an easy day today. Did some light grocery shopping with some help from C. "mommy can i have (fill in blank here), mommy i want ____, mommymommymommy". But he was so proud of himself for taking a case of soda off the shelf and putting it in bottom of cart all by himself. It was so very cute. Then it was home for the whole afternoon. I had to leave at dinner time for the SGC meeting at the school. I have to go over all the paperwork, but I think it was a good meeting. More confused than ever but at the same time I am a little more educated. One step at a time.
No big temptations today, except those monsterous cookies at my meeting. OMG they were so big and yummy looking. All kinds of grinders too. Even chicken caesar salad, which is very high in points so thank goodness I don't like salad. It looked good tho. I had a turkey and cheese grinder with just a little mayo. Healthiest choice there and lowest in points. Well maybe the salad is healthier but like I said, I don't like salad. I know it's weird but oh well. I hate raw veggies and that's what salad is.
Breakfast: waffles
Lunch: turkey sandwich on whole grain and veggie sticks
Dinner: the turkey grinder i mentioned
Snack: strawberries w/sugar (just enough to bring out the juices), skinny cow
So as not to confuse anyone since I said I don't like raw veggies; veggie sticks are not actual veggies in stick form. They are S&S brand all natural chips that is supposed to be made from vegetables. Somehow I doubt that. But I portioned them all out in bags and now when I have my sandwich they will be all ready for me. I have to have chips with my sandwich. Unless I have soup. But I can't have just a sandwich. Another weird thing about me.
So now the kiddos are in bed and I am heading there soon. My cat is already meowing at me to hurry. She gets impatient sometimes. Fits right in with the rest of the crazy family.

Day 11
I had a bad food day today. You would think that being home would be less stressful, but it is more tempting. I had some serious snacks today. Mom came to visit C today. She can drive anyone back to their drug of choice. Mine just happens to be food. Don't get me wrong. I love mom very much. She is a wonderful person. But you need a lot of patience and I had none today.
We went to drop off stuff at Savers. Love that store. Going this weekend to see if they have any Dean Koontz books. Anyway, I'm getting off track. I do that a lot. After Savers, we went to Pralines for some ice cream. Had it been Friendly's I could have resisted. But Pralines is awesome. I just can't turn down a raspberry swirl with shots. But I had a kiddie cone. That's gotta count for something, right? Then it was the eye doctor for B. Over a half hour just waiting to be seen. I was very irritated. All is well and we don't go back until March. Then it was off to Campout for Reading at school. It was fun, not a lot of people. Book fair was open. B spent all his money on books. He even got a diary. So cute. Oh, and they served smores. Ooohhhh they were sooo good! All that chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness. Even you couldn't resist.
So now I am home, just put kids in bed. Now to settle them down enough to sleep. Oh, my food day. Not sure I want to list everything. I went over my DP, but still have WP left. Maybe I will wii fit tomorrow. I just have to remember to do it.
Breakfast: waffles (no bananas left)
Lunch: rice w/ss sauce and an egg roll (different one than last night's)
Dinner: shake & bake drumstick, rice pilaf, wax beans
Snack: ice cream cone, smores
Well not that it's listed, doesn't seem so bad. Still feel like I overdid it tho. Going shopping tomorrow so I will have fruit again. Goes too quick in this house. Guess that's a good thing.

Day 10
Ok first, I am going to start changing the title of my blogs. Getting tired of just the number of days I'm dieting. Oops. The start of my lifestyle change.
C had surgery today. Ear tubes removed and his tongue clipped. He did very well until we got to the pre op room. Then he kept saying he didn't want his ear tubes removed. He was getting nervous. CCMC is a very good hospital tho. The nurses were very nice and helpful. He drove a battery operated car into the operating room. Then he had to breathe into the mask and blow up the balloon. He liked doing that. It was very freaky, tho, because when he fell asleep his eyes were still wide open. I hate watching my kids get put to sleep anyway, but this was awful! After it was done and he woke up, he would not stop screaming and crying until we were on our way out. The nurse was actually rushing to get us out! Poor baby. He kept saying his tongue hurt underneath. He was given fentanyl while he was sleeping, morphine and tylenol before we left and he was still in a lot of pain. When we got home and he started to feel better, he asked "mommy! what happened to the line under my tongue?!" He was so very grouchy all day. Everything made him so mad! And whiny! OMG was he whiny. But i felt so bad for him.
So I haven't really had time to think about food today. (Well, at least not obsess about it). We left the house about 6:30 this morning. Dropped of B at M's house. (Thank you!!!) Got home about noonish and then catered to my boy. Now I have free time and those egg rolls are looking mighty good! I may actually use some WP for one. Yes, they are that good.
Breakfast: waffle and banana
Lunch: spanish rice (M's are without a doubt the best!)
Dinner: chinese food (i know what you're thinking but i got the healthy selection). steamed seafood and veggies with white rice and ss sauce. yum!
Snack: skinny cow (and possibly an egg roll)
So once in a while I have to give in to a craving, and tonight it seems to be that damn egg roll. See how I obsess? Screw it. I had a tough day too.
So now it is the end of the day and kids are watching the premiere of the new looney tunes. Gotta love how the old stuff comes back around.
Good night!

Day 9
Woke up early today. Cleaned up the house before work. Dusted, vacuumed, dishes. I think it was nervous energy about tomorrow. C has his surgery tomorrow. Very minor, but he does have to be put to sleep. I hate to watch that. I cry every time one of my kids gets put to sleep. It justs scares me. Anyway, he is having his ear tubes removed and the underneath of his tongue clipped. Poor kid. But the thing under his tongue connects to the tip so it pulls back and it looks like his tonge is heart shaped. Kinda cute but not so good as he grows. This will improve tongue mobility and possibly speech. Although I think he talks perfectly fine for a kid that is not even 5. (hold on..got a 7 y rold reading to me...)
So my day was good but long. Not a lot of patience and in my job either you have the patience or you fake it. Not much room for leeway there. So now I am home and having the urge to gorge myself on Easter candy, so instead I am blogging. And listening to parts of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules being read out loud and laughing appropriately. Now I have to deal with bedtime. How I miss those little candy shelled covered chocolate eggs.
Breakfast: waffle and banana
Lunch: spanish rice (thank you M!! it was delicious, as always! <3)
Dinner: fresh trout, peas, pasta with herbs
Snack: skinny cow (yet to come)
So now I say good night. And please send some good vibes for my C!

Week 2
So it is the start of week 2. Not a bad day. Gorgeous weather. Kids played outside all morning. After lunch hubby took the kids fishing while I took pictures. That was a lot of fun. Actually got my first sunburn of the season. Very happy about that.
Going through something personal that is making me stress and want to eat. But I am overcoming the temptations. The zero points for fruit is what is saving me. Must have eaten half a container of grapes today alone. But it's better than candy.
Oh, I lost 3.8 pounds since Easter. Not bad for my first week. I am proud of the way I have been in control of my eating. Not an easy feat!
Breakfast: waffles and banana
Lunch: pasta w/pesto sauce
Dinner: steak, instant mashed potato, mexican corn
Snack: grapes, light yogurt, strawberries, skinny cow ice cream
The snacks are throughout the day. I don't want everyone thinking I eat all that at once. Although I probably can! I'm off to bed early tonight and I have a headache so I'm not writing much.

Day 7
My first week is done! I have survived! Didn't die of starvation. I'm actually craving fruit instead of sweets. Although chocolate still whispers sweet nothings in my ear. But I am really good at playing hard to get, so I am winning so far.
Today was a nice day. C had his first real friend from school playdate. So cute to see two preschoolers running and hugging all excited about playing at the park. We walked there too so I got in a little exercise. Other than the park I really didn't get much accomplished. Surprise surprise. That's ok. There's alway tomorrow. So on to the food for the day.
Breakfast: pancakes and syrup
Lunch: Chicken nugs and a dinner roll
Dinner: Ham, rice and an egg roll
Snack: banana, strawberries with sugar, grapes with yogurt and a skinny cow ice cream so to come
I also had a small bite of chocolate. And I know I had a lot of food today, even some not so good for you stuff. But hey, I have the weekly points to use. A new week starts tomorrow so I might as well use them. Crazy to do it right before WI but oh well. At least I'm pigging out on mostly fruit lately. Looking forward to WI. So all in all I had a very good start to my new lifestyle. Change is hard. But it can also be a very good thing.

Day 6
Today was a good day. Work went by fast and the kids were as well behaved as a bunch of 5 & 6 yr olds can be. I work in a kindergarten room at the moment. Filling a position as a paraprofessional. I was hired last year as a breakfast/lunch/recess aid but I guess with the budget cuts the board wouldn't pay for a certified para. But I am grateful for the position and absolutely love working with the kids!
So with my day going fast, I didn't have much time to think about food or how hungry I was. Idle time is a huge problem. So I have been trying to fill some of my time with cleaning the house. Six people living in a 3 bedroom makes for much messiness! And I am so stressed from all the clutter and mess that I just want to eat more. So I clean. Not a bad thing, I guess. Not a fun thing either! If anyone knows anything about me, it's that I love to be lazy when I am home. I am not a lazy person. Always on the go between work, kids, school functions, governance council, cub scouts. (Did I forget anything?) But when I am home, I just want to relax. And eat and eat and eat....
Now I am home and am so very tired. House is done enough. Will do more tomorrow. But now I'm hungry again. Dinner just doesn't last long enough in my belly. And I'm out of fruit. So now I have to try to figure out what I can eat without going over my DP. Still haven't touched my WP tho. So I'm not too worried. On to what my food for the day was.
Breakfast: waffles and 1/2 a banana
Lunch: leftover shephard's pie ( no one else eats leftovers so I do, makes for good lunches at work)
Dinner: breaded pork chop with rice pilaf and green beans
Snack: don't know yet, but something good
So now you know a little more about me. More will come. Be forewarned tho. To know me is to love me!

Day 5
I feel fat today. Well, fatter than usual. My stomach feels bloated and looks bigger to me. I've been real strict with my eating habits and haven't even used any weekly points, athough I might tonight. But then I think to myself "self, you already feel fat. Why eat and feel even worse?" Then I want to eat more. Sigh... the never ending internal conflict.
But tomorrow is a new day. I am looking forward to my weigh in day, which is Sunday. I weigh myself every morning. I know it's bad and you are not supposed to do that on WW but screw it! I work hard at not pigging out and I like immediate results. But I'm looking forward to WI because I want to have physical (well, virtual) proof that I'm shrinking. The upside to all this is that soon I will have to go shopping for new clothes. A girl can always use new clothes! So on to today's food.
Breakfast: waffles and banana
Lunch: leftover shephard's pie
Dinner: chinese steamed seafood platter w/sweet & sour sauce
Snack: grapes
I bought a new NinjaPro blender to make smoothies and I haven't yet made one I like. But it is awesome to make the kids their snocones! So I eat the same breakfast because I am not a big breakfast food person (unless someone else is cooking) and I like the mix of the waffles and banana together.
So I said before that I would start more blogging on my personal life. So here is a little about me. I am a wife of 15 years. We have been married for 9 years but we considered ourselves married for much longer. We have to beautiful boys. B is almost 8 and C is almost 5. I have a wonderful BFF that takes very good care of me (xoxoxoxo) and my husband's sister and her 2 year old son, T, lives with us.
That is all for tonight. I will give more insight into my life as I continue blogging. I forgot how theraputic writing can be.

Day 4
So it's Wednesday. Hump day. Halfway done. Feels like it should be Friday already. But that's the way it goes sometimes. The weather is making it harder to be in work tho. Want to be outdoors in all this Spring! My eating habits are still ok. Staying within my points range. Need to buy more fruit.
Breakfast: waffle & banana
Lunch: leftover cheese ravioli with margarine and olive oil
Dinner: shephard's pie
Snack: grapes
Not a whole lot of food going on. Need to go shopping so I can start making more lowfat dinners so I can have my much loved snacks. I feel like I am missing an old friend. Goodbye chocolate cake and brownies and ice cream and Easter candy and.....well you get the idea.
So the day ends. Well, soon anyway. Haven't had those grapes yet.

Day 3
Another good day. I'm pretty motivated at the moment. Last time I tried this, I really didn't care one way or the other if I lost weight. Now I really want to lose again. Anyway, my new lifestyle is off to a good start!
Breakfast: waffles and banana (really liking that)
Lunch: last night's leftovers (yes, the same chicken that poisoned everyone else!)
Dinner: cheese ravioli with margarine and olive oil
Snack: Cameron and I shared sliced strawberries with a little bit of sugar and a banana
I'm hungry. I have to plan my next grocery shopping trip. Right now I'm using what I have in the house (why waste it?) so it's all high in points. I want to find some good fish recipes and start trying different types of fish. I want to start cooking more instead of letting Kim do it all. Going to try different recipes from WW. There are so many that look very yummy!
So another food day come and gone. A lot more happened in between meals. I'm really not that obsessed with food. Well, a little bit I am or I wouldn't have to be on WW to begin with. But I do have somewhat of a life. Maybe I will tell you about it sometime. Expand my blog.

Day 2
Today has been a good day. Very long tho. First day back to work after spring break. Good thing I love my job. Working with kids is very entertaining. Also very tiring. Thank goodness for happy pills.
So for anyone who is interested, I am probably going to post what I eat. And for anyone that doesn't care, well this is about my WW journey so what did you expect?
I had frozen waffles and a banana for breakfast. And anyone who knows me knows I like stuff like cold pizza or leftover cold chicken for breakfast. Tastes better that way, all that congealed grease.
Lunch was leftover mashed potatoes and pieces of ham. Love that stuff so it was worth the points. I did manage to stay away from cake and toasted marshmellows in the teacher's room. Oh, and my kids' candy (so far).
Dinner was shake & bake chicken. Very low on points. My sister in law got food poisoning from it. Only her tho. I feel bad. Sorry Kim!!
I had about 8 points leftover and I actually couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat. I mean the cake looked good and candy is always good but I wanted something healthier and more substantial. So I was able to have half a bagel with margarine and peanut butter. Hey, I have to make do with what I have. It takes a while to change over your lifestyle.
So that was my food day. Already have most of tomorrow planned. I have a long day ahead of me, but I will try to post again tomorrow.
Good Night!

Easter Day
This is my very first blog. I'm hoping to be able to write daily so I can keep motivated to lose weight. I decided a while ago to try weight watchers again. I finally had the money to be able to pay for it so I did. Figures it would be a holiday weekend. Just my luck.
Today was my first official day back on weight watchers. This is my 3rd time. I am hoping it will be my last. Lifestyle change, right? I would like to lose about 50 lbs. But first I am focusing on the little goals.
It went well today. I stayed within my daily points. Measured all my food and was even full after dinner with the family. But now is the hard part. I am getting hungry again and it is almost bed time. Worst time of night for me. I always want to snack. On junk. I feel like I have a kid's sweet tooth. I can never get enough. But I have to have self discipline. It is so hard. Especially when I am used to over indulging. But at least now I can eat all the fruit I want. Discovered how good they are with some low-fat vanilla yogurt. Almost as good as ice cream. Almost. So I'm feeling pretty good about today. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as good for me. Already have my meals planned and points added up. Now if I can only stay away from the Easter candy....
