to open or not to open...that is the question

What a great weekend

Priya had a fantastic birthday. The party went off without a hitch and then kids ate everything. I made sandwiches, pizza rolls, cookies, veggies and cake. It was amazing.

I had a great birthday too - my parents gave me money so I bought myself one of those single coffee thingys that you put "coffee pods" in, I love it. Brian, Priya, Nevin and his folks will be buying me new winter boots. I say they will be buying as I haven't actually gone looking.

I did really well with my eating, until I tried the cheese cake that my mum made, and opened the box of Maltesers that were sent from England. Then everything went down the tube. We'll see how things work out on Wednesday.

Nevin and Priya are both sick and at home. I can feel myself coming down with something. Thank goodness we have a holiday on Wednesday. Okay I'm going to go and finish my lunch and try to make myself feel a little better.

Have a healthy day and keep reading.

Nothing

no loss, but no gain...so this is very frustrating...i have been up and down the same 1-2 pounds for over two months...after talking to my leader i am going to try something new and only eat my daily 20 points...well this saturday is my birthday and priya's party so i think i'll save my activity points and use them then...

i made priya's cake last night, it's a fat-free cake, i'm going to try a smidgen tonight to see how it turned out...i have to make the icing and do the base tonight...plus i want to run for an hour...since i'm home tomorrow then i can probably do the base icing in the morning and do the rest in the evening...

i've been listening to a great podcast called fat2fit radio, their basic idea is to eat like your goal weight...so you monitor your calories...which is nice to compare my calories in and my points...since i'm having a plateau issue i'm going to try and drop my calories to about 1200 (or 20 points) and see how that goes for a few weeks...my goal is 5 pounds by christmas..i'm one to that goal, so only 4 left....

i hope that everyone has a healthy day today

Going to be up

i'm having a very rough time....i did something to my hand a few weeks ago, which has caused swelling on the top and a lot of pain...i'm wearing my wrist brace and it's helping a bit - but it's difficult to do anything...so last night i was in a lot of pain and ate A LOT of chocolate...i can't believe how may little bags of peanut and regular halloween size m&m's i had..and the tiny twix bars...i kinda' felt sick after...but man it was a lot...so i know that i'm going to be up tomorrow - but since i'm fasting today maybe it will even out the over indulgence from yesterday.

i'm addicted to the timothy's pumpkin spice latte...mmmm....

have a healthy day

Happy Birthday Priya

I can't believe that she's 5 years old. 5 years!!!!! i remember seeing her for the first time and i knew that i would a girl. man do i love that kid. we have her birthday party on saturday at tiny hoppers. lots of high school musical stuff and kids...oh i have to call them and tell them about that we are still on for saturday...

i will be posting photos of halloween and priya tonight.

What little boys do

nevin has decided that his ears are good places to hide things such as rice kripies. i love little boys...

so i'm down one pound - which means:
7 pounds to goal
goodbye 150's - it was not nice knowing you
20 points daily

listening to fat2fit radio on my ipod really helps...i have it on during the day, and even though i'm working i have it playing in the background and some things stick in my brain...

today a friend is dropping by for lunch (with her 11 month old) so i'm buying my lunch - but will be getting salad from the salad bar...instead of getting the chicken i will go for the boiled egg as it'll be easier to know the points...

have a healthy day
