New 21 Day Weigh In

Down 4 pounds! The next 3 week interval ends the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I'll be in Houston, so I'm hoping for at least 2 down, but I'll be happy with even one. That would be one more pound of weight removed from my body. =)

So far,
breakfast: coffee w/ creamer, sausage McGriddle from Mickey D's. <--- not very good at all, but Nana brought one for me and B each, so we ate them together.

I find it absolutely impossible to be in bad mood around B. 6 year olds are so innocently beautiful. I love him so much!

So I went from 126 down to 122. I have been eating anything that I want to lately as well. Some days aren't so healthy, and others all I want are fruits and veggies. I think that is the way it is supposed to be. I do not feel deprived in the least, and the habit is definately starting to sink in.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll post the rest of the weekend on Monday.

Pow Pow Pow Pow!

Cancer everywhere!!!!! Visited Gran in the hospital today. Those were the best 2o minutes I've had in a long time. She really is the Grandmother I never had. Every time I see her she tells me how she prayed for me to come into their lives. I love her so much!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY! Woot!

Mental Health Day

Took a mental health day today. I greatly needed it. It was very productive. I organized today, literally as well as mentally. I'm not sure which was needed more... I paid bills, did homework, planned, cleaned out the back of my car (loose papers everywhere!), and munched on good greasy food today. No sweets though!

breakfast: the usual
lunch: all beef hotdog with ketchup and relish, baked cheetos and tortilla chips w/ salsa
dinner: chili's cheeseburger and fries w/ ketchup

ok, so not the healthiest. But... I did resist sweets, and that was tough today!

I also went to GreenLife today, our small town "Whole Foods". Picked up a canister of oat bran, a jar of pumpkin butter, some garlic pecan whole grain pilaf, and some Kashi vive cereal.

I think I'm going to treat myself to some good Greek yogurt with honey this weekend and some yummy flavored seltzers. I also want to pick up some wheatberries to try them out.

That's it for now. Going to be a long 8 days coming up, then a bit of relaxation. But not too much =)
