Wii Fit

We got a wii fit and it is kicking my butt. I am so sore from all the hula hooping and balance games I have been playing. I lost only .75 lbs. but that is better that gaining so I am not complaining. I know if I actually took the time to write it down I would have a better idea. Like I was doing. Its hard if you don't write it all down.

Raging hormones

I am having very bad PMS. I've felt like biting everyone's head off for the past two days. I am trying to get ready for a garage sell this weekend. I have been eating poorly- Yesterday I had a egg sandwich for breakfast 2 granola bars a fruit cup, for lunch some chicken and noodles with pesto sauce and peas. For dinner I had spaghetti and a roll with butter. I also had some cheese with salami and crackers for a snack.

I am at least being honest

I ate hashbrowns, fried crisp with 2 slices of bacon, one egg and one piece of whole wheat toast with butter salt and pepper for breakfast- drank 2 cups of coffee with that hydrogenated cream I keep saying I need to get away from. I ate a bag of caramel bugels and that put me way over what my caloric intake should have been. I really screwed up going by MCd's for dinner with a Thursday 2 quarter pounders with cheese deal. So yeah.... I also ate some biscottie 2 pieces with a cup of soy milk and a popcicle.The only exercise I got was waxing the toyota- I spent about two and a half hours on it and it still needs more work.

I feel ashamed

I have let myself down. In the past two weeks I have only been to the Y once. I have only walked the dogs twice and I have gained 5 pounds. I was really loosing more weight when I wrote down what I was eating. So its time to force myself back to basics again.

I STINK LIKE GARLIC

I have a confession- last night I had Garlic chicken pizza for dinner and being the garlic lover that I am, I asked for lots of garlic. My husband said I smell so bad that his eyes are watering. OH poor guy. I know I stink but I love me some good roasted garlic. I probably wont get any kisses for a week.
If you love garlic as much as I do and if you are trying to reduce the salt in your diet you must try Garlic Lovers Garlic spice from the spice man- a local favorite of mine! Check out their products at

Aimee Mann and Mark Cohn at the Halfshell

We went and saw a great concert last night. I ate corn dogs and a nectarine for breakfast this morning, missed my TOPS meeting because I had to wait for the washing machine repair guy to show up, had to pay him 70 dollars to tell me that my bearings are out and that I would be better off buying a new machine than trying to fix this old one. Here is a picture of my husband and I at the half shell concert last night!

Garden and Plant from mom

Here are some pictures of my garden, the beautiful glads that are blooming and the awesome plant my mother sent me.

July12-14

It was my 31 birthday- I feel like I still have not grown up. Steve got me a metal detector, I tried to find some treasure and ended up with rusty nails. Some day maybe I will find a real treasure. My mom sent me a beautiful plant. I will try to post a picture, along with a picture of my garden, its growing beautifully. My grandma sent a card that sings--if you are reading this grandma- thanks again, its so cute! I also got some water shoes and a gym bag- now I need to do my part and get back to the gym. Yesterday I did an hour on the treadmill, that was the first real exercise I have gotten in a while. I treated myself and got a massage for my birthday- it was the MOST WONDERFUL!!!

Summer

Summer is here! I love all the bounty that comes with this time of year- corn, strawberries, watermelon, honeydew, cherries, blueberries, peas. I went to the farm stand and bought plums and strawberries today. I still haven't quite gotten back into the swing of things but I am progressing my way towards it. Tomorrow is another TOPS meeting and I expect that I have gained again. Things will turn around!!!
