It's Tuesday! We have a Baby Boy!!
Congratulations! My son's oldest was 7lbs. 14 oz. and my son's daughter is named Avery, so we have something in common with regards to our grandchildren. . . Glad your daughter is doing ok, and looking forward to seeing pictures of "HAM" soon! Probably already have some posted on FB, but I was hanging with the littlest of my grandchildren today, so wasn't really looking at FB much. . . wishing you and the family the very best, hope lil Vinnie enjoys her baby brother.

PS, lost 3 lbs last week, making some tweaks and walking, walking and walking :)
Food today:
Breakfast: 1/2 of ww bagel with pat of butter and raspberry jam (an indulgence)
Snack was a piece of low fat sharp cheddar
Lunch was a very small piece of homemade lasagna, with about 2 ounces of chicken breast and asparagus
Snack was musselman's lite applesauce
Dinner, a piece of turkey meatloaf, half of a small sweet potato and a few pieces of asparagus.
Unsure of snack
I'm pooped, 9.5 month old's take a lot out of you, especially when they don't like napping :) I took two walks of 30+ minutes in duration, putting on over 11,000 steps. . . and while I am pooped I LOVED EVERY MINUTE I SPENT WITH JUNIPER TODAY!!!
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Congratulations, Carla and family!
After 30 hours with NO sleep, I went to bed at 9 pm last night and fell asleep immediately...hu8bby had broken down and bought a special tower fan for the bedroom...with five levels of open concept, our bedroom at the top does not get cool enough and , bad enough to have severe insomnia from my meds and then in a HIGH PAIN phase, but then I was sweating . JB gets up early and closes the bedroom door to keep it quiet and dark for me but he does not realize that the room heats up after a few hours. In my misery, yesterday morning, I vented (rare for me) and gave him four choices:
1. buy and install a ceiling fan
2. buy & install a window air conditioner
3. buy and install a ceiling fan
4. or be prepared to have his face ripped off with my teeth (yeah, I was a B****h)
I was so sick and uncomfortable and exhausted. I had three business meeting s and got home five hours later...went to bed at 9 pm and found a WONDERFUL TOWER FAN in the bedroom! I apologized profusely and told him how grateful I was for his actions...JB is not the kind to get mushy but I told him anyways.
I slept for FIFTEEN hours! solid!
Tuesday, I had our "end of the season" sorority dinner party to attend. I showed up in a long white eyelet skirt and a white & coral top that I bought in Naples, Florida...suddenly they all noticed that I had lost weight...okay, I confess that it felt really good that people noticed and fussed over me ..blushes hotly
We were at the MANDARIN Chinese Buffet. I focused on garlic shrimp, baked salmon, one egg roll, and lots of pea pods and asparagus. I took one tiny Creme brullee and some fresh pineapple and felt good about eating smartly. It's not easy when faced with this huge buffet but I had a plan before I even got there and stuck to it. I have come to learn that all of the enticing desserts that LOOK so delicious rarely ever taste as good as they look. That helps me avoid temptation.
Wednesday is my "solitude day"...okay, hubby is home but I refuse to go out at all except for my porch. I need rest time and can do some small mending tasks and maybe even read a book. I turned down all lunch requests and really feel the need to retreat.
I am actually heading to bed at 11 pm...but even if I do not sleep, I can lay there in the lovely cool breeze that now exists in our room upstairs.
