Half Way Day!!!!!!!

WooHoo!!!!  Tomorrow is my last work day.  Friday is a holiday for VA State Employees.  I am so excited as then we get Monday too so it will be a 4 day weekend.  Surprisingly enough the girlies ditched us for the basketball game last night, the bil ditched us to go see his grandbaby so it was a quiet evening with the hubby.  We brought home some carryout, took the dog for a walk, then relaxed & watched tv.  Probably will be much of the same tonight.  The puppy was up at 3:30 this a.m. & didn't want to go back to sleep so I moved to the living room with him, needless to say I am exhausted & will be in bed early tonight.

MIchelle, sounds like you are doing pretty good with those baby steps.  I am doing a lot of the same here.  Definitely need better breakfast ideas as my mini bagels & yogurt are getting super boring.  Been using fruits and veggies as my snack options (sliced yellow & orange peppers, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, celery).  You may need to keep your snacks in your schedule, with the long days that you pull you will need the fuel to keep your body going.   I lost 6 lbs the week I was sick, gained 2 back & lost 1 so far.  Will see how well I keep it up.  Definitely ready for spring and warmer weather to utilize.  Sorry to keep repeating that but I am so not used to the bitter cold we have been having.  Have a great day!!

OK, I will brag...... I have lost 13 pounds over the last year.  YAY, me!!!! 
My fear?  Yup, you gussed it, That it will find me
At least the wind has mostly subsisded.  We had wind up to 50MPH, and then we had gusts on top of that, up to 80MPH.  Did alot of damage.


Have a GREAT day!!!!

Wow it's 8:30pm and I'm just getting around to checking in.   Had a busy but not bad day.   I worked 5 hrs this morning then took off with Sadie for the day.   We went to have lunch with daddy and then headed out to the mall.   We had a great time and found some really good deals.   She now has everything she needs to be a beatiful princess for the wedding we're going to in 2 wks.  I also found myself a nice top to wear to it.   Sadie had dance class this afternoon and is getting really excited about her recital in May now.   She got her costume today and absolutely loves it.   I'll have to get DH to upload pics so I can post one.  Only problem is it barely fits now and recital isn't til May so they're going to have to exchange it.  At least we have plenty of time.   Oh yes and I finished out my day tonight so I worked a full 8 hrs today.

I sure hope you are getting some good sleep tonight Court....good thing puppies are cute.   Jamie, keep warm up there.   It was about 30 here today...a heatwave!!!   It's supposed to be that warm this weekend too so we're going to try to do some sledding with Sadie.  DH is going to the Vikings playoff game Sun so maybe Sadie and I will do some ice skating who knows. 

My diet is on the upswing that's for sure.   I really need to concentrate on more exercise though.   I think that'll be my goal next week.  I've done really well last week and so far this week.   Sadie had a treat at the store today and I wanted one soooo bad but decided to get beef jerky instead.   I did drink a soda but it's the first one in like 2 wks so I won't beat myself up.   Just so I don't do it again for a while.  

Well, I'm headed out to bed.... talk to you all tomorrow!
