Happy Tuesday! And a very happy 11th birthday to my baby boy! I'm not sure how I'm old enough to have a "tweener", but I'll take it. He is the light of my life and I'm so blessed. All dress skirt challenge: black/cream/red geometric print flounce skirt with a black 3/4 sleeve cardigan that I'm wearing as a shirt. It's a little low cut for the office, but IDGAF. I look fierce.

So, full confession here. I haven't stepped on the scale in a while and I bit the bullet this morning and weighed in. I'm up 5 lbs. from my lowest recorded weight back in Feb. This is no bueno. So, I'm putting it out there right now: I am refocusing my efforts. No more random grazing as I cook dinner. No more "I'll just have a couple of fries". No more. Complacency is not pretty and I am accounting for my (in)actions. Today is a new day! Huzzah!

QOTD! So, I have two today. Since some of you haven't read the Harry Potter series (WTH?!), I'll ask this: tell me about your pets. For those of you who've experienced the awesomeness that is HP, what house would you be in? Ahem: right now we have a beagle named Bagel. LOL He is a fatty, but I love him so. I'm really a cat person, and would love to have a couple/few, but Matt is "allergic". mmm-hmm. I'm dubious. LOL As for HP, I would be in Hufflepuff if I had my choice. It's the sleeper house; the underdog! Per Pottermore, "Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play.". Yes, please. And do not judge me for frequenting Pottermore. LOL

Time since surgery: 23+ months

B: slice of honey 7 grain toast spread with a wedge of LC and a HB egg

S: Bumble Bee sensations spicy Thai chili tuna pouch

L: shrimp with a redneck remoulade sauce I threw together this morning, 34 degree crackers and a Cabot reduced fat cheddar cheese stick

D: big ol' salad with cucumbers, grape tomatoes, shredded cheddar, roasted chicken breast and avocado cilantro dressing

TOTALS: Cals: 848 Protein: 83 Carbs: 57 Fat: 30

Dear God, give me the strength to stick to this meh menu, to not graze or eat the donuts that are sitting out in the work kitchen, to not have a vodka soda after dinner and to otherwise make good choices today. Amen. LOL

Kristen, your posts always make me laugh. I had to think about IDGAF--got it. I haven't read Harry Potter (ashamed face here), guess I will have to add it to my reading list. I LOVE to read. Got up at the crack of dawn to go to 5am hot yoga this morning, I hate it and I like it...seems like a good mix. Last night we went to my parents and pulled weeds out of our shared garden for about 2 hours, am feeling pretty optimistic since I couldn't do that last year without passing out!

QOTD: We have a ****zu baby girl named Sophie. I think she was the runt of the litter, because she's about 5 pounds, mostly fluff. She's adorable. She hates to poop outside though so I randomly find little piles of poop under my bed, in my closet. She's lucky I love her and she's tiny is all I know. We also have a black cat named Zeus, and my son is trying to convince us to adopt his girlfriend's German Shepherd pup (her Dad doesn't like it) also. J will have to install the underground fence we've had in our basement for a decade if we go that route. She's a big dog.

B- premier protein shake

L- other part of my qdoba naked burrito bowl from yest (no rice)

D- 1/3 c chicken salad

S- cheddar cheese stick

S- triple zero yogurt

Totals: Cals-752; protein-71; carbs-45; fat-28

E- 90 min yoga

Consult Weight:276/Surgery Day Weight: 241.6 /Goal Weight: 150

Hey Gang, I was out yesterday with a sick Elliot. I had to bring him to Urgent Care on Sunday because he was having trouble breathing. We have suspected he has allergies for a while, but I guess maybe we need to add asthma to that list! They gave him a neb treatment and it helped him breath better for a little bit. But I am trying to get him into the pediatrician before we leave for Maine on Friday. ugh ugh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your big kid!!!

QOTD: I would like to say I am a Gryffindor, but I would probably be a Hufflepuff. As far as pets, we have 2 rats and 2 fish. Hubby is allergic to cats and dogs. And to be honest, I have enough little humans to keep alive, I dont think I could handle a dog or cat! lol

I am UP 8.2 lbs right now from goal, this weekend was once again a carb fest. GGRRRR I know its not all real weight, but still, it needs to GO AWAY before we leave for vacation. blah
