Happy Sunday morning LW's!!!!    Sorry I left you all stranded yesterday!  Between last minute wedding stuff with DD and Cleaning over 60 years of junk from my Mom's apartment my day was super busy.  I had a protein drink for breakfast and a once serving bag of jerky around noon. At around 8:00 last night we stopped and got a sandwich and I could barely eat it.  You would have thought I would have been starving but I wasn't.  In fact I got filled really quickly.  Then I had my night time popcorn.

Two weeks until my DD#2 gets married!!  I'm Praying this is the right Guy!  They have been dating about a year and he seems like the Godly man she has been looking for and dreaming about.

**Inspired by this recipe here http://civilizedcavemancooking.com/grain-free-goodies/paleo- banana-bread/, but I've modified the ingredients and cooking method as I used what I had at home and I couldn't be bothered to switch the oven on, so I cooked it by filling half a cup and gave it 50 seconds in 1,000 watt microwave.

2 bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons melted butter (I put mine in the mixing bowl and heated the whole bowl in the microwave to melt it!!)
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (coulda done a whole scoop, but I was experimenting)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

I am excited! She has been divorced 7 years and her boyfriend has been divorced 12 years.  I think they are both ready to be married again. I'm hoping it doesn't rain so we can do some outside pictures.  I definitely need a new family picture.  I had to put all of the family ones away because her EX was in them.

2 whole bananas in one serving?

Sounds Good!

It makes 4 mugs, so 1/2 banana per serving.

Hi Roz,

Where did you move your mom too?  Hope she is ok.  Sounds like you had a really busy day yesterday.  Congratulations to DD#2.  I got to babysit my little grandbaby yesterday morning.  He is so sweet - he is just cooing and smiling now.  I didn't eat lunch until around 2 yesterday, but boy after lunch it was all down hill and I had a really bad eating day.

Actually we didn't move her we just cleaned.  We are going through a program called Life that will help us keep her in her own home. My brother had bought her house a long time ago and she has an apartment above his garage.  My sister and I took Wed. off of work and did her kitchen, bathroom and living room and she was fighting mad. I found a huge container of rotten cole slaw under some bags and she had can goods in her cupboard from 2006!   Saturday we did her bedroom and there were boxes and boxes of pictures so we got her looking at those and she stayed calm.  Hopefully she likes it clean and now  the Life people will come in and clean it every week  We need to fix the bathroom up with hand rails and we are looking into a stand up shower. 

I love babysitting! I haven't looked at facebook much lately (hooked on candy crush...lol).  Do you have new pictures up?  How old is he now? Our little 18 month old just lights up when he sees us and boy is he a hugger.  You have to watch his kisses though because he thinks biting is a part of loving....LOL. 

I've been tasting things more lately and I need to stop!   I've been wearing the same dress pants the last few years and I sure hope they button up when cooler weather comes.  The scales are still in a good range but my tummy feels different.

That sounds like a great program.  My mom loves to collect things - she has so much fabric - just little scraps because she can't throw anything away.  It drives my dad crazy so she hides it everywhere all over the house.  She had the freezer filled with things and they wanted to use it this summer to put up things instead of canning everything, but she had to get all the junk out first...

I have not put any new pictures on.  I am hooked on Candy Crush too, but I didn't even get to play that much this weekend because I needed to get a lot of work done for work so I could breath again at work.  I have to travel tomorrow so I will stop by their house and see them both again for a little bit on my way home.

My clothes had gotten tight, but it goes away if I will stay away from the carbs for a few days.  I do a lot better during the week when I am at work and busy.
