Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

It not only Friday it's a long weekend....YEAH!!!  I'm soooo ready for this!!!  Do you have plans?  If in involves food try to make the best choices you can....don't use the "its the last picnic of the summer" or those winter clothes might not fit....LOL.  

DD#2 is having a picnic on Monday at her new house so everyone can see it.  She is beaming with Happiness.  I got home from work and I was amazed because my house looked so nice....she did a great job moving all of their stuff out and cleaning everything.

It felt like a long week even though it was only a 4 day one and the traffic was good as the kids are still off.  Despite all that, I fell asleep on the couch at 5pm - I only had about 20 minutes, but really??  The cat below looks how I feel!! 

I've felt bad all day.  I misplaced my new hearing aid last night and all I could think about was spending that much money and losing it the first day.  I found it this morning but slept horribly and was achey all over.  I did make it to yoga and I guess I needed to stretch.  Better now but still tired.  I need a weekend.  The guys came back from their trip so my peace and quiet is over.  But I leave Wednesday for my break so I can make it that long.

decaf protein coffee  33g
pork pattie, low carb pita (couldn't eat it, at half the pita toasted)
lemon tea protein  13g
insides of a roast beef sandwich, salad, tiny brownie
lemon tea protein  13g
spoon of low fat peanutbutter
chicken, corn/bean/salsa casserole
protein shake  23g

On top of feeling sore all over, I have been cold and under a throw all afternoon.  I refuse to be sick.

We'll likely have a cookout with the kids and grandbabies.  Hubby says he wants steak!

Is son#2 paying you a visit going to join in the fun?  Do you have a stand up computer table?  One of the girls at work wanted one and I couldn't believe the Director spent money to get her one.  She used it about an hour and sat down in the new office chair he also bought her (she did need that). I'm guessing they are taking it back.  I requested a 4 color pen and he got me a 4 pack and I was thrilled. 

I've been having trouble getting any tender steaks.  I think I'm going to switch meat markets.  I think all the competition between stores is ruining the quality of the food.

Sounds Good Gina!
