Congratulations to the girls and your DD!  I'm sure the other teams groan when they see them coming!

Weekend was lazy.  Which is good once in awhile.  I'm in VA and trying to coordinate my bathroom remodel in MI from here, so we'll see how that works out.  Better to do it while I'm not there....

I did get on the scale today.  I've been avoiding it, which isn't healthy.  I was surprised I was down about 2 lbs from weighing in MI and the scales are pretty closely calibrated.  I've been eating ok and have cut down the adult beverages.  My son is getting married in May - I still need to lose 10 lbs (same 10 I've been wanting to lose  now for a year!)

B - coffee w/cream and splenda (just doen't taste as good)

L - home made spaghetti sauce (lots of meat and veggies) over nothing... with parmesan cheese

S - a few sf pickle slices

S - a few almonds (need my salt fix)

D - I have a few leftovers.  I made my baked pork chops last night - yum!  Use pork rinds for the breading w/egg and cream.  The flavor is 1/2 a packet of dry ranch dressing to the pork rinds.  I also added a little italion seasoning this time.  This breading also works great on chicken, fish, etc.  I don't like pork rinds by themselves, but crushed and as a breading - they are awesome!

Water:  doing ok

YES they definitely GROAN!!  Pittsburgh has quite a few All-Star gyms and we are pretty much hated by most of them. Mainly because they have lost girls to us.

I wish I could do some remodeling!!  We are hoping to get a new back deck/porch this summer and the next thing is carpeting and living room furniture.

Congrats on the scale!!! How exciting...I love May Weddings. Is it in TX?  That's a Great reason to get serious about losing the 10 pounds. Was your DD's wedding before WLS?  All 3 of our girls were and I had to wear tents to all of them...LOL.  When our DD got remarried last summer getting a dress was the most exciting part for me personally.  It wasn't fancy but I felt great in it.  I always dreamed of getting a "little" black dress someday.  I wasn't ashamed of getting my picture taken either.

Sounds Wonderful Jody!!!

How wonderful for you and the girls!!!! There is a cheer team that is starting practice when I go into muscle pump and they just amaze me.  Ah to be young and fit again. 

Its been warmer here but grey and wet all day.  I've gotten a lot done so I guess it's ok.  Muscle pump tonight.

Going back to ultra low carb to get some of these pounds off.  I hate the idea of dieting but I did get some grapefruit to have one a day and the turkey soup is all no/very low carb veggies and turkey. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggbeaters, spinach, cheese
lemon tea protein  13g
turkey soup
lemon tea protein  13g
pork meatballs, brocalli
protein shake  33g

Are they All-Star?  I might know them if they are.  How's your behind been feeling?

I try really hard to now think of it as a diet.  I think when you normally eat crazy and decide to lose weight you go on a diet. When I eat crazy I am splurging so then I have to get back to eating normal.  Does that make sense....LOL?

Sounds Good Price!!!
