Good morning everyone! Yes, I did get my last dress rehearsal in for tonight's performance of TONGUE TWISTED. Thank goodness!

Trying not to let nerves get the best of my emotions and divert from the food plan.

B-two small hard boiled eggs, coffee with FF creamer

S-Dannon light Greek yogurt with apple slices

L-salad with Newman's dressing, 3 oz. beef taco meat,

S-strawberry protein drink blended with a large frozen banana

D-IDK, going out to the diner before the show

S-protein bar

My granddaughter was telling me about a play she was auditioning for that is all singing.  It sounded confusing to me but I'm happy that she is doing something that she loves. 

Sounds Good!

Happy Birthday to DGD and DGS!! 

Decided yesterday that I WILL be heading to FL on Sunday.  Driving cause when I was down there in Nov I bought some stuff too big to bring back on the plane - plus it gives me a good reason to go back ;)  but - I'm NOT looking forward to the drive BACK to Michigan - 20 hour drive - 2 day.  I have a cousin in Nashville that I will call and see if I can stop there for the night.  That's the part of long drives I don't like - when I can't do them in 1 day and have to stop for the night when I'm by myself, especially when my car is full of "stuff".  The drive from VA to FL will be 14 hours - long day but doable. I will stay a week and work from there.  Hopefully the weather will be nice.  Right now I'm seeing no rain and 60's... better than snow and ice.  Waiting for the bad weather to clear VA before heading out.  That's why I'm not leaving tomorrow. 

B - coffee x2

L - leftover steak and sauce

s - almonds

S - protein drink

D - leftover chicken (that should be about it for my leftovers!)

Vits:  yes

water:  doing ok. 

I think you are Amazing Jody!!!  I would so love to jump in the car and just go somewhere but I'd never be able to do it by myself and DH hates driving.  If we don't go by plane then we usually don't go at all.    BE SAFE!!!

Sounds like a good Protein day!

Hope the kids have a happy bday.

I had meetings all day and it was a cold rainy day, yuck. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
1/2 low carb pita, pork roast
lemon tea protein  13g
burger patty, mushrooms, greens
lemon tea protein  13g
almonds, grapefruit
chicken, butternut squash, roll
2 cookies, ugh
protein shake, maybe

The kids were spoiled as usual.  Our 4 yr. old DGD is soooo hysterical.  After every single gift she opened she squealed and looked at whoever bought it for her and screamed it's exactly what I wanted.  The 2 yr. old didn't know what to make of it all but he knew he was suppose to blow out the candles after every one quit singing.  There was probably spit all over the cake...LOL.

I'm sure you worked off those 2 cookies.  Sounds like a Good Day!
