o.6lbs heavier this week. Not surprising considering my run yesterday was rained out. We were ready to go in the misty rain but as soon as we were ready to go...down pour! So what did we do instead? Had a couple of drinks of course!
I'm not worried. I think I'm happy with my weight. Notice the "think". I seem to be able to maintain here without trying too hard and that's important. Those are my thoughts today. They may change tomorrow. I'd like to be under 152 so I need to make sure I behave this week and knock off a bit.
Good luck to Jen!! And happy long weekend to her!

Allergies...where did you come from???
I have never had to know the suckiness of allergies...until this year!! What is up with that? I have never been allergic to anything and probably have often told other people to suck it up. How bad can it be? Well, I'm here to say...I'm not a fan! Whatever is floating around in the air making my head feel like it's going to explode - GO AWAY! OK, I feel better just sayin' that!
This weekend was fun. Not sure that I did so great on the food front all weekend but that seems to be how my life works. Little P loved his battery operated tractor from us! He just has to get used to driving it! Too funny!
I ran today after work. Just a little 5K but it felt hard. Note to self - head exploding = bad running day!
Food:
B- toast with PB and J (4)
L- hummus sandwich (3), cottage cheese (1), yogurt (1), raspberries (0)
S- melbas with hummus (3)
D- BBQ'd veggie dog (1) on a bun (2) with peas (1) and a cuke/tomato/pepper/shaved parmesan salad (2) with balsamic dressing (1)
I have a tasty new recipe to try but wasn't feeling like the work tonight so I'm aiming for that tomorrow!! Have I mentioned I love BBQ season?? Oh and have I mentioned my head may explode?!?!

Where have I been?
That's a good question!! I baby sat Little P on Sat/Sun. Went to my parents on Sun/Mon. Worked Tuesday and then swam with Little P at his lessons as Daddy couldn't go. Then went for a run afterwards, then went to J's ball game. Worked again on Wednesday and had to work OT until 630. Then had a seminar at 7pm. Home at 930...in bed by 10! Worked on Thursday, then ran after work, then made dinner. Didn't eat until 7pm. Then chatted with my mom about P's bday that we're celebrating on Sat!!
What was my food like? I cannot even recall! I do know that I didn't really eat much on Wed. cause I didn't have time! You know you're busy when you don't have time to eat! This is especially true for me...I ALWAYS have time to eat :)
Good thing about being busy?
You lose weight without trying!
I'm down 0.6lbs. Not much but due to the fact that I haven't counted points for a week...I'm happy.
Here's hoping for some downtime this week!

Blah!
That about sums up my week. I've felt like crap for most of the week. I've given in to food cravings (especially when coming home from work...I was starving this week). I've been tired. I haven't wanted to make dinner. And points?? What are those?
What do you get for all that? GAIN of 2 lbs.
Yuck. Why do I do this to myself? Has this gain made me change my ways today? I'll give you one guess...

From bad to worse!
Yes, I had MORE issues today! Medium pizzas were $3.99 @ Pizza Nova today. I had 3 pieces for lunch. How dare my coworker take advantage of my biggest weakness??? I love pizza, what can I say? The right answer to that is NO!!!
So anyway, I'm not so sure about the scale this week :(
No run today but I did manage a 30 min. walk with Cooper.
Food:
B- toast with PB & J (2), yogurt (1)
L- 3 pieces of pizza (10?), fruit cup (1)
D- Egg salad sandwich (5), sugar snap peas (1), veggies and dip (1)
J's first ball game of the season is tonight @ 9pm. I think I'll watch the start of BL before I go and the end when I get home. I can't believe that it's 3 freakin' hours long!
GO MIKE!!!

Not a good girl :(
This was NOT a good eating weekend!! Easter rules did not apply and they should have. I cannot even estimate how many points I ate.
Sunday was likely the worst...let me list a few things: cheese and crackers, lots of full fat tortilla chips and buffalo "chicken" dip, caesar salad, not one but TWO pieces of strawberry glazed pie and one small sliver of lemon meringue pie. OUT of control, I tell you. As Jen has said, the scale is punishing me big time.
Hopefully I have enough time to recover from this. We shall see.
Today has been better. 7K run certainly helped.
Food today:
B- toast and PB and J (3)
L- veggie sandwich (3), cottage cheese (1), cup of soup (1), fruit cup (1)
S- pita chip crumbs (2?)
D- veggie burger (5), tomato soup (3), veggies and dip (1)
That's it for a Monday!

Blogger found...what's the reward??
I found myself...sorry Jen!
It's been super busy around here lately. I've been trying to get my house in better order due to hosting a work event tonight. It will be the first time some work friends get to see the place!
Also, I've been helping paint Little P's new bedroom! It looks awesome. He's going to have the coolest 2 year old's bedroom around!
Then, hair night was on Tuesday evening. I left right after work to get to Port Perry in time and then L and I went for dinner afterwards.
And we've run 4 evenings this week which also cuts into my blogging time! I feel like I've hardly sat down in the evening all week!
Anyway, on the weight loss front...I lost 1.2lbs this week. This sort of amazes me as I've been having a hungry week! I am more than happy to take it though!
This coming week looks to be crazy as well. Work event tonight, b-day dinner on Friday, taking J's mom out for breakfast on Saturday for Mom's day, going to the cottage Sat. for the delivery of the new boat and staying over there and then Mom's day for my Mom on the Sunday! Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it!
Anyway, that's your update.
I will try to be back to "normal" on Monday!
Happy Weekend!
