Look Out Below!!! Four More Comin’ Down!

Yep…weigh in this morning showed 225…down four from Wednesday’s weigh in. Whoop Whoop! I am so so so soooooooo thankful to have you guys! You give me strength and encouragement to fight through this. THANK YOU!

Yesterday was a pretty good day over all. I did end up picking up my 12 y/o (Sam) from school at 1. He was in his second home…the health room but did the nurse did say his throat was red, so I brought him home. I was going to spend a little quiet time and start reading a book someone sent me from another support site I use for this divorce thing. Don’t want to read it around them…I don’t want to put their Dad down in any way. I will be honest with my beliefs when questions come up…but not to bash their Dad. After dinner last night, my 14 y/o (Zach) and I played Badminton for about an hour…Hey I know it sounds like a sissy game but I sweated. We were goofy and played a Ninja/Karate version of it too. It was fun. We watched Bolt the other weekend and I LOVED it…we still keep quoting lines from the movie and laughing about it. Yes I am a grown woman but I love movies like that!

I don’t know what the deal is with my internet but it worked fine in the AM and then come afternoon I cant get on or its going so slow you cant load anything. Its Satellite…it sucks! I have a feeling its going to happen again today because its going to be hot and sunny. Makes no sense to me…usually it goes out with cloud coverage or heavy wind or rain…so now SUN is apparently a problem…go figure!

I did go a bit bonkers on the rice with dinner last night. I made gravy (just a package kind that’s fat free and really not bad calorie wise) but it reminded me of dinners growing up…my Mom was “da bomb”…always a meat, potato or rice, salad or veggies…ya know, the complete meal…Beaver Cleaver style. Any way I will list it all…so here is my food journal for Friday.

    FOUR POUNDS DOWN!??!? yay!! so happy for you! :) well done!
    I love badmintion, i used to play a lot when I was younger and it is alot tougher than it looks, it’s a good workout!
    Food intake sounds great, I just had 385 cals worth of rice with my lunch, it’ll keep me feeling fuller longer and if it’s included in the day intake then no problem!
    Glad things are going well :)

    Thanks Maria :)
    I loved badminton as a kid too and am always happy when anyone wants to play it. I loved volleyball but it put a beating on my arms.

    Oh girl–yeah baby!! Whoo hooo! I’m so excited for you! That’s a big drop girl! 4 lbs Wow!
    As for reading the book and not wanting to bash their father, that’s a very mature response. I always hate to see the kids hurt when the parents do that to each other, after all, they still love both parents. Very proud of you for that!
    That sounds like fun!! Playing games with the kids. I hope you have a great weekend girl!
    love ya girl!!

    Oh and have you ever tried Quinoa? I use it instead of rice or when I just want to eat it. It is so good and it’s one of the superfoods very healthy for you high in protein and all that jazz.

    Congrats, keep it up!!
