Great work! It must have been kinda funny in a way to tug at your pants and they just come down. I agree with Jennifer wear nice undies when you wear those pants! Or a very good belt. It must feel awesome to know that you can go shopping and buy smaller clothing. That is a great reward. Hopefully you can find those pants again. Keep up the great work.

Hey, Ladies! Thanks for all your messages! It is awesome having my own cheering section!
Today I was telling a friend (a dieting buddy) about my pants. She too has lost some weight recently and she told me that when I get down to a size 16 she has some really loose (size 16) pants that she will pass along to me. Something to work for...

Thanks, Cocogirl.
I had lunch with a friend yesterday. She had been talking about making pasties the night before and I wasn't understanding all the "finer points," so she told me to come over for lunch and she would give me one for lunch. It was a easy, tasty meal and I loved it. I knew my hubby would really love it, so I ran to the store and got all the parts to make it for dinner. He did, love them.
The angel food cake thing was yummy too. I took an angel food cake and cut it in half horizontally. I "hollowed" out the middle and put the cake scraps in a bowl. To the cake scraps I added most of a pound of strawberries (quartered) and about 3/4 of a tub of lite cool whip. I mixed those up and put them back in the cake. Put the top back on the cake and used the rest of the cool whip to top it off. The last few strawberries were sliced and put on top, too. Very good.
We went out to Blue Springs this morning to watch the manatees. It was sooo crowded that DH was grouchy. And I was getting grouchy watching him be grouchy so we left without eating our picnic. We came home and ate our "picnic" at the table. My four year old went to the movies with a friend and everyone else is having a nap. I think I'll go do my two mile walk. Then maybe I'll go for a haircut.

Whew! I just finished my two mile walk and am I hot and sweaty! I started the dvd and I didn't really want to do it. I remember looking at the counter a little past 7 minutes and I could not believe I would ever make it to 35. But I did!
I realized that I really do unwind while walking. Gives me a chance to reflect on the day (what a rough day it was for the mom in me). Gives me a chance to think about other things (baby Daniel) and to focus on where I'm going (thin, thin, thin.)
Went to the movies this afternoon. Dh and I went to see Meet the Fockers. Meet the Parents is one of DH's favorite movies. Meet the Fockers sure did not disappoint! We laughed and laughed. There was lots of "in jokes" that we got because we've watched MtP so many times.
Last movie's main characters plus Barry's family. Dustin Hoffman plays Barry's dad and Barbara Streisand is his mom. Shelley Berman even has a small part in the movie.
Food
vanilla yogurt
3 strawberries
cranberry crunch cereal
water
ham and turkey and provolone on wheat w/ mustard
vinegar and salt chips
2 elf cookies
diet pepsi
(took the boys to the playground to eat. I forgot the fruit.)
"feed bag" of popcorn
cherry coke soda shared with hubby
water, water, water
2 cheese slices
angel food cake with strawberries and lite cool whip
licks of chocolate while dipping pretzels
(Making dipped pretzel rods for the Valentine's Day gifts for the teachers.)
Exercise
2 mile walk
Had some trouble with the kiddos today. How can I adjust things so that tomorrow runs a little smoother??? Think I may go to using something similar to the milkcap reward system that I used with my kindergarten students last year. Let me think on it...

I loved Meet The Parents! I wasn't crazy about Meet The Fockers, but I'm a critic and I never like sequels. Meet The Parents is one of my favorite movies though.
Oh, and you made me want provolone cheese.

Thanks, Rosered! I know that if I've lost anything at tomorrow's weigh in it will be due to exercise and not because of my healthy food habits! This weekend has been hard. DH and I went to the movies yesterday (popcorn and sugared soda) and this weekend's projects was to dip chocolate pretzels for teacher gifts. (Like asking an alcoholic to tend bar!)
Funnkymonk, I hear you 'bout the whole sequel thing, but how could Meet the Fockers not win you over? For the first time in my life (NOT a sequel or series person) I am actually wondering what will happen next. (As in the next movie, not just the next page...) Will little Gaylord Focker be mouthing dirty words and drinking rum? What will life be like for Pamela Martha Focker as she tries to cash a check at the Quickmart? And what new spy tool will Jack find?
Ahhh, anyway...
Just incase you were wondering...
Wasn't a better day with the kiddos... whiney, grumpy, willfully disobedient. Well, the three year old anyway. What happened to my baby?? He was a delightful baby and toddler. Now... spawn of Satan, I tell ya! He screamed, "I hate you!" as we were pulling into the church parking lot this morning. (0That's a great way for the pastor's kid to be acting!) Anybody want to rent a three year old and then send him back on his fourth birthday?
Anyway,
Got to get a move on. I talked on the phone wayyay to much and it is so late and I didn't get to exercise and I have so much to do...
Food
Breakfast bar (special K- blueberry)
grilled cheese on wheat
apple
angel food cake with strawberries and lite cool whip
diet cherry pepsi
water
several pretzels and chocolate that "did not pass inspection" while assembling teacher gifts (they are so cool!)
water
chicken and noodles
peas
angel food cake with strawberries and lite cool whip
water
diet coke with lime
Off to make Valentine's Day lunches... (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with mini M&M's stuck in the bread in the shape of a heart!)

I love Valentine's Day!

Hey Miss Totallyscrappy, where are you hiding out we haven't seen you since Valentine Eve. Hope you're doing well Totallyscrappy

Okay, I'm climbing back "on the wagon."
Ugh! I love Valentine's Day and The Day After Valentine's Day. What is there not to love? Love, pink, red, lacy stuff, chocolates, love, flowers, yadda, yadda, yadda. It was almost too much for me.
I made sandwiches for the kiddos' lunches... pb&j with mini M&M's stuck in the top bread in the shape of a heart. Holiday napkins. For dinner I made a heart shaped pizza, red pepper strips for dipping, and strawberry (frozen yogurt) milkshakes for dessert. And the boys each loved his small heart box of chocolates.
It wasn't the meals that were tough... At school the students brought in all sorts of treats that "called my name." Phew! My meals weren't too challenging, but the steady traffic of "naughty bites" was overwhelming! Cookies and candies and chocolates, OH, MY!
I do have to tell myself that it was only two days of "NO DIET DAYS". I did walk both yesterday and today. I did make some poor choices, but I will make better choices now. (To facilitate this, I will "detox" my house, pitching goodies and fat-frills. Luckily, I only teach on Mondays and Tuesdays. )
Tomorrow I will really focus on healthy eating and water guzzlin'.
One of the gifts that DH gave me was some mad money. I may use my mad money to register for a 5K walk next month. I've never signed up for such a thing. My walking buddy said she would do it with me. This might be good.
Off to the showers...

Little story...
This evening at dinner, the three year old said to me, "Mommy, does Jesus live in our hearts?" I said, "Yes, He does." He said, "Well, does He just grab some food as it goes by? Does Jesus eat what we eat?"
Of course, this is the same child that this morning I sat him on the toilet and he started to "fiddle" with his penis and I said, "Quit playin' with it before you pee all over your hands." So he left it alone. A few seconds later there is pee flying everywhere! In the air, on the seat, over his legs, on his hand! Apparently, his penis (uncircumscised) was "folded" a bit and his "fiddling" was to unfold the penis. What do I know?
