Thanks to everyone who stopped by over the weekend.
This past weekend turned out to be a pretty good one. What with the holiday and all.
After getting Friday night off it was back to the freezer as usual on Saturday. Didn't get off of work until 2:30am. Which put me at like 4 hours of sleep once I made it home.
Hubby was preaching this Sunday and needed someone (me!
) to cover his usual job of teaching the elementary aged kids for 1st service at church. That meant I had to be to church by 8:30am. And since I have kids that meant I had to get up at 7am.
After church went home and got in a nice nap.
And was back off to work again.
Though at least we didn't have to be there all night again. I clocked out of work at 10:30pm and headed to the store to pick up food for the next day. We were heading out to "the" lake. Lake Michigan that is!
Had an absolutely wonderful time, though the water was FRIGID!!!
Spent the day doing sets of "polar bear dips" followed by "sun bathing" aka warming up.
Ate really well at the beach. Had lots of good for you foods like carrots, grapes, Laughing Cow cheese wedges and of course lots and lots of water.
Stopped at a great place to eat on the way home. Was a good girl and got a salad. Funny thing though the salad was sooooo BIG that I couldn't get at it with my fork without stuff failing out of the bowl. Apparently this is a usual occurance as they brought the bowl out on a plate. So silly me, I decided to put my salad on the plate. Only I decided to do this by flipping the bowl over onto the plate instead of putting the plate on the salad and then turning it.
So you guessed it I had a lapful of lettuce!!!
Dh just looked at me and didn't say a word! LOL
Other than that little mishap the day went very well.
We decided that now the kids are older and more manageable we should go to the beach more than once next year.
So that is something to look forward to.
Stopped at a fruit stand on the way home and got some of the most delish raspberries ever!
I wish we could get more fresh stuff around here like that. I would be buying stuff everyday.
I have decided to start eating in a more healthier way.
A little more along the clean eating routine.
As long as I am going to continue to eat stuff that is not nescessarily healthy for me just lower in calories I think I will continue to struggle.
I need to break away from all those high carbs that I seem to love.
So today I went and got some Steel Cut Oats and I will be trying those for breakfast tomorrow. Along with the entire family eating fish at least once a week. As well as some other healthy organic stuff.
And no more eating out for anything. Well maybe for salads.
But mostly if I am going to go thru the drive-thru I am going to only be getting drinks. Like coffee and iced tea. And as soon as Mickey D's stops doing their $1 large drinks I will no longer be getting that either.
I am planning on taking another bike ride tomorrow. I was told it should be about 14 miles round trip. Add to that my plans of getting back to my PowerCore class and tomorrow should round out to be a great exercise day.
Tonight I plan to jump on my elliptical here at home.
I realized that since MIL has gotten here I really haven't had a mini-goal in mind for quite some time.
So my mini-goal currently is to get back to 199 by birthday which is the 23rd of this month.
As of right now I am weighing in at 204 something. Just haven't had the heart
to change the ticker in an upward motion........again! *Sigh*
So I figure that gives me 3 weeks from today to lose 5 pounds. I think that I can do it. All I need to do is stick to it.
So those are my rambling thoughts for the moment.
I'll get around to everyone's diaries later on. I need to go pick up the MIL and take her to Wally-world.
See ya all later!
Awwww Shucks * hands behind back, stubbing toe on the ground* 
LOL
But trust me I was good until 18 miles............that's when I was seriously contemplating how long it would take me to walk that bike home!!!!! hahahahaha
me to the brink of insanity!!!
