I bet that nap was pretty good. Sometimes I am so tired when I drive to work, i am not a morning person at all. Never heard of the vinegar test, but now you have me thinking maybe I should try it. Your meals for today sound good. Do you like the green tea? I tried some hot green tea last week and it was half horrible. I say half because I still drank it, wasn't exactly nasty. What kind do you drink. Good luck with your day, maybe your little one will be easy on sleep tonight. I know how that can feel.

I actually enjoy the Green Tea I like the Tetly, the same company has green tea with pomegranate those are so good. I want to try their ginger honey green tea next I like a little variety. I tried pc and other no name tea and didn't like it this is the only one I actually like.
As for my daughter I think she is preparing me for her teenage years, ah man knowing her personality I think I should start stressing about that now lol! She is gonna be one heck of a drama queen....she already is lol!

You are right...we should just press reset on the whole week it is still young enough for that.

You put down 2 points for your apple? not sure if that was a mistake or maybe you have an old book but it should only be 1 point which means you have an extra point to use! I like the Tetley brand teas too and have tried others that I don't care for. I know what you mean exercising on a full stomach and what works for me when I plan to exercise after dinner is eat half the dinner before the exercise and half once you are done. I know you work out really late once the kids are in bed so you might not want to eat that late but some nights it might work.

I'm with you on this. I had a major sugar attack today, two lunches because I had cravings, had a very very stressful day at work, and I am PMSing majorly.
But Tuesday is a brand new day for you (Wed for me coz it is already Tues night in this part of the world). We can do this!! Lets finish strong this week.

My book is from 2006 but since I ended up eating 2 I guess I will leave it at 2pts I just love empire apples! I try not to eat at least 3 hours before I go to bed I find that if I do I don't sleep well and end up with an upset stomach the next morning....I guess that always depends on what the late meal is.

I hate having cravings like that...eating healthy food is usually not hard for me cause I actually like the taste of lettuce and vegies and fruits but when the craving hit I have an actuall battle going inside my head between my common sence and the craving. At least the craving went away after a few handfulls for me so it could have been worst! Wednesday is a new day you can still have a great week!!!

I haven't tried them, but Veronique lolol I had to share this story with you!
My husband was telling me about some people who stink at his work and he was saying the company should really do something because it is in their policy. He was saying since the days are hot it is as if it has gotten worse. So I told him your story and the woman who cannot fit in the shower but she was able to clean herself for 2 months. I also told him that her husband was going to make a bigger shower for her. He kept quiet for a bit and then he said, "Maybe they should make something to dryclean them since they hate water so much." LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

LOL that is funny! One woman at work actually contact the health board yesterday......she is fed up. A guy had to leave work early on friday, and when she works in the shipping office no one even goes in there to grab coffee for their breaks they comme up to the office instead. A bunch of us also put a complaint on a website that keeps every cmplainers name anonymous something will have to be done soon cause with summer comming it's only getting worst. The bigger shower was supposed to be built over the last 2 years so if it's not done it ain't getting done lol!!!!! The joys of office work. I wish people would stop complainint to me and actually go see the boss everyday at some point he is gonna get annoyed and do something.

Thank you!!! I read the reviews online and I would say that about 90% of people like them and 70% had results ON person steped on a tac the first day she had them so they deflated and was pissed that Rebok would not replace them, they didn't make step on the tac so why would they be responsible. I am thinking I can give them a try since I walk a lot and keep my older runners for when I go running!

Happy Cinco de Mayo (don't know about the spelling lol)
Last night dinner was high on calories, I am sure I am going to try to fin nutritional vaulue online but I am sure it was on the high end. Hubby suprised me last night. He came online at around 2 and told me not to go home but to meet him at his mom, he would not tell me why, I walk in the door there my daughter hands me a huge bouquet of flowers. I thank her and she says happy mothers day mommy lol! My hubby tells me to get in the car we where going...still would not tell me where. We ended back in Ottawa for diner at East Side Mario's and a movie we went to see "Nightmare on Elm Street". Before we where even dating we bonded over the fact that we both liked horror movies and we would always go see them together we where both dating other people who didn't like those movies so we always ended up seing those together, funny how life works. I didn't have my usuall Fettecini Alfredo instead I tried something with no pasta at least there is this new dish called Hell Kitchen's Chicken it was just spicy enough and there where grilles veggies in there there where potatoes and I ate a few, and right at the begining I ask to only get half the plate served to me and the other half to go that way no over eating, but there fresh garlic loaf was so goo I had two slices with a bit of whipped butter and there garden salad is the best. I was good at the theatre too....I didn't buy any snacks or drinks. I do recommend the dish at East Side's but I don't know it there are any in the states even if it's supposed to represent an Americain Italian Eatery. I also think TOM will be early again this month I am sorta feeling it's on it's way, that couple with another week of not much exercise...We did walk for about 1hour after our meal but not at my pace lol, he tries to help me but he is worried I am going overboard he says he likes curves, and I promised him I would still have them just in the correct places lol! So he is on board with my weight loss again, told you he would come around!

usuall bagel 6pts
coffee 2pts

Hell's Kitchen Chicken left over 5.5pts

I will still have salad I got to eat can't skip a meal but I have to keep the points low. cause this week I had Wendy's Chips and East Sides in two day so if I want to at least maintain TOM is comming too so I got to step up! I can tell that TOM is comming cause this afternoon was not mindless munching. I am actually hungry still amI hate weeks like this. I walked a a medium speed at lunch for 30 min and my forehead was a bit covered by sweat so that should be about 2 activity points so I can add 1/4 of a cup of legumes and no dressing to my salad. Whoo hoo! lol!

ok so I made the reasearch for the chicken dish and it's actually not that bad
Hell's Kitchen Chicken (East Side Mario's)
Serving Size: 607; Calories: 530, Total Fat: 20g, Carbs: 47g, Protein: 42g
I am thinking there is at least 4 g of fiber in here so 11pts and that is for the whole serving and I only ate half last night so 5.5 pts plus salad I had the dressing on the side with no cheese in it 2pts ( I left hubby get the croutons and diped my fork in the dressing) and my bread was probably around 6pts last night I did do some damage but had I skipped the bread it would not have been that bad oh well no pop corn and I had a great time and it was my mother's day gift so I enjoyed it!

Thank You. On Sunday we have to be at my aunts for lunch and his parents for diner, each year is the same running around like crazy with cranky kids lol so this year he wanted to do something special
just for me!!!Had I know we where going I would have brought some stuff, I actually like to bring frozen grapes it's kind of like eating ice cream plus it doesn't make me thirsty. I am not a big fan of artificial sweetners (they tend to set off my migrains and I don't like that they are mostly done with chemicals...it's a personal thing lol) so I drink the real soda I usually have a couple sip from my hubby's but I have a hard time drinking it now I find it sickly sweet.
When she saw my hubby with the flowers she tought they where for her lol!!! She is such a daddy's girl next year on her b day I am telling my hubby to buy her some flowers she is gonna love it.

That made me smile. Very important to have a man who likes your curves, me thinks.The dish you had for dinner sounds yummy. Good choice on not choosing pasta! You are doing so well. How's the planning/research of couch 2 5k going? (Can you tell I really want you to join the program?) Lol!!

My research as been alted a bit cause I had lots to do at work and I haven't been online a lot...I think a program like that would be difficult for me cause I can't go run everyweek. My hubby works shift so one week out of two her works nights, I can't leave the kids alone to go running and I don't own a threadmill (one day I will). For now I just have to get back to my own personal circuit training until I either buy a threadmill or find a new job closer to home so that I have time to workout while the kids are a the babysitter (if option 2 happends mabe I can go to the gym, cause there I could really focus on the workout)! I really am interested in the program, it's time for it I don't have!

Hey hun, you are still trucking right along, but where is all that exercise you and I were supposed to start doing? lol.
I did start the couch 2 5k challenge, but then I hurt my knee. While I was doing it though, it really worked well at letting you gradually build up to running. It pushed hard, but just hard enough. They have a lovely active Facebook page you may want to check out.
Good job skipping snacks at the movies. That is always hard to do. Keep on moving and you'll get there eventually.
