Getting there

So I realized when I fell off the wagon there were a couple things I didn't do. I didn't count WW points and I didn't count how much water I drank. The latter is a key for me. I eat for lots of reasons but one of them is I think I'm hungry but I'm really thirsty. I counted my water intake and got 80 oz before the work day was over. I felt much better and was less hungry.

Carrot

He's so stinking sweet. He loves to watch the outside world. He'll sit there forever.

Biking

I've added biking to my cross workouts. I bought a helmet and am ready to ride! I can't wait to go on my running paths (and much faster).

New Clubs

L got a junior set of clubs a couple days ago. They are really nice. 3 woods, 4 irons and a putter. And a really nice standing bag. All for $30. We are ready to play!

Chobani Fever

I think I'm addicted. I love Chobani!!! I love almost all the flavors, especially dragon fruit and lime. They have been a good addition to my morning breakfast. Combined with protein granola and fruit, it keeps me full all morning.

Brownies Reunite!

The first meeting began with songs...

Carrot

He's such a good buddy. He loves to get out and play in L's room or hang out on my lap OR look at L's window. He gets mad when he can't go out.

Phase 2

The backyard is shaping up nicely. We have phase 2 out of 3 almost done.
It went from weeds



To turf. Oh, it looks so pretty. The kids can jump in the trampoline without climbing through weeds.


Side yard. The pups love it.

Stepping Up on My Soapbox

What's wrong with this picture?



That's right. He's not wearing a helmet but its RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

I don't get it. I don't have much desire to drive a motorcycle but if I did drive or ride one, my helmet would be on. 60 miles an hour and one little mistake and you head is plastered on the concrete. I really wish Kansas would make a helmet law. It's so silly not to wear one...unless you want to be an organ donor.

Ok. I'm done. Getting down from my box for tonight.

Today's Bounty

What a beautiful day for Farmers Market. By now, I know what I want and where to go. I'm not sure I'll be there next week so I got 2 dozen farm eggs, green beans, cow peas (more on that later), tomatoes, sweet potatoes, alfalfa sprouts, homemade cinnamon rolls, granola bars, fried pies and bierocks. And flowers. Whew.

What Works for Me

Today went well. It was really slow (first week of school always results in no shows and reschedules). I drank plenty of fluids to help keep me full. My co worker makes the best guacamole. I had 2 T and 10 chips for 4 WW points with my lunch. It was so filling.
The test tonight was when I talked to Jeff. I was going to make shrimp nachos but he had been craving Pizza Hut all day. I agreed because he really wanted to go but at first I thought, "oh no. This will derail my diet." But the. I thought, I don't LOVE Pizza Hut. It's good but I can behave. And I did. Two pieces of supreme pizza hand stuffed cheese pizza. I didn't finish the crust. I was full but not stuffed. 14PP. A good choice for me.

Making Supper

L found a recipe in her cookbook. Pork meatballs with rice. She helped make it and it was delish.

What a Great Sitter

Em and L made their own Chutes and Ladder game. They made pieces with names on it. They used playing cards to decide how many places you can go. It was so cool!

I ❤ My Parents

My parents came for a visit last week. We had so much fun and I forgot to take a lot of pictures.

You know guests that will bring you a bottle of wine or flowers? Well my parents are even better. They clean. Not pick up and vacuum my house but they do the icky dirty cleaning (like my cabinets and oven). This time they cleaned out my deep freezer. I haven't used it in a couple years because the electricity went out, thawed and them refroze and it stinks sooo badly. But my parents took on this task. They enjoy a challenge and told me it wasn't really that bad (yes, it was. It stunk the garage up). Now it looks and smells great!!!
Thanks mom and dad! You are the best!!!

Most Embarrassing Moment Ever

I was trying to set up a sitter for L next week. Siri is a mean witch who picked a different word for me and I didn't proofread it before sending this text.
