HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (to me...) :D

kevin took me to lunch w/ the girls. we went to flancers. i had a veggie sandwich (cukes, tomatoes, avocados, spinach, roasted bell peppers, chz and a chile mayo or something.) didnt really taste that part of the sandwich.. but the rest was delicious. i took the chz off, cz thats gross! i enjoyed a root beer and fries too. but i'm over it now. i just want water, i'm thirsty.

later we'll go get ice cream w/ the kids---or the like.

rode the bike to mesa drive and back--then over to lindsay and back. 40 mins. it was fun, but i want to go more still.

that DARN cake is gone finally.. phewww... note to self--dont make it when you're the only one that eats it!

oh how i look forward to having my shake. it makes me feel better and gets me through the day. i just wish it motivated me to exercise.. cause i'm not FEELING it today.. :(

i get sweets tomorrow (for free) cause its my birthday.. and i cant believe i don't have anything in mind to enjoy or 'want'. oh well... guess that's good!! gonna make foil dinners tonight. we have primary softball, again, so that can cook while we're gone! how perfect am i??!!

maybe i'm just tired today! i didn't go to bed early with the kids..i stayed up talking to anissa... GOSH!

day went good.. til now! all of a sudden everything is fallen apart!!! i'm tired.. and i've knocked over or spilt at least 10 things.. so maddening!!! ugh.

rode the bike to alma school and back. that was fun (besides traffic sometimes). i'm really ready to go farther and longer.. ALOT FARTHER. time to step it up. :D

i dont even want to write anymore--- so i want. i still havent showered or finished the laundry. and i gotta get kids ready for bed. AND I'M THIRSTY. (but who asked.. right??)

2nd week is OVER. i just have to behave today cause its not free day.
made texas sheet cake today. agave style with wheat flour. i think it tastes PRETTY GOOD!

i'm looking forward to next week of course..i'm ready for a bike ride! might take an exercise point today cz its still raining. i was gonna go for a walk later. guess we'll see what happens.

long day ahead! but at least exercise is out of the way. me and boo went for a bike ride. :D

kevin and the girls are at a daddy/daughter activity. we have the freestone picnic right after that and charity & jr's luncheon in the middle of that.

tomorrow is NOT free day. did the points this week.

i cant believe i don't have any words to write!! that almost never happens.

2nd week.. coming to a close! (well, its Friday anyway.)

life is good and i LOVE the challenge.. have i mentioned that before? hmmmmm
I'm really enjoying bicycling! i am ready for a fancy seat and maybe even a better bike. one that HASN'T been abused. I'm ready to make my rides longer/go farther. how cool is that?!

i LOVE my shake that I've made up. its perfect for my chocolate fix, a great snack, a healthy one, not to mention low on the calorie scale BUT keeps me full forever!
HERE IT IS:
1 cup almond milk**40
1 cup mixed berries**70
1 tsp powdered greens**10
2 tbs oats**38
2 tbs chocolate syrup (agave style) .. sometimes a tad more. either way, 1 tbs is 24 cals.
total cals for that is ........ 208
adding a 1/2 banana is 55 cals. (too much flavor for a whole one)
i have this EVERYDAY.. without fail. its my afternoon treat and pick me up.

anissa, i know you will read this--- i love you for doing the challenge. i don't know why this is the only thing that pushes me to do what i gotta do. but it works for me and i love doing it. I'm happy and feel good. i honestly don't even care about the money. i just wanna do this forever. all i keep thinking about is NOT weighing so much. i hope this time i make some permanent changes instead of just looking for the end!! I'd be fat w/ out ya Dave! well, i still am.. but you know i mean. PEACE

long time no post!! been more convenient to write on paper, then to try and log on here.
second challenge started feb 15. i'm excited because i gained all the weight back from last time. boo! but i plan on doing things different this time. i plan on sticking with it, (did i say that last time???) but i think i finally realized, in my OWN head, that i cant lose weight and eat junk. maybe later when i'm happy and i workout hard, i can reward myself.. but i have to keep my self in check!

last week was a perfect score. i lost 3 pounds. my starting weight was 195. AGAIN... I HATE THAT NUMBER!!!!!

heres to 11 more weeks.. yeehaw! =)
