Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Some things I did today included: Cleaned out my pots and pans cabinet, cleaned out my lazy susan cabinet, washed the dishes, cleaned behind the stove, cleaned the baseboards, wiped down all appliances, wiped down all counter tops, cleaned the windowsills and mowed the lawn......I wanted to work out today......but I guess I did get a "workout" in. Doing all those chores really does make you sweat! And my fingers are sore!!!!

Have a great day!

What happened ???

I had this big plan to journal my intake online for only 1 week.....and I didn't follow through! In my defense I worked over 60 hours in 5 days....and I am exhausted. I stayed pretty much on track with counting my points.....I did go over a few days......but I figured it balanced out with all the hours on my feet and walking up and down the halls like a mad woman.

I lost 5.2 pounds this week! YAY! I made some changes.....easy and hard....for example "easy" was increasing my water intake....and "hard" was resisting snacking urges, fighting cravings, measuring my food and making sure not to take seconds........basically getting out of bad habits.

I do apologize for not journaling the last 3 days...I really applaud those that blog their food daily! What work it is!

While I am at work I will probably drink hot tea until midnight....then I start my new day.....when you work night shift it gets kind of hard when you decide your new day begins. I do midnight to midnight....other people do 9 am to 9 am......I just get too hungry to do 9-9 because I am up all day and all night and there is no way I can stay within my points target....so midnight to midnight works for me well.

Kindergarten

There's just something about the first day of kindergarten that pulls at your heart......letting your baby go on that bus without you for the first time......it's like you are letting go of that baby........forever!!!! I know, I know....I am being a LITTLE dramatic! I am so proud of my little kindergartner. She was so happy to get on that bus all by herself. She was so excited today. I was excited for her too. On the walk back home from the bus stop is when it hit me. My Allie is growing up....and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

boarding the bus for the very first time!
