Monday, September 10, 2012

       Well it’s Monday, and neither Brian nor me wanted to get out of bed this morning. We scrambled ourselves up at 7:24am, had 15 minutes, but were late, cause we left at 7:55.

       I threw on a dress, cause it was handy and easy to put on. I still don’t have any makeup on, and I need to wash my face, but I did brush my teeth this morning.

       We got to Maximum Access aka Mom & Dad’s, and Uncle Jay was already here, and in good spirits this morning.

       Daddy’s at the deer camp this morning, but should be home sometime this afternoon.

       I need to call Mr. Charles about my pump, if Mama will ever get off the phone and give me the number, cause we have no water pressure, I was barely able to take a shower yesterday before church.

Mama is busy working this morning, getting everything together and ordering things for businesses, and making sure everything runs right.

I just checked on their painting I ordered them, as a thank you for all the things they have done for us over the past few years. It’s coming from Sweden, so it may be another week before it gets here. I hope the next stop is flying it to the United States, and then we get it on Fed Ex or UPS in just a short while. It’s going to be beautiful in their living room.

I’ve got a headache this morning, I think I need some water. I took my vitamins yesterday, for the first time in a few days, and I haven’t felt the difference this morning.

I stepped on the scale first thing, and I weighed 229.6, down from 232.4…..so I lost 2.8 pounds last week.

I really honestly prayed to God about weighing that last week, and he answered my prayers. I’ve been trying to get under 230 for about a month now, and haven’t been able to. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER!

Since I’m going to have Rotel today, 600 calories, I’ve only got 800 left to eat today, cause I’m setting my goal at 1400, and walking off 150 calories, so that will put me at 1250 for the day.

I’ve got some cereal here for breakfast. Honey Nut Crunch with Almonds, and milk is probably around 350, and then clam chowder for lunch (420) = 770, which is just about right.

My cookbook is here, and there is a bacon wrap that’s only 300 calories that I’m thinking about cooking instead, if Mama has all the ingredients.

I don’t know, Rotel just doesn’t sound as good as Greek Honey Pork Chops, and fresh green beans.

I’ve also got some skirt steak left over, that I can turn into another couple of fajitas, that we need to finish eating. And I’ve still got to make that egg/Canadian bacon/broccoli thingy.

If I eat Rotel tonight, then I’ll have 3 meals left to cook for the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday….so that works out really good for us, cause I won’t have to go back to the grocery store til Friday, although I do have some steaks in the freezer too, so I still have food to cook, even if we don’t have the Rotel tonight.

10:05am

       I just got done eating some oatmeal(2 packets x 100) and raisins (90, the little box) = 290 + coffee (100) = 390 for the day so far.

3:31pm

       Mr. Charles and Mr. Sonny just got done looking at my pump outside, and we’ve got to tear down our falling down pump house before the morning gets here, cause they will be here at about 7:30am. Thank the Good Lord, I will be so glad to have that fixed and done, and with a new pump house on the way. J

       I’m drinking water and making coffee. This morning I ran to Monroe to the bank, cause I had to pay for those jewels I bought yesterday, and then stopped back by Walmart on the way back. I bought 2 packages of skinny cow ice cream sandwiches (Strawberries Shortcake & Cookies and Cream), a thing of Snickers Ice Cream Bars, and a package of Reese’s ice cream thingys for Brian.

       As soon as I checked out and got in the car, I ripped open the Snickers (180), then had a skinny cow (150) plus my oatmeal this morning (290) = 620. Then when I got back to Mama’s, I had some New England Clam Chowder (440), and then when I left I had the other skinny cow (150) = 1210 for the day so far.

       Yes, I loaded up on ice cream. I am so glad to have it again. And it was WORTH IT! That is so much better than rotel any day.

       Oh yeah! I have had coffee too 1210+200=1410. So I’m good on calories the rest of the day. I’m not going to eat anything else. I don’t even feel hungry. I’m about to have some more coffee though, but that’s included, cause I only had 2 cups at Mama’s this morning.

       I’m so excited today for some reason. I can’t explain the feeling J
