Monday...
Busy today. I got to the office this am and had 7 voice mails!! It was nuts! As soon as I hung up the phone from checking messages, it was ringing again and it was one of the people who left a message! Goodness, we open at 9, this was at 9:20, give me time to return your call before you call again! Today was a low calorie day and I am hungry!! I may go to bed soon so that I don't cheat!! Only lost 1 lb last week. Hopefully it will be better this week. Went walking in the park on my way home today, it was great! Not hot, not cold, very comfortable. New menus look good. I can't decide between Wendy's and KFC, I have been craving fried chicken lately, so I think that is what I will have when they start. Well, I hope everyone is doing well and liking the menus. It's kind of strange with the varied amounts of calories per day, it's sort of hard to get used to...I guess that is why we are doing them, to get us used to compensating for days when we go over our limits some to balance out the calories for the week, to teach us not to gain our weight back once we lose it. It makes sense, just not easy. Night y'all!

practice...
was really long last night. We practiced 2 songs that we hadn't done in a long time so it took a while. We didn't get done until about 9:15. Hubby and I went to Wendy's and I had 2 ceasar side salads with 1 pack of pomegranate dressing for a grand total of 180 calories! The salad consists of about 1 cup romaine, 2 grape tomatoes and some shaved parmesan cheese. That's it and it's one of my favorite things to eat.
Doing day 3 today and had my egg sandwich for breakfast. Pretty full, still. Looking forward to the Taco Bell for lunch, it seems strange that it is on the plan, but it is!!
My stomach really hurts today, though. Several years ago, I had a
hernia repaired and it had come open again a couple of years ago. With no health insurance, I can't have it repaired yet. Whenever I sleep on my back a lot at night (usually a side sleeper) it is sore in the morning. I think I must have spent most of the night on my back though, because it's really sore today.
Steak and baked potato for supper tonight, yeah!!!

new food...
I'm kinda enjoying the new food menus. Allan may be mad, but I did change last night's dinner. I like the deep fried version of chinese food, not the good for you veggies and stir fry, so instead I had a large salad, it was all veggies so I kind of felt safe doing that instead. Plan said 3 cups of oriental veggies, but I had 3 cups of salad veggies. And no rice.
It was nice to have cereal for breakfast today!! It's been a long time since I have done that.
Today, I have stuck to it to the letter, sort of. I forgot my banana at home that was supposed to be with breakfast and when I weighed my deli meat for lunch, it just seems to be sooo much!! I put some back so instead of 3 oz, I had 1 1/2 oz.m, this was still 4 slices! I used a whole wheat sandwich thin which is 100 calories instead of 2 slices of whole wheat bread which would have been 140 calories. I only did that because I had those in the fridge from phase 4 and they were still good and I didn't want to waste them. A little mustard, meat, romaine, roma tomato and some thin sliced cucumber...it was very good and I didn't miss the mayo that I DIDN'T PUT ON IT!!! I even ate my plum!!
Since Allan doesn't want us to repeat days, I am just going in order of the days as they are numbered. I may switch Sunday with Monday because on Monday is toast and egg for lunch and I don't have a way to cook at work. Tuna is on the menu for Sunday, so I will probably just trade the days, so that I can cook at home and brown bag for lunch. Easy peasy!
I have praise and worship practice tonight at 7, I get off work at 5:30 and it's a 30 min drive there. Since I will get there an hr early, I am going to a friends house and quickly cutting her and her son's hair, then dashing off to practice. That will end between 8 and 9 depending on if the band members have practiced and learned the new song for this week. I really hope they have because it goes so much smoother and quicker when they do. Then a 30 min drive home and then eat?? I may have to have Christina prepare it for me so that I can eat as soon as I get home or I may just skip dinner since it will be so late and just have my snack. If I time it right that could work. Bring my afternoon snack with me to practice and eat it just before we start and then have the evening snack as soon as I get home. I hate eating a meal and then going to bed right after. At least now, it's not a 1000 calories, its only 300 -450.
Eat well!!

Gorgeous...
Gorgeous day in Memphis today. I love when we can have the doors to the office open.
I think I need to go to a chiropractor. My neck still hurts and it has been over a week since I woke up and couldn't turn my head to the right. I am afraid I may have a pinched nerve. We don't have health ins but we know a chiropractor and have for about 18 yrs. He charges $40 per treatment without ins and I used to go to him a long time ago. He treated my husband when he fell on ice and hit his lower back on the curb and dislocated a vertebra. He is really good. So I will bite the bullet tomorrow and call him.
Diet is going well, just bored with it. I am glad to be getting new menus. It will be a nice change. I need to do something to push my weight loss. Suggestions? My loss has slowed down and I am getting frustrated with it. I would love to win the trip, it would be the fulfillment of a life long dream, but I am sooo far down on the list of percentage, I just don't know.

Lots and lots of 2 yr olds...
2 hrs. at a 2 yr old's birthday party was loud, exhausting but fun. The kids had a great time. Strawberry Shortcake was the character theme for the party. There was a bouncy thing, face painting, food, candy, pinata, sherbert and lots of gifts. I had one bite of cake off of my daughter's plate and that was enough, not really used to sweets like that anymore and that was a good feeling!!
Then went to Wal-Mart with Christina and Isabella, spent way too much. Got Izzy the cutest outfit that Christina put together. A Light pink onsie with darker pink spots on it, pink pants, a black tutu and sparkly pink shoes!! I can't wait to dress her in it for church tomorrow!!! Her mama is going to freak!! I love it!!!
I am curious about the new menus we are getting tomorrow from Allan...he mentioned Taco Bell. He is probably going to tell us that we can eat certain things from there and they will probably things I would load down with cheese to make it taste better. We'll see. One thing I know, it be good for me, well, at least as good for me as Taco Bell can be. I do love their Chipotle Steak Taco salad!!!
Need to go figure out what to fix for the family for supper.
Later!

good day
Today was a really good day. Work was busy but with no major problems, well not for me anyway. A couple of people who had claims, the adjusters called us today to tell us that they were denying the claims. One was auto and the other home. I hate when that happens. A lady traded in her car last year in Feb and didn't tell us. Then in Feb this year, she was in a car wreck, then a few days later she called and traded the cars on her policy. The adjuster denied her claim because she had owned the car for more than 30 days without notifying us. So, if you buy a car, whether it is an additional car or a replacement, CALL YOUR INSURANCE AGENT AND ADD IT ON!!!!!! And if you own a house that you rent out and your tenant is dodging you, GO CHECK YOUR HOUSE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER IS STILL ON AND THE TENANT HASN'T ABANDONED IT IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER WITH THE POWER OFF!!!!! Because the house was vacant when the pipes burst, there is no coverage. Denied claim #2. I hate this part of insurance. I like the part when I can explain things to people and make them understand how insurance works and when I can save them money. Now a days, that's not happening as often as I would like, but sometimes...
Food was great today, did Ahi Tuna for dinner, marinated in some soy, oyster sauce, garlic and teriyaki. Delish!!! With some green beans and carrots!
Busy weekend ahead. Church cleaning, appt at hair place, Isabella, birthday party at 3 and grocery shopping. Then church on Sunday.
Later, gator!!

My baby's home!!!
Christina left on Monday morning to go to the Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg TN, with the youth group from church. They came home tonight, she was so excited to be home but had a great time. I went several years ago with our older daughter, Christian. It was wonderful!!! The funny thing is, this year they stayed two cabins away from the cabin we stayed in the first year. It is good to have her home.
Ed and I went out to eat tonight, Cajun Catfish Cabin. It was just ok. I had the grilled platter. Grilled catfish, a crab cake and four grilled shrimp. I picked apart the crap cake and just ate the crap from it, fake crab meat. The fish tasted like the refridgerator, shrimp was overcooked. The best part of my meal was the salad I got in place of the fries and cole slaw.
Thank God tomorrow is Friday!! Then I get Isabella on Saturday!! YAY!!! Talk about live for the weekends! That little girl makes me want the weekend to hurry up like a fat girl wants chocolate shake!!
Night y'all!!
