Good Morning Ladies.

It feels so good to be in control of my food again! I am seriously on a roll. Once you thread the good days together, it gets easier.

It is a typical Saturday with a ton of running around to do. Football! Garrett plays at 9:30, Blair right after that, and Devan at 2. 3 of the 4 youth football games. UGH. I already made my plan.....in a few minutes I am going to have breakfast and I am making sandwiches to take to the game and some fruit for lunch.

After that, we have to go food shopping and also get a few more things for Blairs birthday party on Sunday. She turns 10 today.

Oh well.....I am going to go blog. OH don't forget to add to the recipe section! I was looking around on there last night and added some things.

Have a great morning.

Hey girls, I have been cleaning my house this morning and making a dent in the laundry that piled up this school week. I am in a huge quandry. There is a petition that is going to be going around our little town in a few days asking for the superintendent and the school board to terminate the elem. principal's contract. I totally, 100% believe in the petition. He is a complete butthead, but I just really don't think that our "leaders" are going to do anything about it and our town is just going to stay in upheavel. I don't work in his building, or trust me I would have quit, but I have friends who do and he will definitely take this out on them. Anyway, just a vent because I have this sick feeling about it.
Tomorrow is going to be an "issue" for me as far as food. We are going to our 'fantasy football' draft and it's snack foods galore... and adult beverages galore. I don't worry about beer because I don't usually drink on Sundays (werid, I know, but it's a holy day! LOL). I am going to take buffalo chicken bites and vegetables and think about y'all so I'll make good choices! LOL

Jen: have a great time at football!!! Hope it's not too terribly hot!
Anna: have fun shopping! I am so impressed that Brittanie's going with you and Ashlea! Where is she going to college? Close enough to stay home?

Have a great day girls, I have to go get a walk in later!

Oye...what a day. At least it's been a bit cooler. I had a breakfast date to meet my friend and her new baby at Paradise Bakery. Now they don't put any nutritional info online, so I played it safe and got some fruit salad. On the way home, I got stuck in traffic for an hour, and hadn't gone to the ladies room before I left the cafe...oh my lord, I had crazy sharp pains in my entire body by the time I got off the "freeway" and got to a restroom. I really thought I might pee my pants right there in the car. Had no idea what I was going to do.
Got home, and because I took so long had to turn right around and take ds to his art class. Ok, so by now, I'm STARVING. We went to a local place, also, no nutritionals available, and I'm trying to balance the veggie thing with the WW thing, so I tweaked a sandwich-it had cilantro lime hummus and some melted brie cheese and mango coulis on a marble rye and a big mixed green salad with balsamic vinegar. It was really yummy. I figured it at about 15 points. Of course I didn't get my oils or my milks in, but hey...I did the best I could with what I hadSo, even with all my craziness, I stayed withing my points and got the dog out for a run this evening.

We had part of the hurricane remnants come up from the gulf today and it rained all morning, and kept the temperature down. You know you're a desert dweller when it's 86 degrees and you're thrilled that it's so cool.

Peace out kids...gotta get this child to bed. He's got a school project to finish up in the morning.
