Nice

Ok, the sprinkler system has been having a few issues lately and one we had a guy come out today and do the repairs. Well, he is outside right now having to replace a PIPE because he busted one on accident. NICE. Not only that, but they have had to dig up my pretty yard. Hopefully it doesn't look too bad when he is done. We shall see.

There is a higher power!!!

Ok, Tobbie's playgroup had a Cinco de Mayo party today and I didn't want to ruin my "diet" by over eating the mexican food, so I ate TUNA! I can't stand tuna, but I made a yummy and low in points tuna salad. I had 1 can of Bumble Bee Albacore tuna with 1 tablespoon of mayo and 1/2 a tablespoon of relish on a couple of Wasa light rye crisp bread. Yummy! I still ate a taco at the playgroup party!
Then, our new friends Heather, Jack and Sam invited us to go to Moe's Southwest Grill for dinner. I checked out the menu online before we went and I knew what I was going to have. After dinner we decided to take the kids next door to Cold Stone Creamery to get an ice cream. I couldn't wait, I was going to be bad and have some too. Then my precious darling that never has accidents, looked at me and said, "Mommy, I pee pee my pants!" That was God's way of keeping me from indulging!

Poor baby girl, she never has accidents and she got so upset because we had to go home and change her clothes and not get ice cream. I'll have to make it up to her.

Holy Shitake Mushrooms!

Ok, I changed up my breakfast this morning because my "healthy" breakfast was eating up too many of my daily points. I've been eating 1 serving of Kashi GoLean Honey Almond Flax cereal with 1 cup of skim milk. That alone is 6 points! Yes, it is filling, but I don't like seeing my points eaten up at the beginning of the day, I gotta have some reserve for night time.

This morning I changed it to 1 cup of coffee, with 1 serving of fat-free hazelnut creamer, 2 splenda w/ fiber, 1 1/2 servings of scrambled egg whites, 1 cup of grapes and 1/2 a cup of blackberries. I only used up 3 points! I got my coffee which is amazing!

Now, lets see how filling it is!

Skinny Girl

Ok, I obviously am not speaking of myself!!! I LOVE to watch The Real Housewives series on Bravo, especially the Housewives of New York. And my favorite person is Bethenny Frankel. She is a celebrity chef and she is also coming out with a line of cocktails named: Skinny Gril Cocktails. Well, if you check out YouTube, you can watch her make numerous Skinny Girl Cocktails and tonight I am drinking her Skinny Girl Appletini. The aren't too shabby! You gotta have good vodka to make it taste good.

Oh, another thing I have found that tastes yummy, yoplait cinnamon roll flavored yogurt! yummy!!!

Pity Party is...

OVER! Well, it might carry over on in today a little while the kids and I go shopping. Yes, now it is time to take it out on the checkbook! Just teasing, a little!

Well, I joined Weight Watchers today. According to Michael, I can do the same thing for free by myself, but I need the computer to hold my hand and because I am such a visual person, I need to see it all for my eyes. So, I am doing the online program. I have about 50lbs. that I would like to lose. I don't need to lose that much, but it sure would be nice. 20lbs. would put me at a healthy weight, but I would like to do a little better than that. I can't blame it on just having a baby because I didn't really gain any weight while pregnant and I am 20lbs. lighter than when I got pregnant with Tristan. Weird.

So now you all get to read about my weight loss journey as well!
I would like to go from this

to thisand yes, it is Valerie Bertinelli!

he's gone

Well, he's gone. He left a little while ago. I think he and I were more upset than Tobbie. She really has no idea. Her mind was just on cheese balls. I made a photo book with photos of just Tobbie and her Daddy for him to give to her. She thought it was "cool".

more will come later, don't really feel like writing right now...

Very Happy

Oh My Goodness! I just looked at the photos we had done on Tuesday by my old friend Jessica at , and they are to die for!!! I can't wait to share them with you all, but because a particular grandmother reads this blog, I can't share them until after Mother's Day. I don't want to ruin her surprise! But they are amazing!!!
