Day 42

What is it about weekends?  Oh well. I weighed in this morning at 154.6 lbs!  Oops. I didn't do any better today either (well not much anyway).  I had popcorn for breakfast.  I had some candies too that Brian had bought yesterday.  I had beef and tomatoes and mango for lunch.  I had 4 chocolate granola bars.  I had rice and stir fry for dinner and a few chocolates thrown in during the day.  I'll be back at it tomorrow!  I'm just hoping to get to 150 by the end of this week when I finish! 
Otherwise it was a good day.  We spent the whole day (except for naps) at two parks that aren't too close to the house and it was fun for the kids.  James is mostly better but poor Johnny is still sick and had a hard time sleeping for his nap. He ended up sleeping on Brian's chest for a couple of hours.  It felt like a Saturday since we didn't have church. I'm not ready for tomorrow to be Monday but it means that my sister will be here soon! 8 days!

Day 41

I weighed in at 152.4 lbs. 
I ate horribly.  I had a MacDo Happy meal for lunch and then I took James to a movie and had popcorn with him.  Then I had pizza for dinner!  I also had a cookie and a few chocolates that Brian brought back from the Versoix Chocolate Festival.  It is definitely a weekend!

Day 40

I weighed in this morning at 151.4 which puts me at 17 lbs. total so far.  I am so close to the 140's! 
I started out the day well.  I had beef and tomatoes for lunch.  Then I had a few bites of Johnny's spaghetti and a cookie.  I did good after that until Brian ordered pizza.  I had 4 pieces! Oops.  And a cookie.  We will see how I turn out tomorrow. 
Today was a bit difficult.  We are all sick except for Johnny.  Brian went to work anyway which left me with Johnny who wanted to play and have fun and James who cried and threw a fit if I walked away from him.  He also didn't want Johnny around him.  Let's just say that we have all had better days but I handled it well I think and I didn't lose my cool even once. 
James woke up from his nap feeling a tiny bit better and he asked to go to the park so we did for just a little while.  I hope this means he is on the mend and that tomorrow he will be all better.  It is supposed to be a beautiful day here tomorrow so I would like to take advantage of it.

Day 39

I weighed in today at 151.8 lbs. I am very happy!  I have been  having more and more people ask me about this diet and how to do it since they have watched me change.  I took cookies to my (super old) neighbor tonight and she asked me about them for a friend of hers. 
Anyway, I started out the day really good.  I had beef and tomatoes for lunch and a mango (I had cut it up for the kids and they didn't want it).  I had a MacDo hamburger (with half the bun removed), a huge cookie and some pineapple for dinner.  I'm hoping it doesn't kill me tomorrow but we will see. 
Overall, I'm feeling good.  Except that James is sick with a fever and I even have a little fever (I only checked to get him to let me check and it turned out I had a fever too.   I don't feel sick at all).

Day 38

I weighed in today at 152.4 lbs. which puts me finally at 16 lbs. for this round.  I'm doing better these days on the diet so that of course it helping a lot.  I would really like to lose at least another 5 lbs. before I end since that would put me down to where I was before I got pregnant with James!!!  I'm so close I can "taste" it!
Today I did good on the diet.  I had strawberries for breakfast (and 2 reisen's) and then I had shrimp and asparagus for lunch.  (I know I have this often but asparagus are only in the stores here so often and they have been so yummy lately that I can't help but eat them.  And the shrimp go better than beef or chicken in my opinion).  For dinner I had beef and tomatoes. I also had an apple at the swimming pool this afternoon. 
I had a pretty productive day today.  I spent the morning with a friend and then I spent the afternoon at the pool with the kids.  It was fun and exhausting.  I love going to the pool because the kids have so much fun and then they are beat when we get home. 
The kids have been beat anyway lately because they have not sufficiently adjusted to the time change I think.  And today I was very proud that I had dinner made (a zucchini, onion and gruyeres quiche) before I went to the pool so it was waiting for us when we got home.  Love those days!
