Ok,ok, I know I have been really slacking off on my blog, not a good idea :( So yesterday, Tuesday, was weigh in day for this week. We changed it because the kids were off on Monday and it was easier to do it after we all took the kids to school on Tues. I gained .8 of a lb. this week. Not that bad considering what I ate. I will always be honest about what goes into my mouth, no excuses. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and I bought fudge. Now one might say, "Stupid idea when your trying to change the way you eat". However, I will not deprive myself of the little things in life. I LOVE fudge and only get to have it, usually, from the shore in the summer. I was not passing it up! and boy, was it good!! LOL I also ate way to many carbs, all week, I was really craving them. On a GOOD note, I measured myself today and I have lost 1 1/2 inches in my waist and that makes me SO HAPPY!!!! I also lost 1/2 in. in each arm. Legs and hips stayed the same, but they will have no choice but to shrink in time :)
I set a goal for myself this week to up my work out and add 15 min. of weights everyday. Today was the first day and I kicked it big!!!! I did over 1 hr on the treadmill and then did about 20 min of weights, today was legs.....I was quite proud :) I still love going to the gym everyday. I used to envy people that were like that especially my son Joey, he "needs" the gym, I think I am actually there and I am LOVING IT!!!!
I am making barbeque chicken for dinner, Oh NO!@! I just realized as I am writing this that we dont HAVE any barbeque sauce....I will be back. Going to the store!!!
I'm back. I bought a new bbq sauce, "Stubbs" it didnt have any high fructose corn syrup and only 30 calories in 2 tbsps. I will let you know how it tastes.
The family is also having some garlic, cheesy potatoes for dinner, but I will be having black beans, I really like them so it is a good swap for me and we will all be having broccoli.
Anyway, the reason I started talking about the chicken was because when I took the chicken out of the freezer there were 3 lg breasts and 1/2 of one and I thought that wouldnt be enough. Then it hit me, the 1/2 of one is MINE! It is the size of my closed fist, which is what a portion is suppossed to be, but because I have always been used to eating such large pieces of chicken, I forgot what a portion SHOULD look like :) I am so greatful to God that I am finally getting it!!!!
I will post more regularly so that my devoted followers will have something to read!! LOL
Love you all!!!!

Thank you for posting :o) We like Stubbs sauce and I swear each bottle of the stuff tastes different. Sometimes there's a wang and other times not so much. I hope your chicken turned out good. We had chicken cacciatore with you know it...spinach chopped up real fine. I'll be at the gym tomorrow. Hoping to hit 8 minutes before the end of the week!!!
