New Weight Loss, Fun day, and Food Log for April 8th &9th!!

Ok, so I do realize I haven't posted for the past two days. I can explain. For one thing, this new medicine is making me soooo sleepy. That's the one thing I hate about it. However, it is doing what it's supposed to do, so I can't whine too much. Secondly, I've been loooong overdue for a mommy break. I hit the peak of needing a mommy break day before yesterday when my kids stopped up the toilet and it flooded my bathroom with poopy water! Ewwwwww! This was my "Good morning" from the kids and I spent it mopping a gazillion times and scrubbing my toilet a gazillion times. Then there's my 3 yr. old's temper tantrums here lately. He had come out of this phase for a while, but decided he likes this phase b/c it's not enough to torture Mommy with flooding the bathroom with poopy water.
   Anyway, I told my David about the poopy water incident and he sent me shopping for new clothes, shoes, and I got my hair cut! Isn't it amazing how much more sexy a man becomes when he utters sweet little things like, "New clothes.....new clothes....I'll take care of the kids honey.....Go get your hair done...new shoes....new shoes." (sigh with a smile on my face)

I ♥ David.... >>----> ♥ xoxoxoxoxox
(Pic of David at the hospital holding his neice for the first time in February...he was really grungy from work, but he was so excited about meeting Kiley ☺)







I have not had a hair cut literally in a year and a half, so my hair went down almost to the small of my back.

It actually grew longer than this...this pic is a few months old now. I have really went a long time without doing something nice for myself and I'm beginning to realize this is a key to getting healthy. I was so happy to try on clothes...which is a first, but since I've lost some weight now it's already getting a little easier to shop. So, I got 3 new shirts and several inches cut off my mane and I have a few bangs now too. I'm thinking about dying my hair again as well, but it depends on how much I spend on shoes hubby says. lol It was a fun day and David really put effort into it. He didn't make me do anything for our kids this day. He made breakfast and lunch for the kids, put Enoch down for his nap and at bedtime, played with our kids, and then he still had energy enough to spend time w/ me later. ;) I think he was diggin my eyebrows being waxed finally the new haircut. lol I think I'm going to take a photo of myself soon so I can see if there's any difference b/t my before pic and after pic. I'm trying to work up the courage to post them on here, but I am super photo shy.

I am going grocery shopping today finally, so I'll have more fresh fruit and veggies in the house. So, you'll notice in these food logs that they are very carby. Somehow, I still lost weight. I've now lost 27.4lbs. Yay!

I haven't had nearly enough fruit or veggies in the past few days and that always makes a difference w/ how how much starchy stuff I crave, but like I said, this will improve once I get groceries today. Sorry I haven't replied to your comments yet, I will get to them by the end of the day. Thanks for coming by and I'll be stopping by your blogs soon as well. ☺ Had any scale victories or non scale victories lately? I'd love to hear.
