TGIF...

Down .04...I will take that this week with NO complaints...not one...NO complaints...lol

I didn't work out once this week...it's just been one of those weeks I guess. Eating was in check so I guess that's my .04. I did steal an apple fritter from the kids the other day but that was my cheat for the week.

One more week of camp and then all the kids are home for the rest of the summer. It's gonna stress me right out. I can already feel the stress seeping in...uuuhhhggg.

August should be good with all the camping. I've been begging and pleading for better weather. It's been raining most of this week.

We went out on Tuesday and bought a 2010 Dodge Avenger. Hubby needed a new car for work. He's had the Sunfire for 7 years. I think it's a 98 though and it's been complaining a lot lately. We figured it's time. Of course I won't get to drive it much, but we are debating trading the van in for a new 2010. Now that would be sweet. We almost got a second van rather then the car. I kinda wish we would have but he's the one driving it so not my choice...

Anyway I guess that's my week...I've been on a Matthew Mcconaughey kick this week. No idea why...Failure to Launch, Surfer,Dude , Reign of fire and Tropical Thunder.

I also just started reading 'Her Fearful Symmetry' by Audrey Niffenegger. She wrote 'The Time Traveler's wife' which I loved. This book is turning into a fantastic read as well.

O.k. so that's all for now...
Make It A Good One :)

OMG....

Where did the time go? It's been a while...my bad!!!

We have been doing some camping with our new/old tent trailer. It's the bomb, the furnace was worth everything...It's so nice not to even think about being cold at night...I love it. We aren't going camping for the rest of July...there's too much else going on. Birthdays for the next 2 weekends and then the Capital Ex...twice because we want to see Hedley too. Then it's our yearly friend or foe BBQ....which gets a little crazy but always a lot of fun.

Then were into August and it's camping every Thursday through Sunday. Should be a good summer.

The kids are in church camp until July 23 as well, which runs from 9-4 everyday. Kind of like their still in school...which is nice...makes summer not so crazy around here. I totally forgot to weigh in last week...it probably wasn't good anyway...I remember chips which always spells bad weigh in...lol

Need to look for new recipes for camping so I'm off...

Make it a good one...

Friday's Weigh-In...

I have no idea what happen to my post on Friday...it just went POOF!!!!

It was short so not much was missed...lol EXCEPT -2.4 pounds
I was so excited because I stepped on the scale Monday morning and it said 176. OMG!!!

Not good...but turned out so good :)

The weekend was totally crazy...that daughter of mine. She stresses me out so much...I just what to punch her in the nose...Grrrrrr
It's like you try so hard to make her happy that some days that's all it's about...making Darian happy...I think we are all at our wits end. It's not like it's ever good enough anyway. Her room is a whole new story...Grrrrrrrrrrrr

It's sitting at +30 C here today with no wind...dang we had snow 4 wks ago...lol Albertan weather always a surprise :)

Eating was in control mostly...I had 3 drinks though...so I guess we'll see how this week goes...

Hubby is out of town for 2 days this week so I always eat better...lol

Well enough for now...
Make It A Good One :)

Another day...

It seems like one day is running into the another day and another day and before I know it a week has past and I don't remember it...one big blur!!! I haven't talked to my mom in over a week which I hate doing because she pulls a tude on me...lol She getting old and I worry too...:(

Were having Darian's and Donovan's family birthday party...So when is it too old to have family parties?? Darian is turning 13...which is a big one but should it be the last one? We are also having 6 of her friends for the party plus a sleepover...yippee(that's sarcastic...)lol Donovan's not having his party till July 10th...We've always held the family one together since their only 6 weeks apart.

So onward...eating is good...lots of salad this week. Except I made some homemade granola bars...not a good idea. They are so good...had 1 and a half of them today. Their the kids ones, not horrible. I cut them so they are only about 100 calories each...it's just then you think(or at least I do) that a couple or 3 or 4 won't hurt...yeah right!!!

Water is sitting around 75oz...still working of that one...

I rode the bike on Monday, did Zumba cardio on Tuesday and was planning on hitting the bike again today but time just got away from me...I need to get the menu done but I have a horrible habit of scouring the net for new recipes and ideas and before I know it 2 hours are gone...POOF!!! Just like that...

So that was my day...still no grocery list but my menus done...mostly...then picked up kids...rushed to get supper on the table by 5...turned into 5:30 and we were late to soccer at 6:15pm. I try so hard but I am always late. I know it's because of the running around trying to get the 1 other things that need to be done, done and make supper. Donovan has P.A.T's all week so it's been a fight with him as well. Studying for more then 30 minutes is a chore but these are 2 hour tests...

Now that I wrote it all down...I FEEL STRESSED OUT. I just want a break but I'm not seeing one anytime soon...

Uhhhgggggg...and it's Father's day on Sunday. I haven't done anything for that either and we have a soccer game at 5:00 that day...I was hoping to go out for supper but I don't know if that's going to happen...

Well enough bitching and complaining for one day...

Make It A Good One:)

Changing it up...

I think it's time to change things up a bit...just not quite sure how yet.

I know I need to drink more water...I am a self confessed coffee-holic. I love my coffee and won't give it up. I am trying to cut back(trying being the operative word) and some days are better then others. So I am going to shoot for 100 oz. I am sure I will have to work up to that but work up I will...so a few questions...I have no problem putting down about 50 oz of plain water and then YUCK...so can I do crystal light packs and fruit water for the rest just adding in the calories? I feel like it's cheating...

So the weekend wasn't to bad...yeah...not to great either.I will confess too a few nachos on Saturday. If was just an off day. Soccer tournament...which meant 4 games between them...so we had breakfast then 2 games, a late lunch, then 2 games...a late supper which nobody wanted because we had been outside in +31 weather all day...so we just made the kids nachos and hubby had a burger...I had a salad with the leftover grilled chicken and a few nachos...loaded with green pepper and green onions. A little cheese...don't use much because it adds up when there are 3 or 4 layers of chips...

So I did get on the bike today...14 km...and now I'm off to soccer AGAIN!!!!

Make It A Good One :)
