I've left you in suspense...

Hi all! So sorry to keep you waiting! I did not mean to have such a extended break between my posts. Our laptop has been very, very moody. All of my previous posts were done on the ipad and that is a pain in the booty. (side note: Ace calls the ipad the ipatch. yes, my children are hilarious). Long story short, I think I've got the laptop fixed. At least for a little while! Hopefully posts will be much more frequent!

I know you've been DYING in anticipation of my weigh in. My first weigh in was on 1/7. The scale conveyed exactly what I wanted to see! I was down 4.5lbs. I was so excited.

The week following was ok. Not really bad, not really great. I ate for pretty healthily during the day. I ate like a champ during the day. But when the stressful afternoon hours came around, I snacked unwisely. I know that to be successful at loosing the amount of weight that I want to lose, I've got to get this under control. When I weighed in this past Saturday, (Jan. 14) I had lost 1 pound. I'm glad I lost that pound, but know I can do better.

I'm back on it this week. I went to Trader Joe's today and stocked up on some better snack choices. It was my first trip to Trader Joe's. I am so in love. So, so in love. I hate that it isn't closer to the house. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to start making bi-weekly trips there. Love their prices AND their selection! So nice!

GOALS for the week:
-wake up daily @ 6 so I can spend some unrushed time with the Lord
-must go to bed by 10pm so I can get up at 6am =)
-exercise!!!
-water, water, water
-make some more yummy & healthy banana bread
-better snack choices

Dinner this week:
Tuesday- Weight Watcher's Bubble Up Enchiladas  (I'll be using lean ground sirloin, not turkey)
Wednesday- Skinny Taste Taco Chicken
Thursday- Healthy baked chicken nuggets, trader joe's mac & cheese, green beans
Friday- Who am I kidding? I haven't planned that far!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! I'll be checking in more often this week. Here we go!!!
