Dh left for work at 4:45 am. DD work up at 5am screaming, but fortunately was able to go back to sleep. Me, not so much. Ds woke up at 6 in a fine mood. Yelling at me, peeing his pants 3 times, pushed me, pushed his sister and then his sister got up and puked all over me. All before 7:30 am. I need coffee.
I cleaned her up an she seemed fine. Ds continued to be quite the angel and I got dinner started in the crockpot for the night. DD puked again, ds peed again and I really need calgon to take me away.
It is times like this I want chocolate. It makes me feel better. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I hate being so reliant on food.
Oh well. DD is asleep. My sister came and took ds to the store and now I am trying to clean up. I ate a huge bowl of watermelon to try and curb my chocolate craving. Not quite working but not as bad as it was. I think I will go grab a fiber one bar.

Chicken for breakfast?
So, this is the commercial I heard on the radio this morning.
Chicken for breakfast...from McDonald's. Hmmmmm, It is actually a Southern Style Chicken Biscuit that they are serving. That brings up the concept of chicken fried steak and lots of gravy. One of those breakfast I have been fortunate enough not to like but I know people who always order it.
I then had to look up the nutritional info on line, because that is the way my mind works these days.
So here it is...
Total: 420 calories; 20 g of fat; 8 g of saturated fat; 1 g of trans fat; 35 mg of cholesterol; 1200 mg of sodium; 41 g carbohydrates; 2 g dietary fiber; 18 g protien
For those counting points that would be 10 of them. Yikes!!!!
I am amazed at the newer, "better tasting" items that are being created. I actually have no doubt that this will probably be a popular item as my husband is famous for ordering things like that but at the same time, I am slightly appalled. We wonder where we went wrong when most of our nation (including me and a lot of my family) are overweight or obese. Why we are fighting heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. This is truly one of those "yuck" moments for me.
Oh well, thank goodness for sites like Roni's (Roni's page) and her green lites bites (which I don't have the link for, sorry) or swizzles page (Swizzlepops meal ideas) or the Hungry Girl site and cookbook Hungry Girl Cookbook, mothers day and self control (which I reviewed in a previous blog). These are all places I go to get old favorites with a new healthy twist.

Weekly Weigh In...
Weight change since your last recorded weight
-0 lbs
Total weight change to date
-19.4 lbs
GREAT JOB for logging your weight! We notice that you've gained a little this week. You should know that gaining weight every now and then is a natural part of the weight-loss journey. Here are our tips for getting back on track:
Ummm, can you explain how a ZERO loss is considered a gain? WWOL said it was. I think that is incorrect. I am on track. I logged everything this week and came out with some flex points left. I didn't eat as many veggies as I normally do this weekend tho so I think that is a big part of it. Also I didn't drink all my water yesterday and that usually plays a big part in it too. And...at the end of a WEEK Tom finally left...so there! All my excuses for not losing this week.
Why can I have awesome weeks and then weeks that get me nothing!
Grrr....oh well, I am in this to be healthy and losing weight is a bonus, right?
