had such a busy day!
I volunteer on the base for family readiness (we are there to help families when members get deployed) and I went w/our coordinator to the Navy base to watch how they do a pre-deployement briefing.
Then I went to lunch...had a salad.
Came to work and jumped right in. Tons to do so really can't write much. Just wanted to say I hope you all are having a happy Friday.

Can you say Tired?
I am tired today. I have no idea why. Went to bed @ 10...woke up @5:30 w/the kids but then got them back down for another 30 minutes. That is actually pretty normal so nothing there to make me extra tired. I feel okay. Just tired.
One more thing to add to the list to make me hungry. Being tired. I think it is my bodies way of trying to get enough energy to start the day.
I made my coffee extra strong today and am going to down a glass of water in a minute to try and get going.
Okay, enough whining about that stuff. Read all the comments and really want to thank you all for the support. It is super helpful and appreciated!

Made it thru the day!
I made it yesterday...and yes, I did dip into my flex points but again, everything was healthy and good for me so I feel okay about it.
Not really sure why I was so hungry but I was so I ate...making sure to take breaks to see if I really was still hungry.
On a brighter note, my neighbor is doing better and has been moved out of the ICU. I am so glad. I don't think I could handle the stress of something else bad happening right now.
Packed and ready for the day.
More later.

Snacking
Definately a good thing that I packed enough snacks today. I think I might go into my weekly points this evening, but I am good with that. I am at least eating and making HEALTHY choices. Not an easy task when there is so much crap where you work. There are over 300 employees here and they are always bringing things for people to eat...sugary, flourery, bad for you things.
STEP AWAY from the treats!
On with my day.

I am really HUNGRY!
What is up with that? I was starving all day yesterday, and I ate a lot! Fortunately it was all healthy stuff, but still. I even went to bed hungry and woke up first thing hungry. I just ate breakfast, had a cup of coffee and downed a bottle of water. I am going to wait about 20 minutes to make sure that I am still hungry, but I don't get it.
I am eating protein and dairy products as well as fiber filled things.
How am I supposed to lose weight if I am always hungry?
On a not so happy note...my neighbor, who I have known my entire life and is like a second mother to me is in the ICU. She is very sick and they just don't know if she is going to make it. 3 of her daughters are here and the 4th will be in tonight.
I hate this.

Weekly Weigh In...
Well, the numbers are in and.....
I
am
DOWN!!!!
3.3 lbs.
The planning this week really paid off. I did get yelled at by WWO for losing more than 2lbs but oh well...I think a lot must have been water weight. Now just to lose that 1.7 lbs to get rid of the 5 lbs I gained. Got the week mapped out, made some yummy and HUGE 2 pt muffins from a HungryGirl recipe and the day is ready to begin.
I do have a sore throat tho so we will see. More later.

Weekend eating
I really find, that on the weekends I tend to eat more. I think it is b/c I am home and kind of bored. Not in a bad way, just not constantly working.
Today I made lunch for the family. I made corndogs & mac & cheese for dh, toddler and other toddler. I made myself a grilled cheese and carrots. I put the plates on the table, we all sat down and the oldest toddler says "I want a sandwich and carrots."
Perplexed I looked to dh for guidance...he was lookinng at ds like he had a 2nd head and I thought "hell no, not sharing!" and then I passed my plate over and offered him some. He took 1/2 the sandwich and 1/2 the carrots.
I was definately hungry at the end of the meal, but I felt good that my ds is able to ask for healthier choices. I was taking the easy way out for him and I really shouldn't do that. Nice little reminder. Oh, and the look and dh's face...priceless.
