Tag...I'm it...
My first ever tag...thank Christy (Fusion 51)
Ten Years Ago
Hmm, 1998...I think I was working a job that I loved. Yes, this job that I hate now was that job. I was spending a lot of time at the beach and partying a lot. My, how 10 yrs can change you.
5 Things on Today's To Do List
1. Finish job application (working on it, dh is checking it as I type)
2. Do the dishes (done, twice...how do 4 people create so much mess?)
3. Laundry (last load in the washer...again, how do 4 people create so much mess?)
4. watch my soap (from Friday. Yes, I am addicted, have been since I was 9ish. GH for those that want to know my sick obsession-oh, not starting that until the job app. is done).
5. Water the lawn (ugg, I just fogot this had to be done. I hate chores).
I just realized my life is an entire chore.
Snacks I Enjoy
does everything count? Okay, seriously, my favs are frozen grapes (red ones), popcorn, redvines, fiberone bars, watermelon, and my all time fav...ice cream. Just about any kind will do.
Things I would do if I was a millionaire
Pay bills, pay off my house, buy a bigger house, furnish my house. Help family members. Tithe (is that how you spell it) some to church, some to military, some to breast cancer research, some to alzheimers research. Put money away for dh & I, and each of my kids as well as a former foster daughter.
Play...travel, shop, enjoy.
Oh, buy a more fuel efficient car. I understand that I might not have problems filling things up if I were a millionaire, however, I think I will always be a cheapskate so there you have it...
Okay, so I get to tag someone now and since I only have a few people that I know read me regular...yep, Amanda (My Life...in a blog ) that is you. (I fully expect this to be done first thing tomorrow morning...ha, ha, ha!)

Old Mother Hubbards Cubbards.
I haven't been to the store in 2 weeks so my cupbards look a little like old mother hubbards. My fridge was unstocked and there was only 1 apple left, which my son decided that he wanted for breakfast.
I was not prepared for the day and oh my, have I snacked and snacked and snacked. I have a yummy dinner planned out and almost cooked. I *think* I will be good for points today. If nothing else, I can dip into my flex...but I am also supposed to go out. Hmmm...how to handle this...
Oh well, I can drink water and depending on where we go manage with little to no snacks. Unless we decide to go see a flick. Then I have to have popcorn. It is a requirement.
Okay, so the point of this random post is to remind you all to keep your cubbards fully stocked with yummy, low point, low fat snacks and your fridge full of wonderful fruits and veggies.
Off to finish dinner.

You're shrinking!
Ack! Help! I am apparently the incredible shrinking woman...no, wait...that is what I want! I had 2 people today tell me that I was shrinking and one said how funny I looked swimming in my shirt. Don't you love those comments?
I was just thinking yesterday that I am now officially "smaller" than I was last year at my low point and then everyone made comments on how much I had lost and how much smaller I was (although, smaller is relative) and that this time no one seemed to be noticing. I was thinking that maybe my "loss" seemed less this time b/c I am not exercising. Well, today I got those lovely words.
***edited to add...yes, Miz Fit...I know I SHOULD be exercising and I will be trying to add the exercise in very soon***
Oh, on to something funny. I went to work this morning and jumped in as usual. Threw my english muffin in the toaster and was on my way. Got super busy and at lunch time my boss says "whose muffin is in the toaster?" I look up and realize, it was mine. I totally forgot to eat and didn't even miss it. I know...I should have ate something but I really just forgot. And for me to forget to eat it is something else b/c I usually am starving. Does that mean my stomach is getting used to smaller amounts so it really didn't miss it when I had my cup of coffee with it?
Hope you all are doing well!

Any ideas for easy lunches?
I need to be able to pack easy lunches for our camp but I don't have a way to keep them cool. I have a very small ice pack I can use. I have been packing 4 pt PB&J's. A yogurt and veggies. Sometimes a fiber one bar too. I am getting a little bored.
I packed a bbq chicken salad today. I put lettuce, coleslaw (no dressing), red onions, tomato and chicken in a dish. I mixed my own dressing using low sugar/fat bbq sauce and ff ranch that I dipped my fork into. I only used 2 oz of chicken so what...3 pts?
Just need some quick easy ideas that can be packed up with little problems and isn't too messy to eat. I am not a big fan of meat sandwiches...love veggie ones but they make such a mess by the time you try to eat them.
Anyhoo...thought I would ask for some help. Thanks!

Hi guys!
Busy, busy, busy!!! I think I have said that before. I am doing great with the eating tho...been packing my lunches and sticking to super healthy snacks and dinners. (well, except for my ice cream addiction that seems to come out in full force when the weather is hot).
I have stayed in points and can I tell you how much I love summer?
We grilled both days this weekend. Clean up rocks and the food is fab. Also, good for you. Nothing quite like grilled corn on the cob, onions and zuchinni. Yummy. The best part is that my kids love it all too, well, except for the onions...but then when the toddler says "mommy, your breath is stinky I don't want kisses" I guess I can't blame them.
Happy days all! Hope you are doing well! Sorry I haven't been able to check in with you all, I am a bad blogging buddy these days, but I promise to catch up soon. Later!

Weekly Weigh In...
Weight change since your last recorded weight
-1.9 lbs
Total weight change to date
-27.3 lbs
So there you have it. I drank TONS of water this weekend in an effort to stay hydrated and keep my loss up and it seems to have worked. I am actually below the weight I was last summer when I hit my low...before the mindless eating and being unaccountable began! Woot!!!!!
Wanted to thank my girls for slapping my hand. The application is almost done, I just have someone proof reading it now. I hope to fed-ex it by the end of the week...the position closes on the 2nd so I think by Thursday should be good.
