WW 5/4

I had a great start to the day at boot camp. It was SUPER HARD but so worth it! Then we got a sweet surprise at work when one of our friends in CA ordered pizzas for us and had them delivered around lunch. Thankfully, I counted points and didn't go overboard. I brought the rest of the pizza home for family dinner with Chris' parents and have had to make myself NOT have any! I'm CRAVING another piece!

Well, considering I over-ate and totally killed my points yesterday, I still managed to lose 3 lbs since last Monday. I'm guessing if I hadn't overdosed on food yesterday, I might've dropped a few more. I'll take it though! Encouraged to see 3 lbs slip away!!

Today was sweet with the kids. We were able to get out of the house for a little bit and managed to find a gas station that still had gas available and get a few things at the grocery store. Then we ventured out again for dinner to Chick-fil-a and met Chris there after he got off. 'Twas a great day off!

I just got of the treadmill after a fast-paced 30-min walk and 100 crunches on the exercise ball. And I'm gearing up for bootcamp tomorrow at 5AM.

Confession day! I blew it today. Yep. I promised Chris I'd make him some Starbucks-like blueberry scones and I couldn't resist the temptation to chow down when they came out of the oven. I was just gonna take a nibble to see how they turned out but they were soooo good. Then, I finished off a bag of chocolate chips....I had about 5 TBSPs which equals about 10 points. Sigh. Thankfully, I didn't blow it the rest of the day. I used self-control at dinner but to top it off, I haven't worked out either. Dang. Can you tell what I do when I'm stressed? EAT! Stressed because I was worried about Chris being out in the floods and storms. So thankful he's safe at home tonight when so many aren't.

Praying I won't let the guilt and shame from today carry over into tomorrow. My boss closed the office tomorrow so I get to spend the day with the kids again. YAY!!!

Blew my day....thank goodness for God's grace tomorrow!

Today has seriously been an insane weather day for Middle TN! It has rained almost non-stop all day and it's still pouring like crazy. So many areas around us are flooded and friends are having to evacuate their homes. And tomorrow is supposed to be worse. REALLY sad for Chris who has to work out in it all day tomorrow. Please pray for his safety.

I used too many flex points today and didn't get a workout in. As long as I get a workout in tomorrow (which I'm planning on), I'll be on track with my goal of exercising 5 days a week. Need to really watch my points more carefully tomorrow.

So thankful it's Friday! It's been a fun family day. We registered Brit for Kindergarten this afternoon and then had a nice family dinner at Jason's Deli and of course, ended up at Sweet Cece's again!

I got in about 15 minutes of strength training doing Dustin's Fit Moms for Life DVD (that you can get for FREE!) and then walked for 20 minutes on the treadmill.

It was such a gorgeous day here in Middle TN but the storms are coming! It's supposed to be nasty the rest of the weekend. Really hoping to get to the Farmer's Market tomorrow morning if it isn't pouring.

Hope you all had a great start to your weekend!

Little man (aka Thunder) woke up in the middle of the night with a bloody nose...poor baby gets them once or twice a month. I settled him back down after a few minutes and then overslept and didn't make it to boot camp. I did, however, just come in from a 30 minute walk/jog around our hilly neighborhood. Whew! It was super windy but the cool breeze felt so good.

My other blog FRUGALadee is finally up! It's really fun sharing stories, recipes, coupons, store deals, etc.!

I'm on day 4 back on WW and feel pretty good. Now that I'm eating less, I'm feeling hunger pains I haven't felt in years! :) It's good pain and so worth.

It's amazing how productive you can be when you get up early! I had a sweet quiet time, hit Harris Teeter at 6AM for their triple coupon deals, came back home and folded laundry and packed lunches all before 8AM. Even though I went to bed with a headache and it was still going strong when I woke up, I'm so thankful I didn't let it hold me back from getting up early! Normally, I would've used that as an excuse to stay in bed. Grateful for God's provisions and His timely healing.

I've really been tapping into my Flex points since I started back on WW Monday because I'm used to eating so much more during the day. Portion sizes are my struggle! Baby steps....

Off to work on my new blog...more details to come tomorrow!
