A Clue!

I'm going to give you a clue to where I have been the past few days. My sister had her baby. Look at this beautiful baby girl. I just love her so much! I can't wait to cuddle her again. Her birth made for a bit of a crazy week but of course it she was so worth it. I made her the little hair clip that she is wearing in the picture above. She looks so cute with it on!This is the blanket that I

New Food Find and New Food Addiction!

BroccoSprouts! And lots of them!!! I love these things. I just wish I would have discovered them sooner. I ate them on a chicken salad sandwich yesterday and today on a turkey and cheese sandwich. It gives the sandwich a nice texture and makes it way more filling. Did I mention that the flavor of these sprouts are awesome! I really can't say enough good about them. I have found my new food

Mindless Munching and Yesterday's Eats

The last two days have been pretty rough. I forgot how hard it is to stick to my Points. I have been overly exhausted the last few days because I think I have another sinus infection. That always seems to wear me out. Of course by 7pm I need to munch to stay awake. I guess it is just another one of those things I need to work through.On Sunday I did awesome until after dinner when we decided to

I Figured It Out ..... Please Help!

When I stepped on the scale a few days ago I weighed 189 lbs. Yep, that's what the scale said. Shocker, kind of. With the way I have been eating I am surprised I am not up to 200. I realized then that I need to get a handle on this before I gain all of my weight back. At that point I started trying to figure out what I did differently when I was still losing. Something that I did then but don't

A Cute Little Butterfly!

It was a busy, busy weekend! My oldest daughter competed in her first Odyssey of the Mind competition. Her team did great! They didn't win any awards but I was one proud Mamma that day. It was amazing to see my little six year old on stage preforming in front of so many people. She was so calm, spoke loudly, remembered all of her lines, and looked adorable. Here are some pictures of her team from

You Won't Believe It!

I had a rough weekend full of migraines but as of today I feel great and migraine free. I didn't watch what I ate because of not feeling well but I don't think I overdid it. I didn't step on the scale this morning so I am hoping I didn't gain anything.You will never believe what I did yesterday! I got back on my treadmill. Not only did I get back on but I ran! It felt great! I know you are
