Sorry I haven't posted for a few days.  I have something in my eye and I have been bothered with it making it hard to see the computer.  But...it is better today.  I weighed myself on Sunday and I lost a pound.  I am so HAPPY!!!  I went 2 weeks in a row with a weight loss.  It may only be a pound but I'll take it over gaining any day of the week. 

I wasn't able to help Bill with the doors over the weekend.  There was nothing for me to do.  So I just watched...lol  Spring break is just around the corner and we are gonna remodel our bathroom.  I KNOW he is gonna put me to work most likely painting.  I should make him do it since he is going to school to learn all that building trades stuff but I really want to help.  I have all this energy and want to use it to be productive.  Today I am washing 3 loads of laundry and I know for most people this is nothing new but like I have said before Bill usually does the laundry cause it USED to be so hard for me.  But I am finding myself able to do more and more.  The weight is coming off slower than I expected but I am gaining more energy than I expected.  I don't know if that is normal but I'll take it.

Bill had me add another exercise to my routine.  So now I walk from the office to the kitchen and back 3 times a day without sitting down.  The first day it was a killer but today.....not so bad.  I need to do more for my arms.  They aren't very strong.  It is amazing how weak your muscles become when you don't use them and how hard it is to get them back to strength. 

One thing I find very difficult to deal with is evening meals and I was talking to Bill about this and we came up with a plan.  I am gonna take Thursday & Friday and cook up 4 different meals (2 crock pots & 2 casseroles) and then when they cool off I am going to divide them individual portions marked with the point count.  I am so excited.  We even talked about buying a seal-a-mail machine so we can freeze them and then make it easier for having supper on the nights Bill is gone.  So wish me luck with this.  I have found 4 recipes from the cookbook my dad sent me for Valentine's day.  It already has the point values figured out if you follow the recipe exactly.  So this weekend I will go shopping for the ingredients and then make them up.  We both really hope this helps us in watching our portion sizes.

I will say I have lost the taste/desire for chocolate.  I used to crave chocolate after every meal but now I just don't want it.  Maybe it's all in my mind that I know if I start on chocolate I won't stop or maybe my taste buds have changed.  I just don't know.  But at least I don't want it anymore.

Well I'm off to fold the clothes.  Hope you all have a great day.  Life is good!!!
