So I get to take meds for the next 10 days that make me feel like crap and make me groggy. Thank the Lord my husband is home. Otherwise Id be in trouble.

I have had a mystery infection that keeps coming back over the last few months, which I also thought was a UTI but the tests have been negative so I don't know what is wrong with me... headscratch.gif

 

I just joined the 1 Million Kilo Challenge, to lose some weight too, so I'll join you in cheering each other on! carrot.gif

 

Today so far:

 

got my new hearing aids!

emptied dishwasher

finished some artwork

Today my list is going to be short

 

GO to work

( I clean houses for a living and I have a new client today to clean for)

So I will be so tired when I get home I wont want to do anything but make frozen pizza.  Cleaning a house for the first time is very tiring and they have never had a professional housecleaner before.

Sounds about right!!  I'm still on it b/c I have a few vanity pounds left, and would like to get lower.  

My word of advice to you is don't not eat and save your points til later in the day.  Eat all day long like you normally would, and only spend about 8-10 points on dinner.  If you dip into your weekly points at the end of the day, its not a big deal, you'll still lose weight.  But if you hold on to points just to use 20 on dinner, you'll feel miserable and you might not lose as quickly.

 

Oki - i hope you feel better soon!

 

CW - Woo hoo, cheering you on as well!!

 

AFM - I caught DD's cold.  I don't feel like doing ANYTHING.  We'll see what I can do today after some coffee and 1/2 a benedryl.

I did my first offical 15-minute cleaning session. In which I put on the 3rd load of laundry for today (bedsheets), divided the washed black laundry into to-air-dry and to-tumble-dry and got that drying, wiped the kitchen table after lunch and even wiped the chairs around the table before the time was up. :D

In coffee and things I use splenda or stevia packets.  But for baking I'll use sugar.  And I still eat things with sugar in it if I'm having a treat.  I'm vegan so I have to say it probably helps that I don't eat a lot of heavy stuff anyway (but gained 50 lbs with this last pregnancy so I sure do love eating).

 

  • drank 2 cups of coffee
  • emptied dishwasher
  • changed 2 diapers
  • loaded dishwasher

 

This might be a long day!  lol.gif
