Got to meet two special little girls today - my sister and BIL are hoping to be able to adopt them out of foster care - we have their whole family (they have two kids already) over for brunch. They are such sweet girls and I pray they become part of our family soon!

Now its time for some home projects. We redid our bedroom in December and my hubby is finally hanging some things on the walls that I've been asking for! :)

HW: 270   SW: 245   CW: 172  GW: 160 then we'll see  

    

    

We woke up and went to church which was awesome as usual. Then we went and did some back to school shopping.

Now the girls are both knocked out (their dad let their sleep schedules get waaaaay off kilter but we'll get that fixed!).

One exciting thing is that my 13 year old seems to have embraced that genetically she is not in the type of body that will allow her to wear sub-par bras. We took her for a fitting and got her some GOOD bras. Are you ready for this. My THIRTEEN YEAR OLD wears a 36 DDD (yes, I said triple). Sigh...I am a double but I at my highest weight I was an H cup. She's not a huge girl (she's thick but not huge) but she comes by that cleavage honestly. Sigh...

Eats so far:

1. Click + skim + sf coconut syrup & sf caramel syrup
2. Some pretzels and Cheez-Its at church
3. Some peanuts
4. Some cottage cheese w/ PB2 and Fiber One

Went back to work today (Starbucks) for the first time since surgery. In one word it was Exhausting! I'm an opener so I'm usually exhausted at the end of a shift but I was way done after 4 hours on my feet running around and lifting heavy coffee pots. Happy to be back on a schedule but it was not easy!

Hanging out with my mom tonight because her surgery is TOMORROW! She's freaking out but I'm so happy for her and excited to be going through this process with her.

 Went to Mass yesterday so I could go to the Movies ans see Sparkle. It was good but I still love the original. Home now making meatballs for dinner. And Relaxing for the rest of the day
 Slept and slept this morning.
Taught class, then off to my aunt's birthday party.
I made her cake--two layers of chocolate fudge cake, with a layer of flourless chocolate cake in between. 

Tonight, tamle pie for dinner, and wii games with the family.  Then home to tidy up and lay around and chillax.

Highest weight: 269.  Surgery weight: 233.  Goal weight: 144, and then we'll see.. 

It is my birthday weekend (tomorrow is my 40th!) so I gave myself free rein on food. And have experienced restriction, RH, and dumping on foods I have eaten dozens of times in the past year. Really?
Last night when I went to help my mom I started sweating so much it was rolling down my back. I sat in front of her window AC and my hands and legs started shaking. She checked my blood sugar and it was 56.
Today my folks took me to Ryan's Buffet to eat -they have decent steak for a buffet. I ate about 2oz and was done. Then a little later we had birthday cake (chocolate w/ chocolate icing) and ice cream. I told my mom I wanted regular - not sugar free - because last week I had regular ice cream cake and did fine.
Well, I didn't have a major dumping episode, but I felt like someone hooked an air compressor to my guts and blew me up like a beach ball.... then my guts said oh hey, no likey the chocolate and punished me.
Working until midnight - 1am and then I am OFF work for a WEEK!!!

Triathlon training was canceled because of a storm just offshore.


My breakfasts were thinking I had Tri trainign:
B1 - click w/ skim milk
B2 - ww waffle w / peanut butter and banana
L - little steak, little chicken, few green beans. Dangit ;)
s - chocolate cake and ice cream
D - maybe nothing, if anything leftover steak
S - probably nothing, or Quest

We got a chi/rat terrier mix, she is so cute and tiny!

Soft foods are ok lol.  I think I was trying too fast to eat foods that weren't as soft as they should be.  I made some lentil soup tonight and I cannot wait to eat it!!!!
