Whatcha Eating on Friday?

Hi all! I slept all day after work. Afterwards, i had to tend to my friend because he wasn't feeling good. You know how men get when they're sick...all of a sudden they're gonna die. After babysitting him, me and one of my girlfriends had a late dinner. Here's what I had between work and today: 12 a.m.- 3 oz. chicken marsala, 2 tbsp rice pilaf, 1 tbsp green beans 4 a.m.- protein hot chocolate 23g protein 6:30 a.m.- Qsmart bar 4 p.m.- 1 oz. RF cheese, 5 RF ritz crackers, 3 cucumber slices w/ RF ranch drsg and 4 oz. CC milk 1/2 hour later 9 p.m.- 3 oz. smothered chicken, 2 tbsp mashed potatoes, few broccoli pcs. and a couple bites of bread from applebee's. I did pretty good with food today. I was kinda on the move so I didn't have time to snack every 5 minutes! But overall, I was happy with today. April

Happy Friday, everyone! I had a fun day! First I went to a close friend, JoAnn's place, and she has lost 20 pounds on a diet and doing fitness classes and such...but she feels great and Im happy for her as she is thrilled for me! Id brought several(5) outfits to show her to help me decide what to wear and she wanted to accessorize them from her extensive jewelry collection...yay, shopping channel! I took her some clothes that were passed on to me but are too short to cover my lymphodemic legs or they are colours I cant wear like beige and pale colours so she was happy to get new things to wear...then she brought out something for me to try on...to wear to a wedding Im attending September 9th.. A long black slinky skirt that flared at the bottom and a sweater set of gold and black sparly print...gorgeous but I'd never have even tried it on because Im blonde and always thought that the gold would make my hair look brassy. Well, shows you what I know! OMG! the flared skirt pulled the eye away from my hip area(where all that loose skin is hanging) and the gold top(tank top & jacket) was just the right length and IT IS STUNNING! I looked 50 pounds thinner! I kid you not! I started to cry just looking at myself in the full-length mirror!...I couldn't tear my eyes from the mirror..I didn't look like me...not the me I knew....but a pretty and thinner me!! So we decided that I will wear THIS outfit to the wedding (Jo hasn't even worn it yet..what a great best friend!)...just long black dangley earrings are needed. I need new black shoes with a small heel....mine are too BIG now! I still cant believe it was me in the mirror! I have a hair appointment the morning of the wedding....I think I will wear it UP with lots of loose messy curls and tendrils and maybe I will even get my makeup done professionally. AND pictures too!! Woo hoo! I felt so pretty in this outfit! After that fun, I drove across the city and had my annual mammogram...what fun...lol...then headed home, stopping at the farm to give my list of customer emails to the secretary to type out for me and arrived home in time to see JB and Derek dismantling Zeus's pen and rebuilding it more compact since he runs loose all day under "Invisible Fence"....he just spends the night in his pen and has a very comfy insulated dog house INSIDE the little barn that the pen is attached to. I finally went inside to eat my lunch and suddenly I heard a HUGE BANG! I went outside to see what happened and a huge dead tree, about 35 feet tall, had apparently only been held upright by the now dismanteled dog pen and it fell across the driveway.....fortunately, JB saw it coming, yelled for Derek to run , which he did..and the tree came down and crashed onto the concrete heavily.....crushing the recycle bins that were just outside the breezeway door and just missing the front half of my car parked just a few feet away! Ah well, I ALMOST got a new car, well a COMPACT!! All too much excitement for me..I went upstairs and had a nap...two hours later, I woke up as Derek was barbequing garlic shrimp outside.....I quickly made the rest of the dinner and this is what Rufus got today!
