Switched for two months!

Nov 22, 2011

It is strange that it's only been two months. I feel like its been a lot longer. I did take pictures last month but I didnt think I looked much different. maybe this month will show something. The weight seems to be coming off in fits and starts. Of course this week I am not expecting much since last Saturday was my birthday and even though I got my protein in I had carrot cake for dessert. I have been nibbling at the single slice since then and threw it away tonight. Thanksgiving is on Thursday and we are having too much food. I will indulge in the dressing and cranberry sauce but concentrate on the protein. We are not huge turkey fans and since DH is British we are having a rib roast. I did get some turkey legs to roast but I don't know how they will turn out. All my son said he wanted was sweet potatoes. Great. 

So anyway...my energy seems to be picking up some. today I couldn't sit still. Son is sick with strep throat and I had to drag the poor thing to town for last minute errands. Even after we got home I cooked two or three things ahead of time for Thursday. of course my feet are complaining and I am wondering if this is the appearance of the fabled energy or if it was just adrenaline. I'm hoping for the former...I hate being such a slug! Our house is a pig sty and I want to clean but it has been so difficult.  Did get a start on the living room (I am shocked at how many Legos and Cheerios we had in our couch!) this past weekend so maybe it is the energy...I sure hope so!

Im struggling to remember to drink...I have contemplated getting a Camelback backpack like the hikers use. I think most of them hold around 70 ounces which would be ideal. At least I am not gagging at the taste of our tap water any longer! I'm happy to report that quirk seems to have gone away. I just have to make sure the water runs until it is really cold before I drink it. The bottled water was getting expensive and the packets of crystal light never did float my boat.

ok..I'm going to have to stop here. my IPad really doesn't like blogging on this site and watching the screen jump up and down is giving me a headache.
