It's been awhile...

Jul 05, 2014

Hey everyone! Happy belated 4th... hope everyone was safe and had fun. It was a quiet day for me, which is just fine since I am not a huge fan of the 4th. My parents were both out of town and my hubby wanted to go visit his family in Oklahoma. I didn't go with him because I had plenty to do here, so he took one of the dogs (the younger, more energetic one) and left me here with the older one, which is just fine with me. I have been enjoying my quiet time, and I am getting some stuff done, which is nice. So last night, my pup and I just huddled together in a corner in our mutual dislike of fireworks. Lol... not really, but I do hate fireworks. Maybe part of it comes from growing up with a doctor (mom) who always told me about all the injuries they saw on the 4th of july. I also don't like loud noises... so theres that.

Today was a nice day too. I have been having some family problems and was feeling really depressed about that, so today I had coffee with a friend and that helped to cheer me up. Also, I've really been in the mood to cook, as it is really theraputic for me, so I have been trying some new recipes, and I have been happy with them all so far. Last night, I made 2 things that I found on eggface's blog- for dinner, I made strawberry cheesecake protein pancakes (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2008/04/strawberry-cheesecake-pancakes.html) and for dessert I made carrot cake (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2008/11/more-5-minute-cake.html.) I was really happy with how they both turned out! I wasn't sure about the pancakes at first because I don't like cottage cheese, but they were so yummy! Today for dinner I am making coconut beef curry soup in the crock pot (http://twosleevers.com/2014/06/slow-cooker-coconut-ground-beef-curry/) I'll let you know how that is... but it smells good! 

I am looking forward to another lazy day tomorrow! Oh, and today I weighed in at 209 lbs! It's so surreal to me how close I am to the 100's... a number I haven't seen on the scale since high school! I can't believe I have come this far in such a short time... I keep waiting to screw something up... lol. It just seems like this journey has been too "easy" for me... even though I know damn well that it hasn't been! I don't know... I guess it just seems to good to be true... I'm so scared I'm gonna start screwing things up.
