The weekend....

How have things been going since I last was here??

Friday was a busy day for me.  I had my workout out in my barns, where once a week I do a complete clean out and change over.  It's usually about 3 hours of shovelling out a combination of shavings and manure over about 3000 square feet, Shovel, Shovel, lift, carry, Shovel....it's all very physical work and I am usually sweating pretty good by the time it is finished and generally need a recovery day afterwards that I may plan a quiet computer day or something.  When I finished out there I had 8 little Dalmatian puppies to bath, dry, phtograph and video graph with the kids and of course supper to make.   Breakfast/lunch was a peanut butter bun with banana.  Supper was spaghetti Squash and brussel sprouts with salt and pepper. 

Saturday I decided I wanted a lazy day with a book that I needed to read for my book club meeting today.  I spent a relaxing morning, got up and did my biggest loser workout and then went back to reading my book.  We also managed a couple other projects that worked out quite well.  It was nice to be able to relax for a change.   Lunch was a pickle and a glass of milk.  Supper was a chicken stirfry that I ate over about 1/2 a cup of rice. 

Sunday was an okay day.  I won in some area and not in others.  I have read as part of most diets it's good to have one day a week where you have a free day and make sure you eat within reason but foods you wouln't nomally eat on your diet, so that your body doesn't feel it is starving, slow down your metabolism and store fat.   I had decided that I wanted to get some baking down as we were running low on buns and I bake the family supply myself.  While the buns were raising I figured I better make the kids some cookies for lunches as well.  I did excellent.  The kids were my official cookie tasters, although I admit over the course of the day I did eat 4 myself.  Lunch was a ham bun before we went off to get in a good swim before coming home and eating ham, lettuce, cheese and tomato buns.  I had three and then, sinc emy freezer was now filled with cookies and buns, I needed to help my husband eat the last two peices of icecream cake.  Yum.  So not a great day, but it was a nice and relaxed day.

Today is Monday and therefore official weigh in day.  I am down 5 pounds from last Monday!  This makes me happy and I am almost bouncing over to the TV in order to do the biggest loser workout again.
