These past few weeks have been crazy. My 15 month old son was diagnosed with Strep throat, double ear infection and the early stages of Scarlet Fever (Scarletina rash). My 9 yr old just returned from her travels to Texas and Colorado and every state in between. I finally picked her up from the airport Tuesday with baby Michael who got pretty carsick along the way. I got lots of AP that day (if I were counting). Airport Drama! I've been working lots of overtime to get caught up on medical bills.… Continue

I was doing so well with eating and drinking water, then my baby got sick and man did that stress me out. I haven't eaten any junk...just maybe too much food in general. The water has been traded back in for caffeine and I am exhausted. I'm hoping that things will be better tomorrow (hes been on antibiotics since yesterday). I know that I haven't gained but I'll be doing well to post a loss. I haven't really been shopping like I usually do and everything is just running off the tracks. Luckily,… Continue

I changed it up a little this week and went to primarily soups and salads. I buy the Progresso Minestrone, it's really great and low points.

I was apparantly holding a lot… Continue

For the first time since starting WW, the scales have not moved!! I'm smack dab in the middle of TOM and bloated up like a puffer fish. I have done everything that I'm supposed to do. I haven't had any sweets whatsoever. I want to chalk it all up to TOM, but I'm wondering if I could have done something different..I don't want to go through this again next month. I guess I'll just really start pushing water. This is the first week that I haven't posted a loss and it's just aggravating. My family… Continue

I'm feeling kind of Suzy Homemakerish today. I found a cool link to free apron patterns. I put it below for anyone who is interested. I'm thinking about making some up and putting them with a recipe, pan, and a whisk or something for Christmas gifts. I guess you could do up a bbq style set for a man. It looks like some good quality mommy and me time for me and DD. I'm doing well on the eating front, staying busy with cleaning and getting the kids packed for their trip to TX and CO to see their a… Continue
