I have done really well so far this week. Kept my calories under 1200 and ate only phase 2 foods. So far so good.

Our bathroom is still under construction!! UGH!! I just got done painting the laundry room part of it so my husband can move the washer and dryer back in. so atleast I can do laundry again without taking it to the in-laws. That is really annoying, especially with a family of four. I am used to doing a load of laundry everyday. So the last 2 weeks i have done only the neccessaties. But as of tomorrow i will be doing tons of laundry to catch up.

I am taking the kids and going to my sisters for a week. She was sent to the emergency room a week ago thinking she was having a stroke. Turns out she has a severe case of Bell's Palsy. She is on medical leave for 3 weeks and really down in the dumps, so I am going to go for a visit. The whole left side of her face is paralyzed. The dr's say it could take anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months to heal. We are just praying it heals itself. Most of the time with this, the nerves in your face heal, but there is always that chance they won't. She is only 29. But she is very overweight and unhealthy. All the Dr's have told her the same thing, lose weight, quit smoking and exercise. Duh!! She is not a good dieting influence usually, but she says she is dieting right now. so hopefully we will do it together this week. Since she is not feeling well, i will try and make dinner for us each night, so that should help.

Well, that's about it for now. Catch up later.
