Well, my new plan must be working, lol!
Actually, Monday night we went to the Farmer's Market (got some corn and cucumbers, yay!) which is always followed by a yummy trip to Erma's (remember the yummy hamburger I mentioned a couple weeks ago? Yeah, had another one!) Got home late and was tired so I didn't follow my cleaning schedule for the day, but it's okay. I did Monday's and Tuesday's chores last night, so I'm back on schedule. :) I'm really liking this cleaning schedule throughout the week rather than putting it all off until Saturday!
Dusted the entire house plus vacuumed the entire house. Not to mention that I fixed a yummy supper. So excited--I went to bed with a clean kitchen, clean floors, and the boys even cleaned their rooms! And did I mention that I went to bed at 9:30?! Wow, what a successful day!
Then to wake up this morning and see a 2 lb loss...can't get any better!
This evening I will be scrubbing the kitchen. It's hard work, but it is actually my favorite chore. I love spending time in my kitchen. It relaxes me. :)
Splurging a little at lunch today--they're having open faced turkey sandwiches at work and that's one of my comfort foods. But I've already got it logged and have a healthy, simple dinner planned and will be fine calorie-wise. Feeling good today and feel like I can conquer the world. Have a great day everybody!
*Hugs!*
EDIT: My sister and mother have insisted I need to eat lunch with them today. Therefore, I have updated my food diary and it is actually better (calorie-wise) than the original. I just hope it tastes as good. :)

That's all great news! Hope this schedule works well for you because I might he having to implement one in September for my kiddos as we will be homeschooling this year.

My revised lunch was so much tastier than my originally planned lunch. Definitely glad I listened to my mom and sister!! Feeling great today. Gonna go home and scrub my kitchen. One thing I found out last night. I can't use the treadmill after cleaning floors. Maybe it's just from the extra weight, but ever since my babies were born and I had an epidural, I have to rest after sweeping or vacuuming because I have a horrible pain in my spine. Therefore, Tuesday nights and Friday nights will be my rest nights from exercising because Tuesday is cleaning floors and Friday is grocery shopping. I'm always tired when I get home from grocery shopping--probably because I take 3 hours. :)

Hey Diana, good luck on the homeschooling. There's no way I could do that, and I have a third as many kids as you! I love my boys, but I don't have the patience for homeschooling. I'm too much of a perfectionist.

We don't want our kids being led astray by the world. We don't like that God has been taken out of the school and we also don't like common core curriculum.

Yes, I definitely agree with you about today's public school system. I wish I had the patience and time to homeschool...or the money to put my boys in Christian school. But we do what we can, and try to get them with a teacher who I know won't allow the bad habits that I don't want my boys to pick up. I'm hoping things will have changed by the time my boys are in middle school that I can homeschool them. For the most part, I am happy with our elementary school, but the middle and high school in our county is awful!!

Check into the Christian schools. A lot of them will take almost half off based off your income and you can get scholarships to help pay for it too. Definitely worth looking into.

We only have 2 Christian schools in our area. My older son went to the Christian preschool before my younger son was born. Can't afford both of them and of course don't want to send only one. Unfortunately, they do not offer discounts or scholarships. :\
