TGIF!!! Shoot, I was hoping for a lower weight but no... my weight is exactly the same as yesterday. Again, I'm not going to worry about it since I know I'm doing much better than I have in the past couple of weeks.
I did have 2 small "caves" yesterday. Salem ALWAYS gets those Entemann chocolate chip cookies. If it were up to me they would not be in our home! So, I had 4- whoops! And then later, when we were getting ready to go to bed, he hops in w/ a 100 calorie pack of some chocolate dipped shortbread cookies. I sign up for every freebie imaginable and Nabisco sent us a whole box of these things. I just had to have one too! So that's 6 points (total) right there I didn't need to be eating!
Now that I've confessed my sins, here's what I did RIGHT yesterday. I grazed on fruits during the day. I drank water. I worked out. Then I practiced a few hard yoga moves. Lastly I lifted light weights.
I was well within my points (including the 35 weekly points of course) for the week despite my chocolate indulgence last night. I guess that's why I'm surprised that my weight is EXACTLY the same as it was last week. Oh well I will just keep plugging along and hope for a better weigh-in next Friday.
I know I talk a lot on here about my attempts to not drink. That is my main vice, and I just can't seem to give it up completely. It is the main sabatoge to my weight loss attempts. I am not someone who can just have a glass unfortunately.
My brother decided that he does not want us to bring the dogs when we go down to DC next weekend. He was going to keep them on the deck and it's probably going to be very hot so he doesn't think it's a good idea. I agree, but my dogs are like my children and I hate putting them in a kennel. Especially Howie, my brain damaged dog. The last time he went to a kennel it's because his past owners (the abusers) were dumping him off at the pound. So I'm really struggling with cancelling our visit down there but Salem is like "we can't let the dogs run our lives".
OH- and Salem ordered his own Beach Body program yesterday~ P90X. He's very excited. He is tall and thin and wants to build muscle so hopefully this will work for him.
Okay. This is offically too long of a journal entry.
Discount: For those of you with kiddos there's a monster sale going on at The Children's Place. Lots of stuff is half off. And I have a code to get you an additional 15% off if you order online: T4AT2JMG6A.
THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) We are getting new neighbors! Saw the moving van this morning.
2) The weekend is just a few hours away from beginning
3) Going to Triple A for more wedding planning this weekend :)
Have a fabulous Friday and weekend everyone! :)

Great journal..jam packed with all kinds of information. You are doing great with your exercise and great that Salem has ordered P90X. Wan2befit did that one and is a beachbody coach if you need any questions answered. So sorry about the dogs. I can understand how you feel and hope you can get something worked out. Sorry for the long reply and thanks for the PF Changs info. I think my daughter and I will be doing the dinner for 2 because she has a nut allergy and it seems to be the cheapest route. How are those lettuce wraps? Are they really good? Oh and what about the 2 soup choices. Have you tried either?

On a somewhat off topic note, and you can message me if you want or whatever, but what kind of brain damage does your baby have? I have two brain damaged cats and I'm always curious about it.

Hey Chris! Didn't I suggest the lettuce wraps to you? What did you end up having at pfchangs, sorry I never followed up to read what you did. LOVE your new picture, you are beautiful! Sorry about your issue w/ your dogs, can you possibly take only the one? I have kids and I love them dearly but I know its important to get away sometimes, Hub and I are happyily inlove still because of it. I hope you find a solution. I find it easier not to drink, we have to be strong. One drink makes us drink and eat more! LOL But I do love a drink every now and then. Good luck to Salem w/ the P90X, maybe w/ his hard work he will stop bringing cookies to bed, heehe, have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Jennie, he was thrown off a couch when he was about 12 weeks old, that's really all I know because I got him from a rescue group. But in addition to that, and I think was probably the reason behind the frustration/anger that caused him to be abused, is he has hydrocephalus (a cyst on his brain). He spins in circles constantly and has been virtually impossible to potty train. He wears a "belly band" which is kind of like a diaper for dogs. He's also mostly blind, but they think that was because of the abuse. He's such a sweet dog though. :)

I have wondered how PF Changs was. I am so picky about good Chinese food and I wondered, being a chain, could they really be good? I guess I got spoiled early in my life by having a really good small family run Chinese restaurant close to our home, a place my parents often ordered take out from!! I must admit Christina, we have NOT gone places because of our dogs. We spoil them rotten and treat them like our children. Good luck with figuring out what to do. It sounds like you are doing well overall. You are eating well, exercising, drinking water ... but the alcohol might be keeping you from seeing your true losses. Just a thought. But then you know how I love my occasional margaritas or whatever!! Shame on Salem!!!! Tempting you with cookies in bed!!! LOL!!!
