22 points!! Oh my goodness! That is ok- I dont want to use my flex points but to know that I'm still on with no mess ups!!!!

Yeah for me!

Oh my goodness... this is that point at which the excitement starts to fade BUT have no fear I shall not be defeated!
I feel so much better today!
I wanted to write this afternoon to fill you in on some of my amazing daughter's famous sayings:

Keep in mind she is 2 1/2 years old.
yesterday...we were shopping at Babies R Us and I thought she has filled her little panties so I asked and I quote "I pooped in my britches" It was so funny. This is not a term I have ever used in my life! so funny.

Last night.. while I was sick on the couch, I told Addy to go get a book and she said "Sit up, mommy." I said I want to lay down, I don't feel good. She said "Mommy sit up and relax a little bit."
I know, I know... she is one of those mom's who thinks her kids are the cutest and smartest. But I know my babies are the cutest and the smartest:) Laugh it up.

sick yet still successful

yuck...I was very sick today.
not sure why but I was nauseous all day long.
I still stuck to my diet though:) obviously.
bfast: 1/2 bowl of cereal (3)
lunch: 2 pieces of cheese (4)
granola bar (3)
dinner: spaghetti (5)
yellow squash (1)

so today I had 16 points!! yeah for me!!!

One down...too many to go.

Well I did it! I followed my meal plan to a T. But the yuckiest part of the day was when I went to the school for my weigh-in. Yikes! But that is the last time I will ever see that on the scale again.

So... I had 4 pts for bfast, 6 pts for lunch, 1 granola bar (3pts), 6 points for dinner, and an apple I shared with Addy (1 pt)

That means I had exactly 20 points!!! I also had only water all day!!

I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings

On a different note... tonight was the first time we've put up Christmas decorations as a family. Addy actually got to help this year. She got brand new Sesame street ornaments and helped daddy hang all the ornaments on the tree. She hung about 5 on the same branch:) but we left it because it made it all the more special. Most of the ornaments are on about 3 branches:)

I'm figuring out day by day how important it is to rejoice in how special God made each of my children. I know we are to lead them in the right path, but how beautiful is their unique individuality!

Day 1...
Well I' have finally arrived at the day to begin "the change". I'm not playing games anymore. So I plan to blog in the morning and night at the beginning so that I am extra accountable:) I am fully aware that 20 points is low for my weight, but I will fill up on fruits and veggies. So lets lay it out for the day...

Bfast:
Cereal 2
2% Milk 2

Lunch:
turket sandwich at subway: wheat, turkey. lettuce, tomato, blk olives, banana peppers, s&p 6
water 0

Dinner:
grilled chicken breast 4
steamed broccoli 0
grapes 1

granola bar somewhere in the day : 3
and 2 leftover

My goal is also to drink 3 bottles of water a day.

I dont plan to go to the gym tonight because we are putting up christmas decorations. But I will begin the fun tomorrow night. Ok...
I will check in tonight to see how well I did:)
See ya!
