Day 4 - Happy Birthday Paul

Today was a good day, Emma woke up with a smile on her face this morning!

Work was good, I had a PBJ sandwhich for breakfast and some beef brisket for lunch (4 pieces). I also had a hot chocolate, for dinner we had tater tot hotdish (very small portion, as this is not my fav meal) to celebrate my brother's 30th birthday. I can't believe that Paul is already 30!!

Tomorrow is my Friday at work...whoohoo I am so happy!!

Day 3

I had a pretty good day today..considering that we had a holiday luncheon where I swear there was like 1,000,000 calories just staring me in the face saying eat me, eat me please.

Work was normal, for breakfast I had a bowl of Cookie Crisp Cereal, for lunch ok get this, I had 3 butternut squash ravioli, 2 pieces of beef brisket, some pretzel pieces with some asigo dip (bad lorry). I had a brownie and some cream puffs for dessert. Now I know that pretty bad, but here is what i could have had

Buffalo Wings
Spinich Dip
Broasted Chicken
Ribs
Rigatoni
Baked Spaghetti
Drunken Apples
Famous Dave's Beans
Corn Bread Muffins
Beer Bread
Cheese Cake

So see, I really did a pretty good job!

I also made it to the gym tonight and got in some nice cardio and worked the arms a bit. I have to admit i was in the gym last night, and I pretty much left after cardio because the people that were there last night were working my every nerve, and i was feeling like I was gonna punch one of them if I didnt walk out..

I wrapped Pauls birthday present tonight, he's gonna be the big 30 tomorow.. Happy Birthday little bro, and I actually made a christmas present tonight. Yes I said made, as in Homemade.

Day 2

So today was pretty darn good, I got more christmas stuff put up (stockings, nativity scene, and the rest of our ornaments). I got to the gym after work and did some good cardio, then did a little bit of legs but in all honesty the people there were just ticking me off. I mean come on, you people are hardly ever there and then you want to come in an act like you own the joint. Okay so on the food.....

I had oatmeal and cheese its for breakfast (whats up with the cheese its, i was starving at 10 thats what my problem was)
I had a ruben sandwhich with fries and diet coke (i only ate a quarter of my fries)
A couple glasses of water
A Chicken Breast and some basmati rice (2 1/2 servings of rice)
A glass of 1 percent milk
A couple cans of diet soda.


So over all not to horrible, but tomorrow is another story, we are having lunch catered in (famous daves, tuchi benuch, and tons o appetizers and treats). I am going to do my best to just have a little bit of stuff with more healthy choices.

Talk to you tomorrow

Day 1

So I have decided that I need something that is going to jump kick my butt in to not gaining any weight during these next few weeks. Christmas and New Years are always very hard. I am going to try and blog everyday at least about what I am eating, and anything else that pops in to my mind. Hopefully having to write this stuff down will make me realize what I am putting in to my mouth (this is my weakness).

I had a pretty good weekend but I was a little bummed. Barry was supposed to be going to Lynn's holiday party with me, but couldnt go so I ended up going alone. I think that I have decided to give it another try with him and see where things go. He got good news with his visitations of his daughter and that was really wonderful news.

My neighbor Tucker was/is my life saver. I made sure that I wrapped up all Emma's presents on Friday and I have her Sanata stuff hiding around. Well one thing that she really wanted super duper bad was sled. I have no more room to hide something that big so Tucker offered his place, and he even offered to try it out for her to make sure it worked well.

I got to go to Lunch on friday with Emma at her school. She was a spotlight student for the month of December, which is basically a reward for doing her reading logs and having them turned in on time. She has to read at least 20 books a month and she has reached that goal every month so far.

I did something really really stupid today. After watching the Vikings game and being happy that they won, I decided that since I had to clean, that I might was well clean my Fridge and Cupboards too. Well when I went to throw the Garbage in the dumpster I ended up throwing my keys in as well. You'd think on a Sunday afternoon that the garbage would be full...YOUR WRONG Nope not full, in fact it was so empty that I had to throw Emma in the Dump to retrieve my keys for me. She wasnt very happy about it and I wish I would have gotten a pic, but alas I got my keys.

Well enough of today, off to make grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Hasta

It's been a while

So its been a while since I have posted...like 3 months or something. Life has been crazy hectic, in a good way.

Emma is doing wonderfully in school and loves Dance. She had her winter recital and it was beautiful, I can't imagine her not being on a stage and shes only 5. Maybe I'll try to get her in some theater. She recently also lost both her front teeth, so she looks so darn cute right now.

Work is good, driving me crazy but good. In times like this, when I have a bad day at work, I say to my self that I have a job and I can pay my bills so life isnt all that bad.

My birthday was okay, I worked through it, Emma got H1N1 during it, so we didnt get to celebrate a ton, but we got to do it up the next week.

I have just about finished buying the christmas presents but I havent wrapped a single one. I really truly dislike wrapping presents. I wish there was an auto wrap button.
