Saturday Special #1
Saturday, June 21st, 2008
In an effort to actually have something interesting to say, I plan to do these kinds of things as well as updating you all on my weight loss journey. See below for today’s news.
It’s Perfect ~ Fill In The Blanks~
A perfect day is one where I don’t have to do anything but relax and read or watch something I’ve DVR’d. No cleaning, no picking out clothes for a child, no cooking, just me and whatever I want to do?
A perfect dinner is Oh, seriously? Something cooked by someone else, preferably one with no points but tastes yummy and fattening and ends with the most luscious dessert known to man, still with no points?
A perfect evening is home with my husband, the kids in bed or at least in their rooms. Beloved and I are watching Battlestar Galactica or some other show of ours the kids don’t like and we’re eating popcorn and having fun commenting on the action?
A perfect vacation is one I can’t have anymore – a week at that cabin in Canada I love so much with nothing to do but lounge around, swim or sleep or read or whatever. No phone, no computer, no obligations.
In weight loss news, I’m going on five weeks of sticking to my points completely and the third week of actually trying to eat the points not just horde them and end up with at ton Sunday night. I’m down two pounds since Theresa suggested I actually EAT. I went a little overboard last night because I finished my book (see The Romancechick Speaks for more info) and I mowed the lawn today (front and back) and planned to not log those activity points, but Beloved suggested I just track EVERYTHING.
I found the coolest stuff: Weight Watchers Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream! HEAVEN! I love mint chocolate chip but hate when the chips are tiny. WW uses chunks – relatively speaking, but they aren’t the mini chips they use in the Cookie Dough ice cream. I bought some more of the mint today as the family has regular ice cream for them.
Tomorrow is my usual go to the gym day. Our Y opens at 1 and closes at 5, but we have to be at mass at five for Beloved and the Girl to practice with the choir. Usually, we go as soon as we can after 1 and I exercise for about an hour which gives me time to get home, shower, get the Boy showered and dressed and relax a bit before we have to leave around 4:45.
Next week is VBS at church and I should go tomorrow afternoon to get ready, but I’m doing the drama part. My part is done first thing every morning and we use the sanctuary. Because of daily mass at 8:45 and VBS beginning at 9 and my part at 9:30 there isn’t really anything I can set up. I looked over Monday’s “performance” and I don’t need to have costumes or anything special so I think I’ can just wait until I’m done on Monday to figure out where things are and talk to my helpers. We will need sticky dots and “caution tape” which I will ask about when I get there before mass tomorrow or when I arrive early Monday morning.
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
