  the big holiday weekend! Hows all my buddies doing?  Did we all stay on track like we planned?  Or maybe we cheated a little bit

Today was a big day for me.  7 Days of South Beach, 5 out of 7 I gave 110% and 2 of those days I slipped a little bit.  I’m so much more aware of everything and why I’m eating what I do.  Food is becoming less and less appealing.

I believe South Beach is a healthy choice for my eating plan, I’m just finding the food choices to be very boring and monotonous (sp?) but…………………….Starting at a whopping 218 pounds last Monday, this Monday morning I’m down to 214 lbs.  4 pounds down, I’ll take it but I know I could have done way better.

Earlier in the week I had actually lost 5 “sigh”  Oh well, week 2 here I come with a vengence!! LOL!!

Had Talans 2nd birthday party at my daughters on Saturday.  Left our house at 10:00 a.m., picked her up at work, got to the house around 11:00.  Started preparing the food and decorations.  Company started coming around noon.  We ended up with about 20 people, and more presents then you could imagine!! Had a ball.

We left around 3:30 and decided we DID NOT want to go home  LOL!! So we went to the movies and saw Horton Hears a Who!!! Loved it Loved it!!! Got home around 7:00, stopped in to see Dad.  Came to our home around 7:45, and started cleaning big time.  At 9:00 p.m. I was still coloring easter eggs!!!

Easter morning up at 9:00 a.m., hiding eggs for little Talan to find.  Putting turkey breast, ham and sweet potatoes into the oven.  Mashed the potatoes, cleaned the asparagus, set the table, and here we go at noon.  The house is filling up, and here comes my sweet baby Talan!!!

We got loads of pictures over the 2 days.  He’s talking more and more each time we see him!!

For Easter dinner I ate only turkey breast and ham….lots of asparagus and a big glass of water.  My poor husband just couldn’t keep his hands out of the candy dish…LOL!! I don’t seem to have that problem, my problem is bread…I DREAM BREAD!!!!

Ok buddies, I’ve babbled enough.  Hope my buddy Jo was successful on her first week with South Beach…and any others on SB……and of course all my Buddies on what plans works for you.  We all have one goal in common…TO GET HEALTHY!!!

I’m waiting and praying to see if today the 24th is my buddy Shanna’s BIG BIG DAY!!!

Love You Guys!!!

Stop looking at where you have been, and start loooking at where you are going.
