Just Dropping By

My apologies for not “stopping in” the passed few days. Been a bit busy, doing nothing really. Just the day to day. Feeling much better these days…God love Ginger tea. Have a few irons on the fire that need tending but I’ll work it out. Just need to make the time to put together a game plan.

DH & I went tile/laminate shopping on the wknd. I want to play project manager and start organizing us to finish up these projects and get the house ready for sale. We have the crawl space to finish, the master bdrm floor, main bath floor, sink and tub insert, laundry room floor, enclosure for the Jacuzzi tub, and painting. Oh, and an overall cleaning of the house and major cleanup of the garage. Seems like a long list but it’s not too bad. I’m hoping to be ready to sell by the end of May…may be wishful thinking.

So, yesterday was my first day on the Curves 6 week solution. So far, so good. I was 200 calories under so that explained my hunger around 3:30ish. The food is filling and delish. Even through it’s just 1200 calories (this week only) it’s a lot of food. Like today, I had ½ c oatmeal and 4 slices of turkey bacon for bkft. Morning snack is 1 c each, cottage cheese and fresh pineapple. Lunch is big spinach salad w/onion, boiled egg, salad dressing, plus 5 oz tuna and 10 baby carrots. Afternoon snack is 2 oz turkey breast and 1 oz mozza cheese. Dinner is 1½ c Curves recipe “No Pasta Salad.” I’m really looking forward to that!! (Has all kinds of veggies, artichoke hearts, olives, parm & cheddar cheese, chick peas, tuna-subbing with Tilapia fish, all mixed together with Italian dressing.) So the next 6 weeks will be an exciting adventure. I hope to lose 10 pounds before I start to put on any weight. Overall, I’d like to limit my weight gain to 20 pounds with this pregnancy, which is realistic for my weight range.

So tonight I’m going to start working on E’s b-day invites. And maybe start organizing some of those projects mentioned. Well, hope you have a very productive day! TTFN!
