July 1

Where has my summer gone?!  Last night I had to get ready for the weekend.  Had to go to Sam's Club, the grocery store, etc.  Then Jim seemed to need me to go to Menards with him, them back home with the small stuff while he ran for fireworks and loaded the dock boards.  Then he needed me to meet him at Menards again to get the fireworks out of the truck--really not sure why, but it seemed to make him happy.  By the time I got a frozen pizza in for my oldest and her boy it was after 8pm. 

Needless to say, I did not work out last night.  I did do pretty good on food and portions yesterday.  Even went thru McDonalds drive thru for lemonades for the teenagers and did not purchase anything for myself!  Yay ME! 

My goal this weekend is to stay away from chips and take at least one walk.  I usually have a few adult beverages and am trying to decide what would be better for me my free case of beer (cider) that I got for my birthday from work or Weed and lemonade.  No I do not do diet lemonade.  I have a feeling it is all kind of the same between the two. 

Jim will have me scraping and painting  a dock while he cuts boards.  I will still get a decent work out.  As long as I am careful what I eat, I think I should be ok. 

I wore a couple of tank tops-layered- to work today.  It's casual Fri so I can get away with it.  Man, do I feel huge though!  I feel like I am super round!  My arms are showing and I swear they got larger!  It's crazy the way different clothes can make you feel.  I am going to try to put on a swimsuit this weekend.  I absolutely hate that.  I feel naked and blubbery.  I will try to force myself to do it.  I think it will help keep me motivated.  If not, then there is no saving me.

We are having a big supper on Sat.  Turkey, potatoes, corn, etc.  I will have to be careful.  I bought strawberries so I will have to lean on the turkey and the strawberries. 

I did go to Taco Bell today.  I love Taco Bell.  7 layer burritos are my all time fav!!  My other option was the Taco shop where I would have ordered a chicken chimi that was 4 times the size of my 7 layer.  I chose the worst of the 2 evils and still got my mexican fix.  On Fri evenings I am usually too busy to grab supper so hopefully this will tide me over.

Looking forward to the warm weather this weekend and fireworks.  Hopefully I won't have to sit with the dogs again this year.  Silly boys get scared and need their mom to save them.  Sad thing is, I will. 

Lovin' life and hopefully getting skinny!!

ps. Tracy I am going to try to use some of your wisdom!  Thank you!
