My Husband does rock...I'm just late

So it's been a crazy few days and I didn't post on Friday...so I figure late Sunday night is just as good, right?

My husband rocks b/c he cooks for me. Yea, I know...doesn't seem like much. However, he cooks for me and keeps me in check with this whole weight watchers thing. Even when I don't want to hear it. He also puts up with my light sour cream, turkey bacon and egg beaters. He cuts out the butter so that I can eat the green beans without adding more points to my dinner...and doesn't complain.
It also helps that he kicks ass in the kitchen.

A game of Tag, Picutures and more

Thank you Karol for Tagging me! Sorry I'm a bit late, it's been a busy weekend. So, here goes:

Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.


Randomness:

1. I'm afraid of the dark. In my head I know it's silly but I can't help but run up the stairs if I'm downstairs alone and it's dark. I also can not let my limbs hang over the edge of the bed when I sleep. I fully believe the boogie man is hiding under there waiting to grab me.

2. I love watching old episodes of 90210. I've seen them all a million times yet I still watch in amazement like it's the first time. I still grin like a school girl at seeing Brandon shirtless, I still laugh when good old Jim Walsh asks Brenda if she's done something that would require a pregnancy test and I still cry when Tony dies. Oh, poor Dylan! I really need to invest in the DVD's. Accepting donations.

3. Sweets are my weakness. I can pass up all salty snacks but put chocolate of any kind in front of me, and it's all over. I can't say no. I'm working on this.

4. I don't know how to work out. I never saw the inside of a gym until I was 19 and even then, it was just to go swimming. The Y scares me, I stick to my little bike on the top floor where I can read while I ride without looking like a fool. Once in a great while I may venture to the treadmill with the TV downstairs, but it's rare.

5. I have a serious internet addiction. I need to seek out a self help group, I'll have to google that.

6. I have stubby toes and I hate them. Jared says they're like little sausages.

And who am I tagging (sorry girls, Karol made me do it)

1. JenM (I'm going to let you slide if it takes you a few days to do this)
2. Amy
3. Andrea
4. Jill
5. Becky
6. Kelly

Okay...enough of that, time for pictures and updates. I'm just putting this in all one long blog, so deal with it.

Almost the end of Weight Watchers week 1.

Let's see, I still have 23 of my 35 flex points left. I may use 2 of those for ice cream later though. I don't know the 'rules' but I'm thinking that is pretty good. So far I love it...but we'll see what happens when I weigh in tomorrow. I'm not putting too much in to my first weigh in b/c my starting weight was based on the scale at the doctors office...tomorrow I will be using my crappy ass scale. I really need to invest in a new one!

The weekend has been so nice! My aunt was in from Florida. I picked her up on Wednesday and on Thursday we hit the flea market for fresh veggies and then we had a cook out that night. (this is where I used 7 of those flex points)
Friday was a rough day around here, Ian would.not.stop.crying. Not sure what his deal was, but it was not a good time.
Saturday we had another cookout with more good food. Somehow I managed to have 1/2 a point left over though...even with Sangria, which is what put me over on Thursday.
Today I've done some cleaning...and got great news on my car. The insurance company cut my dad a check for the hail damage. It was almost 3x what we were expecting. **doing a happy dance**

Okay...on to pictures!

Ian smiling




and both my boys...trust me, they are not as innocent as they appear.

And we have real smiles

Not just gas!!

It's the cutest thing ever!

Nope, no pics...I tried but all I ended up with was a cross eyed baby looking at me like I was crazy. Will post some soon though.

I can't believe how big he is getting, where did the past 2 months go?!??!?!

Getting the hang of this

So today is Day 3 of WW. (well, the end of day 3 anyway)

The first day I went over by 5 points b/c I forgot to log the pasta salad I ate. I didn't realize it until the next day. Damn.

Second day it was 8pm and I had 19 points left. WHOOPS. Part of the plan is to make sure you eat your points. I had a turkey hot dog and chips with salsa. Yum!

Today I have 5.5 points left and I'm not hungry, so I'm just letting them go. I went to subway and did not get a cookie, I haven't done that in over a year...maybe longer. 1 single subway cookie is 5 points. If you don't know anything about WW, to give you an idea, I had a grilled chicken salad with dressing for 4 points.

I'm not sure that I'm loosing anything (I hate scales), after all it's only been 3 days...but I did notice a jump in my energy. I'm not nearly as tired mid-day. Probably from not having so much crap in my system and drinking more water.

Oh...and I found a new favorite ice cream. Turkey Hill Light Raspberry Chocolate Chunk. OMG, so good!!

Wish me luck tomorrow, we're BBQing at my parents house. Thank goodness for turkey hot dogs!
