Weekend

This weekend, I went to the movies with my friend "A". We ran into some friends in the parking lot of the theater and they were going to see the same movie so we sat with them. it was fun. we went to see new in town. it was cute.
On Sunday we stayed home from church. Mister Studly has been sick with a cold and I didn't feel like tackling church all by myself with my kids. I know that's a lame excuse but I was just not up to it so I stayed home in Jammie's and unshowered all day. Mister Studly slept all morning until noon. He never is able to sleep once the sun comes up so i know he was tired and needed the rest. We watched the Super Bowl and I made buffalo wings for him (from a buffalo sauce i got for free last week using a coupon) and Shrimp Scampi. He is on the Atkins diet. Oh!!!! Good news.... Since January 5th, I have lost 12 pounds!!! Crazy huh?? I'm really excited. I have made milestones for myself to look forward to in my weight loss. I reached my first one. I am now the weight I was when I got pregnant with Thumper so I have officially lost the baby weight! Wooo Hoooo! So from here on out, my next "milestones" are every ten pounds. So every ten pounds, I'm going to celebrate myself and my hard work. I have been dieting like crazy since I've been home from Christmas in Utah and doing the wii fit. I have been eating low fat and lots of fruit and veggies and no salt. The no salt thing has been a really tough one. I didn't realize how much salt i use. I had to cheat a couple of times and added salt to my steamed veggies, but i added about 1/4 of my normal amount. I also have not put any butter or margarine on them either. It's been rough but I'm managing! My favorite treat right now is strawberries with fat free cool whip on them. I'll need to go and buy some more strawberries today since i ran out last night. anyways, i can really tell a difference in my upper body. My sides seem thinner and so do my arms. I can't wait to lose ten more pounds. I will be super happy! I have approximately 40 lbs to lose to where i will be "happy" if i lost 6o more pounds, i would be "ecstatic" but we'll see. it's harder to lose weight as you get older so I'll be perfectly happy with losing 40 more lbs.
my bil "r" is doing better. they had him up and walking around yesterday doing physical therapy so that's good. he's just in a lot of pain. even when he's asleep with the medication, he is moaning and groaning in pain. poor guy. I'm just glad he's doing better now.
I started thumper on rice cereal this last week and it was so funny but frustrating. i was so out of practice at first. he would fling his arms and literally knock the spoon out of my hand, up into the air and food would be all over me and the table and the floor. i was having a rough time. luckily i "remembered" pretty quickly how to feed little babies and i got a good technique down to make it less messy. now he does great and there's not much mess. he doesn't even spit it out too much either so that's nice! I've been making my own baby food and freezing it. so I'm going to start him on oatmeal cereal this week and then move on to the veggies. i do veggies first, then fruits. hopefully he doesn't gag too bad with the veggies. moma was pretty funny with those.
yesterday, there was a lobster tail (meat only no shell) in my back yard on the sidewalk being eaten by ants!! two questions... 1- how did it get there? and 2- who throws out lobster tail meat?????? i think a bird must have dropped it or something. none of my neighbors would have thrown it over the fence so it must have been a bird getting it out of a trash and then dropped it. it was a huge chunk of meat. weird huh??
