:(

I need to put this past week behind me. I had horrible meals from last Sunday on to yesterday! yesterday we had fast food twice! total last week we had fast food about 4 times! Today, i haven't had much to eat...tea with generic equal this morning and boiled, lightly seasoned chicken breast and broth for lunch. why?


Could be a couple of reasons combined but I have a cold. I initially figured it was because friday night i didn't turn the table fan off by my bed so there was air blowing on me even though Friday and Saturday nights were pretty cool for August in Chicago. This has been a pretty...not so typical...Chicago summer btw. Anyway, today, I realized that might not be the only reason. Last week our church had our Back to School Bible Camp (VBS) so we had a lot of foreign germs in there with guest students from the neighborhood. not saying they're nasty or anything but...not sure how healthy a life they're living!!! I keep forgetting to take my vitamins so my immunity defenses are pretty down. Soooo, I've been taking psuedophed and I only have 2 left. i figured yesterda that today I'd grab some more to or from church but i didn't go because i woke up feeling like something ran over my head!

Mommy (yeah, i said mommy :P ) is boiling some more chicken for me, the boy has been napping for a while and he's already woken up once but he went back to sleep...however...is that him sighing now....uh oh. so yeah...I'm hoping this cold is gone by Thursday because that's when we're taking another staycation downtown! Weather forecast just went off and those days look good...really good.....not too hot, no rain forecast..we get rain on Tuesday or Wednesday but i'll probably have to water the potted plants outside before then anyway.



Soooooo, yeah, what happened last week with my eating? I could have easily made that pot of brown rice to go with the pepper steak and sweet n sour chicken I made but I didn't. instead, i turned the steak into wraps...not bad, had a lotta lettuce and some sliced tomatoes with that. The chicken though....I wrapped those in wonton wrappers and made FRIIIIIED eggrolls!!!! GRANTED I had sliced carrots, bell peppers, onions, and cabbage in that mix....would have been much healthier with a bit of brown rice. Plus I MAXED a bag of Boston Baked Beans candy AND some cookies. OY!! whole wheat pasta found it's way into the mix as well.

my weight fluctuated from like 365 to 360 to 362 to yesterday's 363.8 or .3 . Not sure what it is today.

A problem was I had to hurry up and cook a bunch of meat that I didn't freeze after buying it because I was like, well, do we have room in the freezers and I wanna hurry up and make something with these and blah blah blah. Well, it was a bad move. I've been doing good with making only enough food to last the day it's cooked and maybe the next day for leftovers. Cooking a fresh meal has helped keep me on track.

I also need to not have another bloggin drought. even if I stop in just to say feeling fine...or like crap..or whatever....


welp, the wee one is awake and hugging up on me!! he was just kissing my knee...then huggin my arm, now harrassing my knee again!!!
