sickish again

Poor dog was sick again this week. Monday night the dog woke up 2 times to go out. When I came home on Tuesday after school there were lovely doo puddles all over the place. Nice. I did a lot of dry heaving while cleaning those puddles and those were not hte last of the week.

Our normal vet (not our holistic med vet) really was very negative about what we are doing for Cash. I was irritated. We went to get his diarhea fixed not get a lecture. Plus, I believe in what we are doing. I know lots of people have strong opinions about alterative medicine but we have seen GREAT changes in our dog. So I feel that its right for him. We spent 100 dollars at our regular vet and we got lots of negativity and felt bad about what we thought is right. Also THEY DIDNT FIX THE PROZBLEM!!!!! We took him to our alternative med vet (who is also a normal vet as well) and she got a sample on a slide and figured out he needed antibiotics. So she changed less and Cash is all fixed. We need to think about what we are going to do and maybe change vets. Just because you don't agree with a type of medicine you don't get to lecture at all. To me you should respect different forms of medicine. Plus this form of alternative medicine is used on humans just fine. BLAH!

I feel sickish right now. Bleh. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

I'm somewhat cranky as of now. I didn't take some of the meds I normally take and MAN do I cry for absolutely no reason. I feel better than before. But my stomach hurts.

I have lost another 1.6 lbs this week. So keeping the numbers in the right direction.

I would like to take off the rest of this week. Please and thank you.

Negative 11!!!!!!!

Yay, today was my weigh in day. I lost another 3 lbs. Which makes for a TOTAL loss of 11 lbs. I'm excited! That and the chart is good for people like me who need to see results. Every 5 lbs I loose, I get that date marked with a star. I so feel like a kid, but what can I say? I like visual reminders!

In other news I'm going to go make the BEST ever brownies from scratch. And somewhere along the line I need to do lesson plans. :)

Happy Easter!!!

So yesterday, my brother and I tried to explain what the meaning of Easter was to my nephew. Talk about a fun conversation:

me- "Steven you know who Jesus is?"
stevie- "no"
brother- "Kinda hard to explain when he doesnt know the main character"..."lets hope that he doesn't ask how the bunny is related to all of this".

By the end of the conversation he knew the main idea. Good enough for us!

He had a good Easter, and we are getting ready to eat steak, sweet potatoes, and asparagus. I baked brownies from scratch from a Weightwatchers Cookbook. They better be good after all that work including using a double boiler.

Here is a picture of him a few minutes ago. He is playing with his yoda and other star wars characters on his FISHING game. (I loved that game when I was lil).


In Weightwatchers news, I lost 3 more lbs!!! So I have a loss of 8lbs in 2 weeks. Not too shabby.

*happy dance*

I got a happy surprise when I got on my scale for my first weekly weigh in for weight watchers. I lost 5 lbs in one week!!!!!!!! I was very excited. My goal is 2 lbs per week. I hope to have 7 by next Sunday.

I think that weightwatchers is something that could actually work for me because its more about portion size and moderation.

I have a VERY hard time giving up carbs, but this I can actually eat them. Unlike the first 2 weeks of the South Beach Diet (which I can loose weight VERY quickly but it comes back right away).

For example: The hubby and I went to Olive Garden (my FAVORITE) for lunch. I ordered 1 bowl of minestrone soup. I requested my bread to be plain and only had one stick. I also had the lettuce plain with low fat dressing on the side. THEN I didn't eat any of the croutons. SOOO delicious, but better than previous choices I would have made. Oh yeah, and water with lemon. This was defintely more points than I eat for lunch, but it was a nice treat AND I am still completely within my POINTS for today.

In other news: Spring break is approaching!!! No school Thursday, Friday, and Monday. It will be a much needed break.

long day

Wow, was today ever long. Kids get antsy at the end of the year. Lets NOT recap cause once was enough.

What is fun is the dieting is going well so far. I had a Starbucks today, which makes me happy. Fat free version is just as caffinated. YUM caffine from starbucks. LOVE IT. One of the UofA students brings me it. FABULOUS. I hope to see 2 lbs gone by Sunday. Have my fingers crossed.

Why do the papers report all the budget cuts on front page but do not report the title one monies that we received? stupid.

Here are some fun pics that make me happy.

Me and the doggie. I had my hair cut and i put it into wet mini pigtails after the shower. BE QUIET! I was being lazy and not feeling hair styling or makeup. Whatever.


Me and my baby love:


I like to wear my husband's slippers:

Weightwatchers

Ok so I'm starting weight watchers. My mother paid 3 months of the online thing. Someone else paying is good incentive. I've done pretty good this week. So hopefully I can stick with it. I had a coffee from starbucks too! yay!
