I can't believe I have not updated my blog in almost 2 months.

Just been busy and struggling like crazy.  I need some inspiration and a kick in the behind.

Hope you are all doing well!

Today I feel: Depressed (just really tired and thinking the iron is low)

Plans for the next while:

Tomorrow (Friday) = 2200 calories (quite high only because we have a graduation dinner to go to so there's wine, etc.)

Breakfast: 350 calories or so (probably 2 eggs with a little Havarti cheese and ham in the omelet maker with coffee with Sugar Twin and little 2% milk)

Snack: 100 (Special K crisps)

Lunch: 500 calories (just bought some WW meals today with salad on side with low-fat dressing)

Snack: 100 (Fruit cup?)

Supper:  1150 calories - I have no clue since it's a graduation dinner, but I am sure there are some healthy options available.

Will see how I do.

Okay, so I haven't posted in forever.  Life has been rather difficult to say the least.  We have had so much company staying with us for weeks on end and I can hardly stay afloat.  Four kids are keeping me busy over top with their sports, choir, cadet programs, etc.  We also decided in the last year to homeschool one of our children to work on her in many ways.  She is registered again in a regular school in September, since we planned to do this just for one year.  So having my 3 oldest kids in 3 different schools (homeschool, elementary school, and high school) with our youngest still at home made it difficult to juggle things.

So once our company leaves (in-laws staying here for 2 weeks straight), hubby and I agreed that our house will no longer be a FREE all-inclusive holiday resort for all the people who want to stay here and not lift a finger or help us pay for groceries, etc.  Yes, I am fed up.

We hope to go away for the long weekend to the States and when we come back, I hope to rejoin the gym.  I had to quit our other gym because my daughter could no longer use the nursery there because she came down with a severe case of mulloscum contagium. 

I had been a member with WW for a long time, but when the new program (ProPoints) came in....I actually gained on it.  I gave the new program a year to really work with it and no amount of tweaking it helped with my weight.  I also noticed that since I quit the gym, I was losing muscle tone.  So instead of paying for $60 per month on WW, I am going to take that amount of money and join a gym for $44 per month which also includes up to 3 hours of FREE daycare per day!  They also offered to weigh me there EVERY week and give me nutritional advice.  I am quite pumped about it.  I just want to add that WW didn't work for me, but it works wonderfully for other people.  I still think it is a great healthy program overall...probably the BEST out there, but it just didn't work for me.

Tomorrow morning, I will weigh-in and start this ALL over again!  I admire many of you who have kept your blogs active...life happens and that seems to fall on the wayside.
