Another weekend over...

Yet another weekend is over! They seem to fly by so fast! It was a beautiful weekend, weather wise though! Sunday we decided to go outside and chop at some thick ice in the driveway to start clearing it up. Great idea at the time, but I'm paying for it now. My lower back is killing me and I'm having a hard time to sit here at work, never mind walking around. I'm thinking it either had to do with the ice (most likely) or I slept in a really bad position. Not sure which one!

Speaking of sleeping, what a hard time I had to sleep last night. With this time change and all! Usually I'm ready for bed around 9:30. Well we went in around 10 and I could not close my eyes! I got back up and stayed up until 11:50! In reality to me it was 10:50. Needless to say I'm a wee bit tired today!

So I weighed in on Saturday. Lost 1 lbs. This brings my total to 18. When I think about 18 lbs I think - 1. I should be around 22 right now'ish then think 2. 18 lbs is quite a bit. I lifted a bag of potatoes yesterday that was 7 lbs and that was heavy enough, add another bag plus a half of one, and wowsers 18lbs is quite a bit! It's still hard to wrap my head around it. I was hoping for at least 3-5 lbs this week where it had been 3 weeks since I last weighed in. My eating habits may have swayed some so this week I'm getting a bit more strict with myself and am going to try to avoid my beloved bagels. Subsitute for Weight Watcher bread, which is about 110 calories less. Probably not as filling, but may get my craving. Plus I need to eat more fruits and veggies during the day instead of the ligtht 90 calorie snacks I've been eating. You think 90 calories - not bad. But if you eat 3 of them that's 270 calories! So my goal this week is to eat more fruit and veggies and less bagels!

Big birthday week! Nothing major planned except a trip to Moncton on Friday. Thursday will be birthday celebration (no cake - but strawberry shortcake!) and maybe a few presents! That's about it! It should be nice, I always look forward to getting older!?!? ;o)

That's it for now. I'll try to write more by the end of the week!
