Wunderbar

I'm realizing that I eat a lot of carbs. And fruits and veggies are not a daily thing. And I'm not sure I feel like changing my eating habits...

Bonnie, we'll be praying for you guys. Just think, God is going to "refine" you like gold! He can use this difficult time for good!

kmn may 31

kmn May 31st

Breakfast: banana nut muffin and coffee (two sugar, one cream)

glass of milk

Supper: Actually the band wagon that I was on dumped me off so all I could find for supper was a medium sized bag of sour cream and onion chips and a medium iced cap (Tim's). That Timmy is not such a good driver, I'll have to look to hire another.

Lots of water

**Lost 7 pounds

kmn May 30th

Breakfast: banana and 7 cbb's

Memery's strooong coffee with hazelnut cream (one cup)

Lunch: I made a fruit smoothie with blueberry yogurt, strawberries, canteloupe, blueberries, peaches and pineapple, mango, orange juice and that was my lunch - yum!

Snack: an orange

Supper: Big Mac, small fries, medium coke, butter tart

* I planted flowers tonight and spread a bag of mulch as well as went on a leisurely bike ride and that is the extent of my excercise. I suppose I could also count all the heavy lifting at work today as well as the several times I ran the stairs.

Bonnie, Laverne and you will be in our prayers. I'm sure having wrecked his shoulder brings him a ton of pain. Lindsay is hobbling around since Wednesday as well, when he hurt his foot while going down our stairs. The xrays show that he pulled or tore a ligament and so he is off work till Tuesday for sure.

bjw

total exercise for this week is 5 miles and 13 minutes of weights/exercise

bjw May 30

exercise: I just finished cutting grass with a push mower for about 1.5 hours, then went on a short walk with Mistee. I am going to count this as 2 miles and 5 minutes of weights as it is rough terrain out here and it is a severe workout!

PRAYER REQUEST!! LaVerne found out today from his doctor that he will need surgery to fix his shoulder. This will include 6 weeks with his arm in a sling, completely immobile and 3 months off work. Okay, so my first thought was that this will soooo not be fun for him. So that is the first part of the prayer request; that the doctors will do well and LaVerne will heal well. My second thought was, will we still pay our bills if he's not working? Well, he does have insurance for just this reason, so please pray that that will all be fine. As I was out there cutting grass, it hit me that we would be totally irresponsible to go ahead with our plans to pour concrete and finish off the deck etc., when money is bound to get tight. I must admit I fell into depression right there in the midst of the flying grass. This will be hard for me. Please pray that I will be CONTENT. I tell myself that there are so many people without homes or even husbands because of tornados and earthquakes right now; my selfish brain doesn't always care about that. And THEN, as if that wasn't enough to get me down, I realized on my little walk that going camping this summer is probably not going to work at all. Cuz you would think that this surgery would need to be done pronto if they have to sew muscles back together, right? So that would mean he could not be using that arm at all. Three things that I have thought of that he would not be able to do are: swimming, fishing, chopping wood. So that is my sob story. It's all still new, so maybe these things will change who knows. Please pray for me if I come to mind. Thanks for "listening". I should also say that LaVerne would probably want this to stay private.

Okay, today wasn't such a good day for blogging all that I consumed, but here goes.

Breakfast:
my usual porridge & toast
1/2 cup milk

Lunch: St. Andrew's Women's League provided lunch today.
1 1/2 tea bunwiches (if you don't know what a tea bun is, it's a really tiny sweet bun) - 1/2 with egg salad, 1 with salmon

Well, now that I've got it all "recorded", it doesn't look all that bad. It's just that our supper was really fatty. We've got beef ribs that I didn't know what to do with, so I tried a new recipe. The taste was good, but the ribs are so fatty, that even after my twizzler dessert they left a greasy aftertaste. Yuck! I'm thinking I'd rather chuck the beef ribs that are left in the deep freeze than eat them.

I also weighed myself this morning and was pleased to see that I have lost 5 pounds since starting this blog, however, I will not put stock in it until it says it again tomorrow.

snack: cheese & crackers, grapes, bit of leftover tea from breakfast

Supper: salad, one serving lasagna, one piece garlic toast, mini can of Pepsi

Thursdays are always a bit off for me cuz I go directly from mail run to cleaning house job without a lunch break, so my lunch was really just a snack that I nibbled on while vacuuming. That is why I had a bigger snack when I got home. My crazy bird woke me up @ 5:45 a.m. and thus I am extremely tired and thus I will not be exercising but thusly going to bed!

First of all the weigh scale said that I lost one pound; I know that this doesn't count for anything because it always varies one to two pounds. On a positive note it didn't say I gained a pound!

Breakfast: 2 pieces toast with Nutella, tea.

snack: cookie @ work.

lunch: chicken wrap combo @ KFC (includes fries, gravy, a pop), small sundae @ DQ (took my girl out for lunch : )

supper: chocolate bar and pop. (yes, I know I am a moron at this point, I get that!)

Exercise: 1.5 miles on my treadmill, lift my 10 pound weights for 5 minutes (I have not actually done this yet, but will go directly from computer to do it and since I have committed to it here, I know I will --mind games)

Karen: I saw that game "What's Yours Like" in Walmart, so I bought it. Now we need to get a few people together to try it! I know this last bit has nothing to do with what I ate or exercised but I just thought of it and out it came. Love you guys, keep up the good work.

This blogging is doing me a lot of good too. Even though I eat things I shouldn't (as you can see), it is making me think before I take a second helping and I've stopped eating after supper which I was getting into the habit of again. Thanks to you two great friends for being faithful with your blogging. If I thought you weren't paying attention, I'd probably let it fall away....

2 oranges
3 samples at Costco :-)

2 glasses milk

kgn - Sunday, May 4

slice of whole wheat toast with low fat pb & a banana
glass of milk

We had lunch at the Aroma Resto-bar in the Radisson - just the two of us :-) I had chicken calzone with root chips and a spinach salad. (It's one of my favourite meals - and it's really not a big meal, so I felt really good afterward.)

We went for a nice walk along the river - it was such a beautiful afternoon! On the way home I couldn't resist a treat when we went thru the Tim Horton's drive thru. I had a small brownie iced capp supreme. Mmmm!

Evening at Kevin Wiebe's birthday party: two (count 'em) platefuls of veggies, mushrooms and chips with dip (I really tried to have more veggies than chips...), a little bit of some kind of nut mixture, 2 glasses punch, 1 yummy piece of carrot cake.

I can't say I'm noticing a smaller tummy yet, but then by the looks of things, I still don't have the willpower that Kathy has.

kmn Sunday May the 4th be with you!!

Breakfast: Quaker rice cake (caramel) with Peanut butter & craisins
glass of milk
banana

Lunch: lettuce salad with chicken finger bites, red pepper, green onion, cucumber, dill weed & honey mustard sauce
glass of iced tea

Snack: orange

Night Snack: walnut crunch & coffee
*(just gimme my Timmies and no one gets hurt)

I'm thoroughly enjoying the smaller tummy I'm getting and boy does this blogging what I eat ever keep me accountable. I'm loving it. Do you know how many times I would have had just a few chips and just a few salt water taffy candy. But if I have to blog it, then I'll just rather not eat it. I hope this keeps up. I don't remember all the time, but from time to time I am remembering to pray for all of us concerning our will power and our daily eating habits. We CAN do it with help from above! Nothing tastes as good as being thin FEELS!

I am actually pleased with myself today because I went to the store for milk and the Pepsi was shouting my name....not just calling SHOUTING! I said no, firmly, and came home with no pop!

Bad part is that I did not get on my treadmill today. Thursdays are tiring for me b/c of the extra house cleaning job and plus I have a bad head/neck ache. I shouldn't whine, sorry. :)
