I Actually Ate A Sandwich Without Cheese

To some of you that is probably a "big deal." But to me it's HUGE. You see, I love cheese. I love love love it...which is good coming from the heartland and all. However I am also on the quest for the "wedding-dress-body" so I'm *trying* to be good. Cheese is one of my downfalls. Big one. I could snack on it for days. But today, I decided to NOT have cheese. I am doing the whole 10-pounds-in-10-weeks thing and boy-howdy let me tell you how that's NOT working. So, in order to "be good" I decided to forgo the usual cheddar, mozzarella and/or colby and instead just have ham, lettuce and cherry tomatoes wrapped in a soft tortilla. It was delish! Heavenly even! It could be that the cherry tomatoes are just divine right now but I was happily not even missing my cheese which for me is a fantastic accomplishment. The next step - chips! boy to I love chips. I would say my love for chips equals my love for cheese! Put 'em in front of me and I will eat them. I try to eat the baked kind always but I can eat about 3 times the amount of regular ones so....sort of defeats the purpose. I try not to buy them. So, today with my cheese-less sandwich I had half (Half! Seriously!) a serving (half an ounce!!) of white-cheddar soy-crisps. That satisfied my crunchy-sort-of-cheesy need and is infinitely healthier than those darn chips.

Now, off to drink another 32 oz of water and plan on doing my workout dvd tonight becuase it's FINALLY not godforsaken hot in my house. Then I'm off to buy a new party dress for my first shower this weekend. Wheeeee!

Hopefully I will make some "scale-progress" as well....

I don't think I said "give up" because, let's face it. THAT's not going to happen. Maybe just "cut back." Yeah, that's it....

So, um, the fact that you're thinking about the cheese, writing about the cheese, telling us how much you didn't miss it in your sandwich, what might that mean? That giving up cheese is the worst thing in the world! I LOVE CHEESE! Brave. Very brave.

Raising my hand to cheese here too! Love it. And congrats on your impending nuptuals! What a wonderful thing to be looking forward too. I will be checking back often to find out how things are progressing! Best wishes and many blessings!

okay - people. Let's get this straight IN NO WAY AM I GIVING UP CHEESE. That's just ridiculous!

I just had ONE sandwich without cheese. Just one! And today - guess what? I had two scrumptious slices of cheese on my turkey sandwich. And it was good.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
