The ORANGE roughy for dinner was fantastic. Small salad of spinich & 3 halved cherry tomatoes, and cauliflower & garlic cooked in a teas of olive oil. That fish tasted like it was cooked in butter and all I used was a short spray of Pam in my non stick pan....little salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end!!! I used to cook my food in a pool of oils, butter and sauces...seems like just 4 days ago...oh...it was just 4 days ago!!! lol
Funny how important that lean and green meal is in our daily routine. I can't wait for Mike's days off so we can have it a little earlier in the day.
Getting ready for Idol...sorry...NOT an Adam fan. He's too much of a performer. Like having a ready made star. I would prefer Danny, love his story or Chris or 16 year old rocker girl...more authentic. Adam will do it on his own.
Ate at 6 and still feeling full!! Enjoy your evening!

Diet Day 4....Lunch Challenge
I have a cute little threesome here today for daycare & they were very excited about the Ravioli scheduled for lunch! Me....not so much! I LOVE leftover ravioli!! (with lots of fresh cheese).
So the pan with the leftovers is still out there and their plates are still on the table. I BEGGED them to eat 2nd helpings....just a little more by the three of them would have finished it off. I had already filled their plates with extra big helpings today and little Aidon said "Miss Leslie, if I eat more Ravioli, I will be throwing up Ravioli." Well...lets not do that!
Talked to my health coach today....she is very encouraging. AND Mike called from work and said he sneaked another weigh-in too and hadn't lost anymore! THAT made me feel even better!!
Having a chocolate crunch bar in an hour...they are yummy!
Does anyone want leftover ravioli?

Diet Day 4.....cloudy morning...cloudy mood
Did great yesterday....enjoyed the chicken breast with just a tablespoon of Montgomery Inn Barbecue sauce brushed on. It was plenty.
Found a great salad dressing...Red Wine & Olive Oil. Love it!
Okay...this is why you DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY....I couldn't resist this morning after seeing the scale go down 4 pounds yesterday...so I stepped on it again this morning. It's still at the minus 4 pound loss weight. Now I am fighting my gloom and doom mood. I told myself that it was ok...but honestly, I was not okay. I didn't even want to blog...I really wanted to eat the extra chicken breast I had ready to go in a salad in the frig!! That's my life...emotional eating!!!
I'm bringing myself out of it with a piece of watermelon sugarfree gum, prayer and now....hot cocoa. Decided to have orange roughy for dinner.
Looking forward to oatmeal around 9-10am. I might try the apple cinnamon.
One of my little guys is sick this morning. He's staying with his Grandma. Praying he will feel better soon. We will miss him today.
Valerie is preparing to run her Half Marathon in Cincinnati this weekend. It's called the Flying Pig Marathon and she thinks she will be carrying a chip so we can somehow track her 13+ mile race through Kentucky hills and Cincy. She sent me the website but I haven't gone to it yet.
I'm feeling better now.....thanks for the support. I will leave the extra chicken breast for the salad later in the week. :)

More Catching up....
Andrew with dancing sisters following the Elite Spectacular performance!
Madison and Grace at the "Q" in Cleveland. The Elite Cav's dance was AWESOME!!
Andrew counting down the days until his DRIVER'S PERMIT!
Christmas Play costumes...Angel Madison...Shining Star Grace.
Matt and Valerie went to Cancun for their 10th Wedding Anniversary in March!
A teeny tiny bit of anxiety...
I enjoyed all of today's meals. The pudding was very good and I love the chicken noodle soup. I felt a little snacky after the kids left so I grabbed some celery sticks. I started thinking about cream cheese and peanut butter! Old habits die hard!
I can't wait for barbecued chicken for dinner.

Mid Morning...All is Well!
Having the best day yet! Started with Hot Cocoa, which I LOVED. Just had Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal which I LOVED!!!
I tried cappuccino yesterday(yuck) and Peach Oatmeal (Blueberry Oatmeal on Day 1). The fruit oatmeals were okay...I actually might have nuked them too long..I will give them one more chance...but I really loved today's!
We are trying the products and finding the ones we really like....it's trial and error. I need to check with our Health Coach to see if we can return unused selections that we don't like.
So happy the rain is staying away until this afternoon. Taking the boys and Quinn outside after Learning Table and snacktime! Didn't think we would be going outside today according to yesterday's weather forecast.
Thankful this morning....

Diet Day 3....early morning
Mike just left for work with his 5 replacement meals, celery snack and 2 Momentum drinks....chicken is thawing for dinner.
The one thing I noticed this morning is I don't feel hungry which could mean I am in the "ketosis" state of fat burning now. Our Health Coach called last night to check in with us. She gave me a site that sends us daily "Tips" and encouragement. She will call again tonight.
I have to admit that I am already dwelling on the kid's lunch this afternoon. I planned to do a "breakfast for lunch" today of french toast and scrambled eggs. I wish I had planned something that I didn't like so much. I might change it to pbj...would that be terrible? I have lots of grapes leftover and I could make some pudding. I think I will do that instead of the french toast. I feel stronger today but not sure I'm that strong...I can literally smell the maple syrup!!
Mike and I couldn't help but weigh ourselves this morning....he has lost 7 pounds and I have lost 4 (we started on Sunday). No more weighing until Sunday...
I have 7 children today. I wish the weather was going to be nice. It was wonderful being outside for playtime yesterday. They are such great kids and they fill up alot of my time so I'm not thinking about food....that is a good thing! We have a couple of Mother's Day projects to start and we are still reviewing for the Kindergarten testing. I think we will read today...haven't done that in a while.
Well...6am now. I need to get dressed and ready for my first arrivals. It's going to be a great day! I feel more positive today. I have completed 2 full days without giving in to temptation....that is HUGE for me!! It really helps to have this blog as an outlet for my feelings. Pretty boring for YOU but great for ME!
This was on the Take Shape For Life website...
"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want in the moment."
God bless you.....(ok...I now feel like crying...tears are flowing....what is this about?) Deeeeeep breath.....Day 3 here I come!
