No Whey

I have done well that past few days. I have eaten all of my points but I have not gone over. I have a few weekly allowance left but I am saving them for the weekend. It is only about 4.5 so it won't help too much but I really need that cushion.

I need to get back to posting my food journal even if I don't get a blog post written. I have gone straight to organizing after the baby goes to bed. All of my scrapbook stuff is organized. I need to label the bins today and then I am done. I might even try to start her scrapbook. SHe is one so I am only a little behind.

I think I mentioned being tired of eggs. I bought The Biggest Loser whey protein in vanilla flavor. I have been blending it with frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, a couple slices of frozen banana, some splenda, and a little fat free half and half and water. Not too bad but as I found when I tried slimfast. I like to eat breakfast and not drink it. I'm probably going to buy eggs and english muffins again soon and alternate until the whey protein is gone. I might also try cottage cheese and fruit to change it up. Something that might help is getting up early enough to get both of us ready and eat breakfast not in a rush. That is hard since it will mean getting up at 5am once I go back to work. How to people do it? Ugh.

We start next week practicing getting up early. I go back to work Aug 25. Not looking forward to it. The remainder of this week is working on staying on points and cooking dinner every night. Next week is getting up by 6am and exercising daily. I am adding one thing a week. 80% or more success is my goal for each of my objectives. This is not all this week but this is where I am headed:
* Stay on points 90% of the time.
* Exercise 5 days a week. That would be about 60% for 20 out of 30 days.
* Get up on time 80% of the time.
* Pick up the house every evening at least 80% of the time.
* Clean house weekly
* Write out lesson plans for classroom

As I move into the weekend, I want to ask that everyone keep one of my students in their thoughts and prayers. She is back in the hospital with shunt problems. Her parents are faced with a couple possibilities, one being to make her comfortable. Her mom is ready for that option but her father is not. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for her parents. This young lady is 14 and has surpassed any expectations of her doctors. She was not expected to live this long and thrive as she has. She is a delightful young lady but does not have a good quality of life right now since she is in pain. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts or prayers.
