I finished off the 15th with a handful of candy -- a few Starbursts and chocolate.

Yesterday's food was:

Breakfast:  1 LC pita with pb and honey; coffee

Snack: 2 vanilla sandwich cookies; water

Lunch:  Vienna sausages and leftover chinese; water  I had the sausages because there wasn't much meat with the Chinese.  Lots of carbs and veggies, so I ate the sausages, a bunch of broccoli, and some of the carby stuff.

Snack:  Popcorn and Mello Yellow Zero

Dinner: 2 tacos (multi-grain shells, meat, cheese, sour cream and salsa) and tortilla chips with cheese dip (all home-made); Mello Yellow Zero

Dessert:  Cookie dough; water

Felt like all I did yesterday was eat... I was SO tired!  We all decided it was best if we had a really lazy day.  My hubby had woke up for a few days with a headache and I was just achy.  So, we really didn't do much yesterday but read, watch TV, watch movies, and hang out.  It's a good thing, too.  I do feel a bit better today and hubby seems to, too.  And that's good since he starts nights tonight.  FUN.  I think it was just much needed after the last few weeks of craziness.  This weekend was the wedding and it just WORE ME OUT.  Not to mention, when I stayed at my parents, I ended up having to sleep on the couch.  I am just too old to sleep on a couch like a teen!  I told my Mom they HAD to get the spare room cleaned out so that we could put a decent bed in there.  I know it will be hard (it was my Granny's room and she passed away in May), but it has got to be done.  I think they could put a full size bed, a dresser, and side table in there with no problem... IF they clean out all the other stuff!  I just can't sleep on the couch again.  It nearly killed my back.  Anyways, the last few weeks had been busy and hard and well... somewhat weird so it was just nice to take yesterday to sit around and be lazy.

So far, today hasn't been very active, either.  Of course, it's just now lunch time and I have been trying to catch up on here.  I still need to do a couple of blogs, but I commented on a few.  Plus, the kids have been somewhat grumpy.  And right now, my stomach is in an uproar.  I KNOW I've had too much caffeine and too much fake sweetener.  So, it's water for the rest of the day!  Hopefully my stomach will settle soon.  I need to pot two plants, mow, pick some tomatoes, and then do some laundry and dishes.  I also need to clean out the fridge.  I am even thinking of going down and getting on the treadmill for a bit.  I keep saying I am going to be more active and for the most part I am, but I would really like to do some treadmill time and some toning.  I keep saying it, but I have yet to do it.  I HAVE been staying up and busy more, but just not the 'planned' exercise.

Not sure about food... the last two days weren't great between the candy and take-out, but not horrible.  I need to get back to less processed foods, lower carbs, and not eating for the sake of eating.  I feel like I munched a lot yesterday just to be munching.  I think a lot of it is because I was so tired, I felt false hunger.  I kept eating but never go that feeling I normally do after eating.  It was strange.  I hope it was just a tired thing.

Other than that, not much going on here this week.  Well, except my kids driving me nuts.  Already, they have been fussing, whining, and bickering since they got up.  It's driving me crazy.  I feel like screaming and having a fit myself!  And did I mention from where things have been crazy and the hubby has been off the house is a wreck?  Yeah... it's bad.  Dust everywhere, carpet filthy, dishes piled up, laundry like Mt. Everest... UGH.  Will take me the next 4 days to get it cleaned only for hubby to be off again and it go right back to this.  UGH.  Ok, not true.  It will get a bit messy, but it's the 7 day stretch that gets us all messed up.  We ALL get out of routine.  Nothing major.  It just seems like by the time we get to the week break, I am so worn down (mostly from the kids) that I just get lazy.  This time was different -- there was just too much going on!  I TRIED to keep on top of things, but it just fell by the wayside with the wedding and all.

OK, I just picked up the bathroom and cleaned out the fridge.  I also put a few things away.  That is a bit better!  I guess I need to get off of here and get going on the rest of my 'To Do' or I will never get anything done.  Have a happy Hump Day!
