TGIF? Bleh!

So, I'm feeling somewhat BLEH today.  My weight is 193.  That's not why I'm bleh.  I feel bloaty today and tired.  I feel BLEH because youngest was up during the middle of the night working my nerves!  He got up at 3 and it was darn near 6 before I could get him back to sleep.  I got to lay back down for maybe 30mins. and then I had to get up and get oldest off to school.  Then the bus ran early.  Thankfully I had felt like it would and we had gone out the door with his food in hand!  Sure enough, we had JUST crossed the road and he'd crammed in two more bites and BAM!  There she was.  I was like, REALLY?  I'm just glad he didn't miss it!  Honestly, I'm surprised that we've been pretty good about getting up and getting rolling in the AM for him to ride the bus.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to start getting up a bit earlier, though, because I've been having a hard time getting out of bed.  I am just SO tired the last few days!  If I didn't know better, I'd say I was preggo!  But I know it's just that we have run to death over the last week and now I'm behind and worn down.  And then every day I've had stuff to do and today is no different.  I need to do a load of dishes, laundry that I never got to the other day, vacuum and mop and even dust if I can.  I forgot to dust last night.  I just ran out of steam and got ditzy!  What I DID do was my coups and cleaned out the fridge.  Not to mention got all the counters cleaned off and hey, I have a SINK!  LOL  Yeah, we'd been in and out so much the dishes had piled up EVERYWHERE!  That's not like me at all, but I just hadn't had the time.  I need to finish getting caught up this weekend or going into next week will be AWFUL.

Oh, and I'm not worried about my weight.  I did well yesterday and the only thing I had that was high cal was the PB cups.  I had two at snack time.  I believe that's like nearly 300 cals.  But dinner was fairly light.  I had a beef frank and a big bowl of veggie soup.  I made my usual garbage soup, but I added a can of white navy beans.  YUM.  I guess that's why I only ate one beef frank -- enough protein from the beans!  LOL  I think if I eat it today, I will just eat it alone -- doesn't need anything else!  But I know my cals were good since the majority of the soup is celery and cabbage.  Well, and water.  It makes a HUGE pot so I know the beans didn't add too terribly much.  I think it's 100 cals per 1/2 c.  And I think there were 2 or 3 servings in one can.  That means about 300 cals for the whole batch.  Even if I ate one whole serving, that would be 100 cals but I know I didn't.  That pot still looks pretty full!  LOL  I added it all up one time and it came out to be more than 8 servings, but at 8 servings it was only a little over 100 each.  So, not too bad!  And I LOVE soup, so I may freeze up a few batches.  I know I will probably eat some at lunch and the hubby may want to take some, but the rest I think I will freeze.  That way it isn't wasted and I can have that as a quick lunch or dinner.  I am also thinking of freezing up some casseroles.  I just don't know which ones!  LOL  I can buy a pretty healthy version of lasagna from Stouffer's, but others I haven't seen.  So, I am thinking of buying some of those aluminum pans in small and medium and making up some.  Just not sure which ones to make.... Shepard's pie is quick and easy to make fresh so that is out.  But I need to figure out at least two.  Guess I will work on that here in a minute.  If I go to the store, I can go ahead and get what I need!

Anyways, I think I am all bloaty feeling since my cycle should start in about a week, lack of sleep, and some Halloween treats.  Which are going bye bye today when hubby leaves.  He was going to take it yesterday but didn't.  Our oldest has gotten into trouble for the last couple of days after eating it and part of his punishment is no more candy.  It's partially my fault.  I let him have cookies after school and then a couple of pieces of candy.  I may keep some for him, but the rest needs to go.  And I can tell you, and I will make it clear to him, he can still have candy and cookies, but not every day and not in the same afternoon.  We had been doing that, but I was off my game yesterday.  But that is not going to happen today.  We are both going to be better and I am going to get in a lot of water and flush myself out!  Plus, I hope I can go to the store here in a while and restock on our fresh stuff.  Once I do that and get in some water and rest, I think I will be good!  Well, except my craving day.  I hope that it hits early next week and I can just get it over with!

Well, this is going to be all for now.  I need to get going on those casseroles.  If you ladies have any ideas for healthy, easy, low cal casseroles feel free to pass them on!  :D
