Good point!

2hotinhere, you made a good point!  And one that I've said myself... that lots of things affect our diets and that some way or another, writing all that on here is all inter-related.  If I'm having a bad day (even fighting with the hubby), it all comes back to how I react to it... what I eat, what I do, and how I feel.  So, I think I may keep my blog on here... and I may use the other blog... I may even post on here and there about different things on different days at different times.  Not sure.  I don't know if I have time for both, but it would be nice to have somewhere to post randomly if I need or want to about anything I happen to feel like chatting about.  I will just go with my gut on it.  I have the page set up, but I have yet to post.  I'll let you guys know the link the next time I go on and if I decide to start posting.  Most days I barely have time to post on here, much less on there!

Speaking of being online, I gave Fit Day a small try... not a fan.  Hardly any of the stuff I eat was on there and I just felt like, I was having to manually input everything.  Now, granted, once its in there, it's in there and you just click to add it in.  But I feel like I've been doing this so long that I just want something simple.  So, I am just trying to keep each meal simple.  So far, I feel like it's working and I feel good.  I'm especially love the green shakes!  Yesterday was the Strawberry cream with Kale.  It was yummy and filling!  What's weird is, the more of the greens I take in, the more I want them.  I had that shake for my lunch and then by dinnertime, I was craving a salad SO BAD!  They just taste so good to me right now it's nuts!  I've always been a big fan of salads, but now it's in overload.  I am going to eat some other veggie tonight and some chicken... I don't want to burn out!  I HAVE been making an effort to use different greens and fruit each day.  Just seems the best way to make sure I get in a good mix of nutrients.

My weight was 196.5 this AM.  I'm not sure if I believe it, but I will take it!  I'm pretty darn happy with that!  I know it isn't 'official' until Sunday, but I'm pretty happy seeing it on the scale.  I won't lie, I stepped on there like 3 or 4 times because I thought it had to be a fluke.  In the end, it could still be a fluke, but I sure hope not!  Still not going to get my hopes up too high, but I'm going to stick with my shakes for now.  I'm feeling too good not to!  And well, seeing the weight loss is great, too!  My measurements seem to be about the same, but seeing as how there was only a 2.5lb. loss since the last measurements, I didn't think there would be.  I'm sure when my weight went it, they went up but I didn't take them then.  But that is ok.  I think by next month if I can stay pretty consistent, I will see some changes in that area.  I am going to make it a point to put the Pilates in now.  I am at 20lbs. lost from when I started.  30lbs. from my highest!  In about 4 more pounds, I will have less than 40lbs. to goal... I'm really excited for that and hope I can reach that this month!  So, I need to make sure to start getting the toning in so that I don't get all flabby.  I do plenty of walking and gardening and chasing after kids, but I need the Pilates for the toning and weight bearing benefits.

*sigh*  My kids are being a pain right now.  Oldest has swim in a bit and he's really pushing my patience.  I've had to get on to him a few times now (all for different things) and I keep losing my train of thought!  Aargh!  Anyways, going to try to catch up on some blogs tonight.  I AM reading ladies, I've just not commented as much.  A couple (like Didi's and Sistah Pat's) I'm having to think on what to reply.  Sometimes I know exactly what I want to say, and others I just draw a blank.  I don't know why that is!  But I'm here and reading!  And the more I think on it, I think I will stay.  At least for now!

Going to go now, chicks.  I need to get ready to go.  Hopefully the kiddos cooperate.  URGH.  AGAIN there goes oldest.  Lord help me!  Laters!
