Working It Out: This Is My Final Weight Loss Journey

Got up this morning with the same routine as always!  LOL!  Got Mark off to work with his egg muffins heated wrapped in foil and a hand towel and he reported later that they stayed pretty warm getting to the office.  I got on the computer and check in on my email and Facebook and the WW boards.  I then made me one more cup of coffee and got my grocery list together and I threw on some clothes and headed to the store.

I was really shocked putting together my grocery list that I didn't need that much for this week.  I spent $61 and that isn't bad.  I was disappointed that they didn't have my green leaf lettuce that is all washed up and had to settle for red leaf for our sandwiches.  This store is starting to peeve me a bit because they are always out of something on my list.  This store is huge too!  Crazy!

I got home and got the car unloaded and grabbed some breakfast and got off my feet for a bit since they were starting to hurt.  I watched some TV and messed around on the computer ad then I got up and got the Corn Chowder in the crock pot.  The onions and celery filled the house with such a good aroma.  I noticed that the recipe called for zero spices.  I thought to myself OMG not even salt and pepper so I added that on my own.  The chowder smelled the house up cooking all afternoon.

I got off my feet again and I actually took a little nap.  I got up and fixed some lunch and I cross stitched for a little bit before I measured out the flour and got the tools out that Mark would need to finish the soup while I was at Zumba.  I also had to write him out real plain instructions as he is not a cook but I knew that he would do great and by the time I got home from Zumba we would be ready to eat.

I really tried staying off my feet as much as I could today since I had gone to the store and cooked.  My feet just will ot take much.  I wanted to be o.k. to go to Zumba and I was.  I got my shower and I got dressed in my exercise clothes and I headed out for class.  This class is getting huge.  I bet there were over 100 people there last night.  I had my little spot to do my marching and my arm movements.  It felt good.  I can tell that I'm getting stronger and I bet in a couple of weeks I will be able to start moving my legs more.

After class I headed home and Mike called and we talked for a few minutes.  He didn't have a whole lot to say and I wondered why he even called.  Booger.  I got home and I came in the house and Mark had finished the Chowder just fine and had the baguette bread in the oven to have with it.  I went and changed my clothes and we sat down for dinner.  The jury is still out on the chowder.  It wasn't to die for but it was good.  I felt like it needed something like a can of green chilies but then I'm a spicy kind of girl.  The pepper that I added had really filtrated the chowder and I was happy for that.  I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of it!  I'll go ahead and post the recipe tomorrow but the picture will have to wait till the next time I make it and I would make it again.

We watched some TV and I had recorded The Bachelor and when it had finished recording I watched it.  It is late and Mark has already gone to bed.  I think that is where I'm headed.  Tomorrow is Anna and tomorrow I've got to get going on some house cleaning and washing clothes.

Till then...be strong and stay true to your program!  We can get this done!
