Working It Out: This Is My Final Weight Loss Journey

What a day!  I woke up still tired and sleepy.  I did my usual morning routine and after getting Mark out the door, I got on the computer for a while and fixed some oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast and fell asleep!  I woke up at 10:30!  ACK!  What is wrong with me?!!!

I got up and worked like crazy to get the Beef Stew in the Crock-Pot.  I managed to get it all done by 11:15 so I knew that dinner would be late this evening.  I called Mark and told him what happened and he just laughed at me.  He told me that he was going to come home for lunch today around 1:30.  That was going to be a treat!  I love having someone to eat lunch with other than the cats!  LOL!

I didn't feel like doing much of anything but watching TV till it was time to make my lunch and enjoy it with my Sweetie.  While Mark was home Mike called and he was yacky and I bet we were on the phone most of the time that Mark was here.  Poor Mark.  He was laughing at Mike cause he seems to always call at bad times.  I finally got him off the phone cause my Mom called and I did at least get to talk to Mark for a few minutes before he went back to work. 

After he left I did cross-stitch for a bit and watched some more TV and then I finally went and got showered and dressed and cleaned the kitchen up and fed the cats and talked Mark into going to the store after work to pick up a few things that we needed.  I did decide on a fish dish for tomorrow night.  We are going to have Pecan Crusted Mahi-Mahi, with fresh corn on the cob and a vegetable medley.

I did get the recipe posted for the Chicken but I haven't put the picture up yet.  My web hosting company changed the way that you upload pictures and I haven't figured out how to re-size my photos and get the water-mark on them so I will have to read up on that before I can get it done.  Hopefully tomorrow I can get that accomplished.  I just hope that I don't have to end up using Photoshop.  I have missed up more pictures using that software that doesn't come with any instructions.  I guess they think we are all geniuses!

The smell of the beef stew was driving me crazy this evening and I just wanted to leave because I wanted to eat the whole crock-pot!  I did manage to put the finishing touches on it and have everything ready to eat when Mark came home from work and the store.  OMG was it ever good.  That recipe is a keeper and will be go-to recipe for stew in this house.  It was fabulous!  You must try it.



Needless to say, I fell asleep tonight watching TV and now it it time for bed.  I sure hope tomorrow will be a better day for me.  I'm so sick of falling asleep and feeling so tired all the time.  This has got to end.  I'm taking all my vitamins and supplements and I should be feeling tops.  If it continues I'm going to the Dr. early for blood work.

I also want to mention that a few weeks ago I got a email from Julian Michaels.com and she talked about your active metabolic rate and how to figure it out.  I think that tomorrow I will try getting it copied over to the Articles of Interest page for all of you to check out.  I would like to find out what my active metabolic rate is.  Wouldn't you?

Make tomorrow count!  Be good!  Weigh-in Day is coming!  I think that this one will be a good one.  Let's hope that I don't screw it up!

Till later...
