Good Things:
Morning walk with David
Showered and bible time before breakfast
Schooled them all
Walk to the library with most of the children
Great choices while eating out with David
Got in some wii tennis and boxing on our date night
Ended the day under on calories
The scale is still going down!

Not So Good Things:
Most everyone was crabby and irritable today, including me
This poison ivy is making me insane, it keeps getting worse and spreading more and more

I made another new recipe today, Sloppy Lentil Joe's. I tweaked this recipe a bit, omitting the sugar and adding in corn.  Everyone loved them!  Big hit and staying on the Keep List.  Every time I get a win like that, it gets me a little excited to try the next new thing.

It is so rainy and dreary here these days.  I guess it's good for getting inside stuff done, but I think we are all longing for some sunshine in our life again.

I'm down .4 pounds. Yay!  I didn't weigh in yesterday. I was just too tired. But tonight I'm still seeing the scale move down and that makes me very happy.  I had more grains than I intended to at dinner, but I avoided meat and had only the teeniest bit of butter and salad dressing. David had a coke for the first time in a long while and said he felt a huge buzz right off.

He's never complained about feeling strange after a soda.  I guess it was good to get it out of his system.  I had a cup of decaf coffee tonight after dinner as we worked through the chapter of the book we're reading.

 I feel like a complete traitor typing this, but...it didn't even taste very good. <gasp!>
