Can you believe it?
It has been 11 days since I posted on here. I am so sorry! I have been so busy at work the last two weeks filling in for the executive Pastor's wife at the office. And then in the evening I had to catch up with all my growth group administrator stuff. Just suffice it to say...I have been swamped!
I feel lost...I don't even know what is going on with any of you! I promise to check on all of you this weekend tho! As for me, I have been doing a great job of maintaining. And I guess I should be thankful, and I am! I deserve to gain, as I have not had time or energy to cook the last couple of weeks. I am going to be much more faithful to my goals after Wednesday of next week when things get back to normal for me. I am not having a start over date...because I am not starting over! I will eat healthy whenever I can. That is just when I expect things to calm down for me.
I really would like to ask you all a favor tho! Those of you who are on weight watchers...would you please send me one (or 10) of your favorite weight watcher recipes? I know there are a lot of sites that have some recipes, but I want ones that you have tried and really like. I trust you all more than the sites. I am in a rut, and seems like I am just fixing protein, small amount of good for you carbs, and veggies. I need a little excitement in my menus, or atleast a change. If you can help, I would be forever greatful. Do I have to grovel and beg? Cuz, I will!
