The Past Two Weeks

The past two weeks have been a blur.  As far as the weight loss goes, I made it down to 10 pounds lost.  Yay.  Then, I gained three pounds back.  Boo.  I'm still there.   Double boo.  

I'm on track again.  Sigh.  Here's what I've had today:  

Breakfast:  turkey bacon and tomato wrapped in Romain lettuce with a little veggie cream cheese.  So delicious.

Lunch:  I had to run errands today and we were out during lunch.  We stopped at Papa's Pizza.  I had the salad bar and the toppings from 3 smallish slices of pizza.  

Snack:  broccoli, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, cucumber and a few slices of pepperoni dipped in veggie cream cheese.  

For dinner, I'll probably have another salad.  I bought a TON of Romain lettuce from Sam's last week and we're down to the last "heart".  Isn't that what they're called?  We need to use it before it spoils.  

I really need to step it up with my water.  It's been so cold that it's hard to get it all in.  I'm ready for spring.  


In other news, we got a dog.  This is Max:

Excuse the blurriness.  My phone takes awful pictures, but isn't he the cutest?  He's a Bichon Frise, which I had never heard of before, but all of the ladies at the Bark Park new exactly what he was and went on and on about what great dogs Bichons are.  So far, I agree with him.  He's six years old and hypoallergenic.  He's pretty chill most of the time, unless someone opens the front door, then he's out of here!  He has escaped 4 times.  Augh!  Other than that, he's the perfect dog for us.  

In some more other news, sickness is running rampant everywhere.  I think I had the flu this week.  I never had a fever, but apparently that doesn't matter.  I suffered through a few days by taking Advil round the clock and and doing what I had to do.  By Monday, Advil wouldn't touch my aches and my cough was terrible.  I'm feeling much better now, just need to get rid of this cough.  

I'm so ready for spring.  Too bad the groundhog saw his shadow today.
