Easter hopped on off!!

Wow-- Can't believe how long it has been since I posted last... Sorry about that...

Let's get to updates... Well last week was trying to say the least, I had my oldest sick all week stomach flu and then on to Strep throat, I had to finish my Associate's Degree courses ( YEAH ME- I HAVE A DEGREE) then took the truck to Fairbanks, and oh yes EASTER!!!! Okay I will admit that I did pretty good on plan even when we went to Fairbanks ( although I did splurge a little) But Sunday-- EASTER BUNNY day I decided since it is officially the end of my first 6 weeks on this program and I was celebrating my degree I splurged all day... Oh yes that candy was yummy, the turkey dinner, the rolls, the stuffing, and a few tiny pieces of dessert. OKay I will admit that I did eat everything but in small portion sizes with serious moderation......It felt great to eat yummy food that tasted awesome......The only thing that truly bothered me was the milk products ( I am lactose intolerant though but usually force myself to eat cheeses and yogurt for calcium but with no milk for 6 weeks, yep it hurt... oh the cramps)

But with all good comes some bad.. So Saturday night it happened, my throat started to hurt, yep by Sunday it was worse, the chills, and the swollen lymph nodes in my neck, and today well I decided I better hit the doctor cause the hubby will be gone as of tomorrow for almost a whole week working at Summit and yep you got it... I GOT STREP... Oh and to top it all off my period started again today... This crap is old- I only finished like 3 weeks ago if that... I'm tellin you what children reek havoc on the ole body... Not digging it... So i'm miserable, sore, cramping, and feverish and oh yeah I still have to take care of the kids....Not so hot... I've been doing pretty good today eating on plan until lunch when firmer protein, carbs, and veggies came into play.. yeah choked down half without crying to bad and decided to forget eating, so I grabbed a super soft roll and some crystal light. Hopefully the antibiotics will be kicked in by tomorrow....

Well on the exercise front we walked 4 times last week all of which were between 2-2.5 miles each, Took Dawn one night and then the hubby and boys went with me all the rest... Was great and the boys are begging me to go for a bike ride each night and a walk for me so this is working out pretty awesome... I have felt bad about telling them no last night and tonight.. But I need to get better with the hubby gonna be gone. We will walk tomorrow... Should be almost myself by then......

OH update I did not lose any weight last week but I did not gain either which with being Easter and a period week... RIGHT ON.....

So it is officially 15 lbs down for 6 weeks and 25 -30 more to go.... Wish me luck.. I'll keep you posted on my progress this week.....
