Day 5's update...

Well, Holly and I made it to town this morning after breakfast and spent about an hour walking around JoAnn Fabric. She has decided that she wants to make mommy a new pair of PJ bottoms and a new purse so we spent a good amount of time looking for fabric I would like. Silly her, kept picking out baby patterned fleece for me... turtles, Snoopy, one even had baby toys & bottles on it! LOL... Finally found a yellow floral print we both liked, so that is what she will make for me. My purse is going to be a pink and brown floral pattern with a chocolate color lining. I think she is pretty anxious to get started on them, but I need to finish up my laundry before we can wash the fabric. Gotta have the clean work clothes. It will be completed for her though so she can start on them ASAP.

While walking around JoAnn's, Holly's stomach started making some awful grumbling noises. It was so funny! She's like, Mom, I gotta eat. It hadn't really been all that long since we had eaten breakfast, but I was actually starting to feel a bit hungry myself. She chose Subway for lunch, which I was kinda grateful for as I knew I could manage my calorie intake there.

On the way home, Holly wanted to stop at Starbucks to get her favorite drink. Some Double Chocolate Chip something or rather. Forget the actual name, just know it is very good and very high calorie. She had a gift card she wanted to use, so she went in and got what she wanted and I stayed in the car as to not be tempted by all the drinks and goodies. :)

Once I was at home, I started in on my grocery list and sorting through coupons, then hubby and I left for the commissary to buy groceries. Almost $200.00 later, our house is filled with healthy foods for my breakfast, lunches and our dinners...

By the time we got the groceries put away, it was time to start dinner. Holly had been wanting BLTs, which I had been thinking about too, so that is what we had. I had way too much bacon I'm sure, but the "bacon substitute" stuff I bought the other day... made of veggies and protein, well, that stuff was AWFUL so I gave what was cooked up to the dog, and threw the rest out...

Needless to say, I didn't end up with enough time to make it to the gym, but my hopes are that I can do a few strength training exercises tonight while I watch TV. Even if it's only my ab crunches on my fitness ball and push ups. It's better than nothing at all.

Today's Body Blessing:

B: 1 slice veggie bacon (YUCK), 1 slice of real bacon, 2 scrambled eggs, 1 biscuit with about 1/4 - 1/2 cup sausage gravy.
L: 6" Turkey Breast & Ham on Wheat Sub, loaded with lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, pickles, onions, tomatoes, black olives, NO Cheese or Dressing...
D: 2 BLT Sandwiches on light bread, Tator Tots.
Snack: cheese

Water: All day long...so far, three bottles I do believe.
