Good morning everyone! Having a rough time with the kiddo this morning. His big sister won't be riding the bus home with him tonight because she has choir practice, so therefore he doesn't want to go. I was tempted to pick him up after school, but I can't realistically do that every Tuesday. He will have to get used to riding the bus alone sooner or later, might as well be sooner. It's the same driver and all the same people as every other day of the week, he will survive.

Won another junk food battle last night. We had to go to the mall so my husband and son could get fitted for tuxes for my BIL's wedding. By the time we were headed home it was late and everybody wanted to stop for a hot and ready pizza. Ugh. At this point I was hangry because I hadn't eaten since lunch, and now the pizza temptation... I managed to say no to the pizza and had some eggs instead. It wasn't easy but I survived. The fresh reminder of the impending wedding helped. I'm going to have to dress nice if my husband is going to be wearing a tux! Sucks though because he will be sitting with the wedding party and I will be entirely alone... my in laws don't like me much. Good times.

I procrastinated on the gym, again! I need to break that nasty habit. Today I really am going, for real. I always seems to be able to come up with plenty of reasons why I shouldn't lol. Homework, housework, etc.

I bought some new greens for my green smoothie. It's spinach with power greens, at least that's what it's called. (spinach, bok choy, and some other ones I don't remember) Comes bagged already washed and ready to use. From there I bag it into ziplock bags and toss them in the freezer. Then when it's smoothie time I just crunch them up and put them in the blender, works amazingly well. Blueberries are the fruit of the week, as they were the only 'berry' I could find in the frozen fruit section. I try to stick with berries as they are lower in carbs than most other fruits. I might add a banana though, we will see how it tastes before. My morning smoothie is kind of the only fruit I get for the day, but it's a hell of a lot more than I was getting before. And it should equal out to 2-3 servings so I guess it's all I need.

Well I would love to stay here journaling to you guys but I have to go live this crazy life. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! Have a great day!!
