STRESS!!!
The last few months I have felt stressed. Actually this started last year when David's OT was cut and for a few weeks, his regular hours. Then no pay raise. Emotionally I don't feel I can go back to a full-time job anywhere. So that leaves me the wedding business...which I am trying to figure out the best way to go forward with it. I need to change some things to well, make it less stressful! LOL! My heart has been palpitating alot the last few days and it is very annoying..and all the more STRESSFUL! I open bills and...more stress! When does it end? I am sure most of you can relate. National City Bank gets bought out and well, now we are PNC and whole new account numbers, changing the autopays, etc and that makes more....STRESS! Once it gets straightened out we will be fine--I hope! We are still paying on medical tests and doctor's visits etc. Somedays I feel so lost. No one seems to want to work with you. Just pray for us and me---I have prayed about the job thing in the past and really felt God was saying to stick with the wedding business from home. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe I need to sign up and sell from Etsy.com? Sorry this is not my usual weight loss blog but it is mutterings!

Biggest Loser is Back!!!!
It was a long two weeks for me with no "Loser" fix! I do enjoy taking in some of the Winter Olympics but I missed Bob and Jillian and the gang!
Today I did not drink the green stuff. I had an omelet of one whole egg and a white with peppers, onions and a few bacon bits and cheese. Also a 100% whole wheat toast. After the Oz was on I walked over to the next street to visit my friend Lori who is laid up right now from some major foot surgery. She can't get around much and I went to visit and take her some homemade banana muffins. I keep a few for myself *wink*. I make them with whole wheat flour and oatmeal, canola oil. Didn't use Walnuts today as I couldn't remember if her kids have allergies...found out they don't LOL! I also borrowed her "YOU The Owners Manual" to read. I would like my own copy someday though! OH---and she said I looked like I had lost weight since I seen her 3 weeks ago! I think I had only lost a couple pounds but it was nice that someone noticed, aside from David of course! I walked up to Lori's stayed a couple hours just chatting and doing alot of laughing, then walked back and had lunch. Today I had leftover "Ba-sketti" and a pecan, apple, spinach, mesclun, raisin salad. I could have just eaten the salad to be honest! I was stuffed for hours afterwards! Dinner was Chicken, carrots, Green Beans, Corn and homemade noodles all cooked together. It made a sort of stew! Tomorrow I will have to make sure I get a good workout in! I feel like I slacked off today. My next goal date is Oct 8th when my niece gets married. I want to be in better shape by then! Short term is May 15th for Race for the Cure! If only the snow would melt away I might be able to get outside more for the walking!
Everyone have a great evening! I may go have a little popcorn!

March On!
Happy March 1st! Boy did February fly by fast! Being the shortest month probably has something to do with that! LOL! Even though there is still snow on the ground (dirty and blah looking now!) I feel that Spring is on it's way! I have been making lists of what I want to plant this year. Tomatoes (always!) Squash, Cucumbers (for David) lettuces, and probably some mini pumpkins (for decorations at Lisa's wedding in October) I may pick up some other things as I browse the garden center sections at stores who knows!
I am continuing my quest for more activities. Looking out I se the sidewalks are mostly clear now and I may try out my new shoes. I bought a pair of L.A. Gear Walk-n-Tone shoes. They are supposed to help tone your leg muscles more then regular shoes. Not sure about that part yet but they are more comfortable on my feet then any other shoe I have had the past few years so that in itself is a plus! I'll let you all know how they go!
This morning I tried Dr. Oz's "Green Drink" Well--it IS March! LOL! I didn't have everything in the recipe but most things. Here it is if any of you get brave enough. I thought it was "ok". It is probably an aquired taste LOL! But I will have it again and maybe tweak something here and there.
Make the breakfast drink that Dr. Oz swears by! This "green drink" is high in fiber, low-calorie and rich in vitamins.
Ingredients
2 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 head of celery
1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root1 bunch parsley
2 apples
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. This makes approximately 28-30 ounces, or 3-4 servings.
Well, that is all for a Monday morning! I have to have David take my March picture in the next couple days so I can post it. I am losing about a pound a month I have figured. It is time to step it up again. I need to be walking more to ready for the Komen Race anyways!
HUGS! Have a greta Monday!
