Well, I'm not a princess, my daughter-Jocelyn- is "a princess" or so she keeps saying over and over again while running in literal circles. It's only 7:30 am. Her twin, Adey, woke up this morning with a raging fever. Because she usually has complex febrile seizures (they look like grand mal seizures that last 5-20 minutes of shallow/no breathing) I immediately went into doctor mode. I got her down stairs gave her Tylenol and Ibuprofen and then her add on med for when she has a fever (to try to prevent big seizures). She had 2 or 3 mycolonic seizures in the mean time, but it's 8:07 now and we haven't seen a big one yet. Success? Perhaps.
Yesterday was an amazing day. We made it to our home church for morning worship. It was so good to be home and see all of our friends and people who have given us so much support. Next we headed downtown for some "Saturday Market" and enjoyed some food and and a stroll along the water front. It was in the 80s- a kind of day us Oregon folks drool over in April. Then we headed over to a park to meet up with friends. Our kids played and enjoyed swinging and running in the grass. I played tag with our oldest daughter (today my heels are feeling the burn of sprinting). We came home had chicken and wedge lettuce salad. Yum.
Yesterday also did not include heart rate increasing exercise...and today the scale reflected that (up 1.6 lbs from Friday). But, what can you do? I can't live in a gym. Balance. I also didn't eat super well yesterday for lunch and didn't have much water or protein. Jessica and I split some sweet and sour chicken and white rice for lunch. After we ate that we saw a great looking natural burrito place. Next time.

This is the beginning of our veggie garden. I still need to get the soil delivered for our front garden, but I am surprised to see just how well these little guys sprouted in 4 days time! We have green onion, cucumber, zucchini, peas, beans, beats, kale, corn and pumpkins. The last two rows are barely up and I didn't label them so, I guess when/if they come up it will be a surprise! We will need to buy tomatoes, peppers, basil, sage, and a few potate's. Maybe watermelon. I've never had success with watermelon here though. It doesn't ever seem to stay warm enough.

I also purchased some PB2- with chocolate. Holy mac-n-cheese. Where has this stuff been all my life? It takes like a peanut butter cup. Katie (from runsforcookies) eats cold oatmeal with peanut butter in the bottom of the bowl. So this morning I mixed up some BP2, added chocolate and plain almond milk plus a half cup of old fashion oats and waited for about 15 minutes- it was delicious! I wanted to eat 15 more bowls but I figured that would put me over my calories. And this week I need to be very strict about my calories because I need to get out of this stay the same weight for ever phase. If I can just break the 190s!
What have other people done to get out of a weight loss plateau? One of my friends tried the cabbage soup diet, another person I know cut out carbs...I need ideas!
