Good Evening Friends & Family!! 

I'd like to say Mark and I have NOT thrown the towel in, we are just super busy with our family! 

We have stayed focused and on track:) I want to discuss something that I remembered from 1 of the like 6 times I joined weight watchers. It's called B.L.T's. It doesn't stand for one of my all-time favorite sandwiches, bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwiches. It stands for Bites, Licks, & Tastes while cooking, cleaning up kids plates, adding cooked food to storage containers..etc. ALL of those moments...you can consume..100's of extra calories. Today however, I made BACON...and for the 1st time ever...I did not have to eat a piece while I was cooking the remainder :) That is super good for me because I LOVE bacon! So beware of these moments, that you take in much more than you should. I have also been putting away food ASAP so it isn't sitting around, screaming at me to eat MORE:) Our kids LOVE Mark's pancakes and my bacon (we cook together, I know it's sexy:)) Anyway today, we made this for all four kids. I made for us, two pieces of whole wheat toast, 1 whole sliced fresh tomato, one piece of cheese half on each piece of bread, a half portion of mayo on the bread and 2 pieces of bacon laying across both open faced slices of bread with toppings (Mark had 3). We sat down at the table and ate this with a knife and fork. We felt satisfied and did much better on our carbs/calories than having what we made for the kids! 

We are also keeping the water going without fail. Each at least consuming 5-6 20 oz containers a day. 

I still haven't succumbed to using my fitness pal app, and I NEED to do this and stop guessing, I'm okay on calories. Also, every day progress has helped so very much in our home. I have never been so very close to being caught up on laundry!! YAY, we soooooo can do this!!! 

Have a great Sunday!  We will be out of town helping our grandparents pack up their apartment. I'm planning on taking some drinks and food so we don't fail on the road. Like someone brilliant once said "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Nope not us!!! <3 <3
