Friday May 11.....

Sorry I missed posting yesterday. It was a busy day. I did make hearts.....



I had to pull Emily from school yesterday morning..... she got her braces off.
A before and after photo!

After braces came off!
Then she wanted McDonalds.....and then it was rush to get home and grab a water for Aidan and get him from school. Go across town for 3PM eye appointments! According to this doctor glasses were not needed for either child! Yippy! Emily did not want to part with hers so we had them pop the lenses out to donate and she has the frames still. We got a couple pairs of sunglasses for them.... got to protect those pretty eyes in this Florida sun.

When we got home... it was time to fix dinner. Aidan wanted a burger and would not try the keto friendly cheeseburger casserole (which needed a little more salt since I forgot to add salt in the last two steps.) Greg said  I can make it again! Lots of calories but the net carbs were low. I am losing weight so I'll stick with the Atkins diet I am on. The clothes are feeling much better on and the new ones I got in the last year are feeling too loose and the ones I wore for years I can fit into again! I'm shooting for another 4 pounds to loose before heading to VT next month. Then I'll fit nicely into the jeans I ordered last summer in my 'normal' size and can wear them up there! 10 pounds makes a big difference. Hopefully another 10 off by the end of the year and I'll be back near my marriage weight from almost 12 years ago. That is the goal.

Here is the link for hearts.

I know what you mean about just loosing a couple pounds - sometimes it takes forever and people keep telling you that you don't look like you need to loose anything - I've got a stubborn 6 pounds all around my middle and hips - it makes the jeans and capri's just not feel comfortable and I don't want to spend money on new ones - I just want to be comfortable again!

Yeah for no more braces! Bet that feels awesome. Good job on the weight loss. It's nice to have your clothes fit well.

Pretty hearts too.
