Weighed in this morning and am still at 128....which I'm okay with, glad it didn't go in the wrong direction!!!

I spent this past weekend taking care of my 83-year old mother because my sister, who lives and takes care of our mom was out of town attending her boyfriend's family reunion in Tampa. I was at her house, which means I didn't log in my food, nor did I get much exercise done, so my points for the past couple of days will be extremely low! I did get my water in and as for sleep points; I think I'm looking good, because I would sleep when she would sleep!

Aside from that, I lost .6lbs! That's great, considering that my food intake was completely off! I wouldn't eat breakfast until after 12pm, have small snacks here and there and for dinner, we would have a very light dinner (my mom has a very small appetite). I’m sure my body was probably in its starving mode, which is possibly what brought on the headaches!

I had planned my breakfast, lunch, and dinner for this week, but I didn’t get the opportunity to go to the market to purchase anything, so today I’ll be at the mercy of fast food restaurants for breakfast and lunch! I think I’m on the right track for my selections. For breakfast, I stopped at Subway for a 3-inch flatbread sandwich with egg whites, tomatoes and red onions; no cheese, no salt, and no coffee! Let’s hope my lunch choice will be just as good!

It's official! I'm fully out of commission with my home Internet! My desktop computer is in need of a power supply and on Sunday, my grandson hit his head against my laptop and cracked the screen! I've always told my daughter that he has a hard head, now I have proof! :laugh: Yeah, I know this is no laughing matter, but it is what it is, so there's no need to :sad: about it!

I'm not so sure if having the laptop repaired is worth the money, when I can probably purchased a new one! I've had the laptop for 5 or 6 years and the desktop has been around for a much longer period. So, I think it's time to upgrade! However, it's going to be pretty hard to convince my husband! Maybe I can sweet talk him into getting 2 laptops (one for me and one for him); but he's a penny-pincher, so I know it's going to take a hell of a lot more than "please honey, can we buy it!" (if you know what I mean )

Aside from all that, I'm back to doing 30 minutes on the elliptical in the morning, and working on doing an additional 30 in the evening, in addition to my 30 to 45 minute walk with my dog! I had planned to join Lady of America this weekend, but since I was staying with my mom, I wasn't able to do it. My plan to stop by today, pay my membership fee and get started! Yea Me!
