Ooops.. Just haven't had much time lately, but good news! One month of Weight Watchers down and I'm down 13 pounds! I hit my 5% goal this month and still have at least 90 pounds to lose. It's going to be a long time, but I think I'm finally ready to just keep plugging away at this. Big boy turned 7 yesterday and had a blast at Chuck E Cheese. He got to go in the ticket blaster and ended up getting over 1200 tickets in there! It was amazing! He celebrated with friends and family and got his awesome cake (a ghost busters theme made by my best friend).

Back to topic though, In the last month, I've made quite a few changes in my eating habits, I'm pretty much eating nothing but fruits and veggies at work.. Eating no more than 6 points there, leaving the bulk of my points for home, where I'm cooking and just over tired, so I like to snack. I find low point snacks, and again lots of fruits and veggies. I want to say that even though they say at least 5 servings, most days I'm up to 8 or 9 or even more. I've found some awesome recipes that the boys even like and am learning to adapt some of our favorites to healthier versions.

I'm trying to up my activity as well, and one of these days I need to ask my leader how I should count my work. I spend 7 1/2 hours on my feet 5 of them lifting, moving, stacking, stocking, stretching, bending, ect.. I mean, hello, I stock the grocery aisles in Walmart.. Some of that stuff is super heavy! Think of 24 count cases of canned veggies, and me having to put them on shelves, still in the trays... It's not one can at a time.. The last hour and a half is what I like to call "step/squats".. I have a step stool, step up, zone a shelf, step off, zone a couple shelves, squat, zone the last of the shelves, repeat... For an hour and a half.. All the time, pushing a cart along with me for empty cardboard and drops (items that don't belong where I'm at)... This work makes it difficult for me to add in any activity at home.. I'm just too tired, and napping sounds much too tempting. During my weekends though, I do manage to get more activity in and usually enough to get in the 14 points they recommend.  I just wonder if I'm earning more than that through my work.

But I must go and clean now (a never ending battle for a mom of two crazy boys!)
