Sunshine of Autumn Quilts

Blessings

Wow I don’t know what happened this year but all of a sudden I feel like a sought after sub. It is AWESOME> however, I am worried I wont have time to quilt. I really need to get on a good schedule. I also need to put quick foods together. Soups/salads etc. Today I was so hungry by the time I was on my way home I had no intention of trying to figure out what to eat for lunch. My full subbing days I really need to have a good plan since I will not get a morning or afternoon snack. I think salads work great just need to make sure I have meat cut and cooked up so its salad ready.

I know I can do this, just need to really put forth the effort to take care of myself. I want to make sure I add calories for times that I am subbing and on my feet and doing a tremendous amount of walking. The coaching days will really be like that. Not sure how to figure that out.

I am excited, scared and just so blessed

Mommy vs Money

This morning I feel horrible leaving my daughter sick in bed while I take a morning shift working. I had it already scheduled and hated backing out. I realize she will probably sleep the entire time. I gave her meds, some food and she is asleep now I just hate feeling like I am choosing money over her. This is the problem with working moms. I am praying my husband will choose to go to the dr today too. I could not get him to take off this morning so they could both go in. Very frustrating. I hope he realizes if we all get treated but he does not it helps no one. UGH!

Flax Seed

My husband is sweet and made me a smoothie for dinner, have to have yogurt and cheese while on the antibiotics. He added plain yogurt, a banana, oj and flax seed.

MAJOR DISGUSTING!

Had to have him add some strawberries/blueberries to cover up the disgusting flavor. Gonna be a rough week finding something I like. I don’t care for the texture of the flaxseed in my smoothie at all.

Mucking out Stalls/Cages

I never think to include mucking out the cages of chickens, rabbits and quail as part of my exercise. On occasion I have included the activity of feeding them and giving them water as exercise because it takes a while. Today was a lot of work, not to mention its still hot outside so I sweat a lot too. Since I didn’t get a chance to walk I am writing it up as calorie burning. It took over an hour! They sure smell a lot better. Tomorrow I hope to attempt to push mow some lawn.

Ha ha see I told Paul that I was hesitant on making them for that reason. I have a hard time with snacks. I get drawn back to the kitchen to often.

Yeah but even so, they’re still better for you than chips or something and probably better than just eating some low calorie/fat crackers because the fats and whole grains have health benefits.

I’ve actually only eaten 2.

The force is strong with this one.

That is awesome that you have only eaten two. I have done good to not snack lately even though I want to often. Your idea on apples worked well and I like triscuits

Current Events

My son 8th grade has to write up a current event essay every week. Great idea but the first one is due Friday. Of course I admit I don’t watch much local tv, I pretty much just borrow DVDS from the library, so I have NO IDEA what has been going on. It can’t be sports related, it can only be weather if it is a major disaster, they would prefer it to not be the last hurricane, they want something that affects a lot of people

Any ideas?

Thankful to not have Strep

Well I am at 124 lbs. that is exciting. I still have one more pound to loose to be where I was prior to really diving into the MyFitness.Com stuff. We do have to take prednisone and augmenten. Means lots of yogurt to fight off the yuck caused by that stuff. I see smoothies in my future.

I am hoping Zekaryah can heal quickly since he has his first official cross country meet this Friday. Thankful for mommy wisdom that just made me do appointments, which my husband did not feel was necessary.

I totally cheated today and got a snack size of chicken bites however I still stayed strong and avoided the coke. Hard to do sometimes.

Not feeling well

Time to head to the dr. One of the boys has had a sore throat since Friday, its worse I think. Last night I really didn’t feel good. Sore throat etc. Didn’t keep breakfast down yesterday, had no appetite all day. Today I finally got around to eating top ramen and am just thankful it stayed down. I honestly didn’t think it would. All I want is a SHAKE! Praying my scale and the drs scale matches.. or that theirs is better :-)
