HeartShaped Pizza and Apple Crisp!

Oh my...Johnny was invited to a playdate today and he is super jacked about going.  We did have a crying fit when he asked me to buy him some angry bird star wars stuffed animals because AJ(the kid he is playing with) has them and he wants to play and his sister doesn't have any so we need to make sure she has one.  I told him no we are not buying any and I am sure AJ has a few he can play with and he can bring the one he has over(he does have one)...the perils of a spoiled only child.  Hubby wanted to go get him one...I almost cut his ear off and threatened his manhood...ok I threatened his manhood...his buddy Tim was over and I did all the threatening in front of him...guess that counts as taking a man card away--:)
I think I will let the boys have the papa Murphys heart shaped pizza on Wednesday(they look so cute)..in case you are wondering..I usually have a salad when they eat this...dough is tricky for me and I would rather not chance it.

I also got to go get my valentines day gift for hubby...still planning on putting together the candy bouquet but I need to go get ingredients.(and not eat it in the process)
Got on the scale this morning and back down to 197...so that is nice..only 4 more to be back to 193..shhhesh...that is depressing.
I have quite a few apples left so I may do an apple crisp.....mmm

I ordered my bountiful basket for this week...I so missed getting it last week.
I am also excited for this weekend...lunch with my AZ bander girls!!!

At car dealership with my legs in the air...or thats how it feels!

So I got my fill of 0.30 cc's that takes me up to 4.1  My no go is 4.4 so I am still a little less and could possibly get .2 if this  doesn't do it....not too happy that I weighed in at 201...YIKES back in the 200's was not happy about that.
He also told me I need to drink more water that is why I am so gassy.  Which I concede is always my problem!
So this fill seems a little tighter... but nothing bad...I am on foods today and don't seem that bad.

I am also at the dealer..my check engine light came on as did my off trac lighting...which was weird so I brought it in, and I am told...its your gas cap...that will cost you $88 for that diagnosis and for us to put a $10 gas cap on...oh bother......he said that he got another reading on my coil and that its misfiring...that is $250 but he said lets wait and see if the gas cap does the trick...if not I have to come back for the coil....OH BOTHER...oh and that is not covered in your extended warranty...of course not...can I shank you now or later when you know I will be back....
Oh and here is the clincher...they are remodeling so I am sitting in a trailer here in the back of the property...with 6 old men...because I am in Sun City...which is an old peoples community...but its where I got my car...
So I am kind of happy its only $88 today(and I have a coupon for 15% off) but I am kind of figuring that I will be paying another $250 by the end of the week....talk about living on egg shells..waiting for the light to go off(kind of like Pavlov's dog?)
I think I hate mechanics worse than politicians and lawyers......

TTT a little late..this Friday

1.  I know late on the TTT but hey couldn't think of anything yesterday.
2.  I so can't believe the scale this morning..yikes...that fill can't come soon enough.
3.  I have been unbelievably gassy this week.  Not in the expel gas sort of way..just built up and tummy hurts.  I had to get gasx chewables and that seemed to help some.  Not sure where all this gas is coming from...really not eating any different from normal?
4.  I really want a water difuse pitcher...I better get one for valentines day!.
5.  I made these ham egg cups for breakfast this week. Less than 100 calories each...I can eat two every morning..they are yummy

6.  Still haven't gotten hubby anything...thinking about making him a candy bouquet(home-made)..he loves candy so much and is skinny..why not?

7.  I am meeting up with some girlfriends to see the movie Side Effects....Can't wait..lots of cuties to drool over and the movie looks killer!

8.  I get my fill tomorrow morning...CAN'T WAIT!
9.  Wanted to get Johnny a valentines..thinking about getting him an angry bird star wars stuffed animal.

10.  I want to do some cool things for Johnny on Valentines day...thinking about making his sandwhich in the shape of a heart.  what other things could I do?

Crappy food at school parties.....enter Debbie Downer...

So I got a take home flyer for Grandparents day at school.  They are asking for the parents to supply stuff for the party...which they are going to make banana splits?  WTF!  Sorry, I am so disappointed with class parties always being unhealthy.  I just got the list of items needed for the Valentines party...cookies, frosting, chocolate, sprinkles....and at Christmas it was cookies, frosting, hot chocolate, marshmallows ...So I went to the school with a mission yesterday...to ask for fruit or veges instead of always cookies and candies...I mean really with this day and age and all the overweight kids...can't we come up with some healthy options in there.  So I wait until I am one of the last moms there at pick up...one mom was hanging around telling the teacher how sick her kid is(I was trying hard not to role my eyes...I mean really how many times can you say he has a fever, throwing up that we all believe you)  I then ask the teacher "Do you think it would be ok to suggest we have maybe fruit kabobs in addition to cookies at the valentines party? Or would the homeroom mom object?"  Teacher "Oh I am sure she would be ok with it"    She proceeds to say maybe we should have spinache cookies also...I gave her my ARE YOU SERIOUS or giving me a bad time look but got no read...so I just laughed it off..saying I didn't want to be the mom the kids hate.....can you say awkward?

Ok, so I decide I will bring fruit to the next function(Valentines Day)...along with the juice boxes I had signed up for.....I am expecting  next school party to have an option of fruit in the sign up list or I may come unglued.  Then the mom with the sick kid said "I am so glad you said something I think its terrible that its always cookies and candy(umm I didn't put it that way, but yes) and I will brink watermellon...um, ok  Then she says she wants to invite my son to her sons birthday party in 2 weeks and that she is not inviting the whole class and such...I felt a little awkward as my son never talks about her son but I said sure..we would love to.
As for weigh in Wednesday..I forgot..maybe subconciously or not as I did eat a big dinner last night (left over meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans AND a salad) then had my skinny cow ice cream sandwhich AND 2 granola bars..ughhh...I was an endless pit yesterday..so darn hungry...my fill can't come soon enough!

Ice cream and fills!

So I made a fill appointment for this Saturday...which is probably a good thing.
I did not want to get on the scale yesterday because of the superbowl feeding frenzy.  I hopped on it today and choked..yikes up 3lbs..now I know I did not eat that much...but I bet it shakes out to being up a pound by weigh in wednesday.
Yesterday I made a turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans...I ate a plateful...seriously no problem.  The green beans were yummy they were fresh and I cooked them with Chicken broth and fresh garlic. Yum Yummy and everyone in the house ate it all so I know it was a hit.
I have been having a yummy skinny cow ice cream sandwhich at night that I need to stop...but boy are they yummy

I printed out the W2 this morning...time to start gathering my tax stuff to see how much I owe...I just have this feeling I will owe again this year.  Hoping its not as much as last year.  I decided I would do my taxes myself this year because every year I have hired it out we have owed and there is something about paying $260 and oweing.  I personally think the tax guy should give better advice for what I pay him for .. I don't think I should owe each year.  We have been adjusting our taxes too with his advice but it is never enough.  We started out oweing $4800 then $3200 and last year $1200 so I kind of have this feeling it will be $600 this year....we use to get money back every year but then I have fewer and fewer deductions that I can take it seems.

Crappy Sunday Eater Here...paying for it today!

Had a great day on Saturday..Sunday...just plain bad.  Let my bad mood derail me.  Ate terrible.  I am paying for it...had a bad night sleeping been up with a tummy ache...I am sure its the food and quantity I ate.I feel gassy and achy.  I had frozen yogurt, jalapeno poppers, chicken, cereal(2 bowls of honey bunches of oats).  Maybe it was the milk.
So today is a new day...a day to go back to eating better.  I am also calling for a fill.  Weight is not moving, I can eat more than I should and I am struggling to make good choices.
I noticed a faint noise on my car brakes...probably have another month before I need to have them replaced.  Ugh...I hate that expense...I only like to spend money on fun things....like below..

I did buy a new landyard for work...my other one broke...I went to the coach outlet and found this for under $20 so I got it.

I also went to bath and body and traded in some lotion my mom had gotten for me for Christmas for different scents..so that was fun.

Chocolate covered bananas...Yum Yum

Had a pretty good day yesterday.  I never made it to making my potato soup and freezing it, will try and get to it tonight.  Hubby finished off the tomato pie I made yesterday so I was not tempted with it, only had one small slice of it and feel good about that.
I will be honest..no exercise in a couple days..I need to try to hit the elliptical tonight.
I have been craving sweets and I got these chocolate covered bananas that I just love as a treat...not too bad at 100 calories a serving and I do stop at 1 bag.

We have a family lunch tomorrow and I pick up my bountiful basket which I am looking forward to seeing what I got for next week.  Have the superbowl on Sunday..hope to stay awake for that.  Made some plans with some girlfriends for February that I am stoked to hang out with.  I don't really do much or plan much that doesn't involve Johnny or hubby so this is good for me to go out and do girlfriend things.  I noticed the weight is still staying the same...but my food is at the top end of calorie scale.  I have been toying with a small fill but I also am enjoying not worrying about eating things..I know if I go for that fill it will limit me and I am not sure that is a good thing.  I want to see a drop in the scale next week before I make that call.
