Really?  JesusWeen?  Saturnalia wasn't enough eh?  This must be a hoax.  If it isn't, well.... ugh.

Title says it all folks. Sydney and I made a batch of these delicious monsters just a couple minutes ago. I saw the idea in a Google+ post a few days back and had to try them with the kids. Now if we only had a deep fryer.

What a great week!  A 3 pound loss, but I am willing to concede 1.5 pounds because I was wearing shorts rather than jeans at weigh in this week.  The thing that made this week great is that I managed a loss while having eaten birthday cake, pizza, KFC, and Cracker Barrel.  I did step up the exercize this week though, going to the gym after work and trying to increase the amount of time I can spend on the eliptical machine.  I really watched my points too, still staying within my weekly limits.  I am thrilled with a loss while eating yummie foods.  Not that a carrot or broccoli aren't yummie, but you know what I mean.

Well wo-holy cow, I'm nearly not as fat as I was 2 weeks ago!  After gaining 1.2 pounds in week 4, I have somehow managed to lose .8 this week.  A loss despite donuts on Mother's Day morning, Pizza Papalis that evening, and Cracker Barrel the day before.  There is just one more temptation day left this month, and it's a biggie.  Whitney's birthday is this weekend.  I already feel the need for cake.

Week 4 didn't happen.  Ok, well, it did.  I gained.  I'm bummed.  I didn't want to post this, and honestly, waited untill the last minute to do so.  I think my schedule contributed to my gain.  I normally work midnights, but last week I worked afternoons.  I didn't feel right all week.  Adding to the odd shift, this is a month of holidays at the Eilers house.  Easter, Mother's Day, and Whitney's birthday all in 4 weeks.  Watching what we eat, and accounting for what we did has been tough.  I weigh in again this morning, we'll see what happens.

Week 3.  A week frought with danger.  A week that culminated with Easter at Cracker Barrel.  A week, that despite homestyle fried chicken, dumplings, corn, bisquits and honey, ended up with a weight loss!  I was shocked when I went to the meeting today, got on the scale, and saw a loss.  What a great feeling!  I wasn't eating all the best foods last week and did go over my daily points by 29, the most I have sice starting.  Keeping track of everything and not getting too out of hand paid off I guess.  I can't let this go to my head though, Cracker Barrel fried chicken can't become a staple - again.

Whitney and I joined Planet Fitness this week too.  They have a really nice facility in Southgate.  The memebership is reasonable and includes a ton of services that cost extra at other gyms we have been to.  They offer free instructed courses, massage chairs and tanning.  I look forward to accelerating my weight loss and getting healthier with Whitney.  

 I've ended week 2 with a small loss.  I am having trouble staying in my point range while keeping my blood sugar levels normal.  Since starting Weight Watchers I have had a hell of a time calculating how much insulin to take with my meals.  The calculations I used to use don't work any more and drop my blood sugar far too low.  So, I have to eat to get my blood sugar back to normal and that puts me over my daily points limit.  I will figure it out, but it was a depressing amount of loss after a tremendous 1st week.  A loss is a loss though, it could be worse.  Hopefully better results next week.
