It's Cinco de Mayo! Which means only two more days until we have air conditioning finally. And it also means that my cousin's baby will arrive in the world possibly even before I finish this blog. I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about him.

I'll make a separate post once he's here and I have stats and pictures.

I'm going to keep this blog short. I promise!! I have another I want to start that will probably be a long winded one, and then once I have pics-a post about Baby Taylor, so this is mainly going to be a food log post.

John came home and told me that according to his weigh-in today for his PT test, he has lost 8 pounds since we were on leave at his parents house!!! So that's amazing! His new unit doesn't do PT...i think he's gone in once for a run or something then he had his PT test today, and he goes to the gym once or twice a week on his own, then he has his MMA workout on Wednesday nights. So I am really proud of him.

I am NOT weighing myself every day because that is just setting myself up for disappointment, but I did weigh myself today. So it's been 3 days since my last weigh in. Hey, I said I wasn't weighing *every* day, but I think 3 days is long enough to wait! Maybe eventually I can get it up to a week between weigh ins. At least since I tossed out the old digital scale, I have to go through the hassle of using the wii balance board to weigh in. Anyways, I am down another 2 1/2 pounds! Seems a bit excessive for a matter of three days, but i'll get to explaining that in my long winded post. So now I'm right up there with John at 8 lbs lost.

Dinner tonight is gonna be a YOYO (you're on your own) night since Chance has karate. And I am still on oven/stove strike until Thursday. I'll probably end up doing a salad and some fruit or something like that.

Ahhhh, I totally forgot to mention the fact that I logged a little bit of Wii time yesterday haha. I played the Mario Olympic game with Chance. Probably the most activity my body has seen since last July when I stopped going to the gym and that's sad since it wasn't all that bad. However, my right arm is telling a different story today. Every little bit helps right?

Enough of the babble-food log for today:

Breakfast-
bowl of Kashi Vive <----love this stuff! It tastes so good, that I don't think about it being super duper good for you.

Lunch-
slush consisting of one small plum, half a kiwi, handful of strawberries and some all bran thrown in.

Snack-
5.5 oz glass of low sodium V8 with 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract

Dinner-
it's not much of a dinner but it's one of those days. I made some homemade guacamole (avocado, tomato, green onion, garlic, lime, cilantro) and I'm eating it with some organic blue corn chips. Although, Tostitos think they are being some sneaky bastards since these chips aren't certified organic by the USDA, so they aren't 100% organic.
