Well we are headed for the Mountains ! I wont be posting till prob Tuesday next week, so I hope you-all have a great weekend.

Since I live out in the Wild Wild West, sorta speak, we have grocery stores that stock both food and boots; cowboy boots, work boots, and winter boots. I actually used to work as a cashier in the store and I loved it. I would get my all my boots there, really! We use boots a lot out here. In fact, I am taking a pair with camping this weekend! Gotta love the outdoors!

I dont really want this to turn into a Weight Loss Blog, but since we all are doing this Meme, I have all these possitive people around and I really want to stay focused and loose those 10 lbs that have crept on me over the past year.
So I have been blogging instead of eating. Today I had my regular Alternative Bagel with Weight Watchers cream cheese; total 150 calories (3 points), and what I have left to eat till I leave work is my Apple, raw Califlower and my sauted mixed veggies. No much, but if I keep my hands busy I should make it thru till I get home and have my Diet Coke w/Lima. *sigh*

Today is my Friday, so fun! We are going camping this weekend with Scouts. It is our annual Family Camp and they have projected about 150 people in total. We will definitely not need a Cat5e Keystone jack, as I don’t even know for sure if they have toilets up there! Anyways, I guess they have it all planned out pretty good as we only have to provide 2 meals for ourselves. So it will be easy camping for me. Since the kiddo and I don’t have a camp stove, we have to cook it all over a fire. Fun and tasty, but lots of work as well. I can’t wait!

I did good today ! I ate my very large breakfast this morning (off site work breakfast), and well, thats it ! Since I ate all my calories then, I could not eat anymore the rest of the day. and ya know what, I did it ! I kept on track and did good. I love the feeling of success, I need to feel this more ! I think too, that I am starting to detox and get those bad sugar cravings out of me. Always a good thing, wee hee ! !

I was once again, doing something I really should not do; watching the Nightly News. Today on our local news was the topic of Pay. I guess Utah is like 47th when it comes to the lowest ranking income. Meaning, we don’t get paid much. They were saying it’s because of all the Students and part timers, but I think thats bull. I have not had a cost of living raise in over 10 years! I, in a way, make less and less each year. Good thing we have Payday Loan establishments all over the place. I go around one corner and there another one. It’s really not a bad thing if you use their service wisely. In fact, getting paid every two weeks, like I do, keeps the money pretty tight. No Fax Payday Loans are pretty convenient, fast and easy. It’s always nice to have a backup plan as one never knows what the future will hold . . .

I am excited today. Here are work we are having an Off Site Meeting. Okay, its not really a meeting, we are just going to breakfast. We are going to Mimi’s Cafe. Not sure if you-all have them where you are, but they are a really nice breakfast and lunch place. Have not had dinner there, but so far the food is really good. I have checked the menu on line and I have decided upon the “Three Berry Stuffed French Toast Breakfast”
Here is their discription:
“French toast stuffed with cream cheese and orange marmalade, topped with blueberries, fresh strawberries & raspberry puree. Served with two eggs, bacon or sausage and fresh squeezed juice”
Calories 808
Total Fat 45
Fiber 6
I do Weight Watchers and that comes to 19 points. I am allowed to eat 20 points a day if I want to loose weight.
So. I can do this! I can eat this and have it the main meal today and for the rest of the day, eat only a small amount of veggies (as veggies are pretty much 0 points). OH, and a Diet Coke.
Yum !

Strangely enough, I like Boxing. I remember when my Dad and I used to watch the big boxing matching on TV together way back when. My Mom never did understand why I liked Boxing and Football, but now that I have a son, I know there is a reason for everything.
Yeah, it does sound strange, me being a gal and all, but I loved spending the time with my Dad and I always learned something new. Muhammad Ali, the Heavy Weight, and Sugar Ray, a Light Weight, were a couple of my favorites; never did like Tyson though, nope.
Now a days, all the hype is for getting Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets. Since the controversial match in May of ‘07, they are thinking of having a rematch. Tickets last year sold out in 3 hours, so if they actually go through with a rematch, wow, get your tickets on line and do it fast! However, there is still a lot of questions regarding the match and if the boxers are retired, and whatnot. One just never knows as the match was set for September this year, and that is still a long way away. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
