Summary - First day back at work, not a lot to blog about, glad to get the first day under my belt and it was fun having everyone say how different I look as most haven't seen me in the last couple weeks (due to back surgery) and the Shape results were more apparent after an absence. Definitely felt good and accomplished so I followed up a +.2 this morning with a lentil soup cheap night! Yay! Not the plan but it was a moment of weakness. Definitely need to get back on board and start chugging away tomorrow on some exercise. Had an exercise fail today, gotta move it tomorrow.

Summary - Today was a great day at church. We had Sunday school as usual and we talked about obedience in general and how God calls us to be obedient in different ways. It was very cool. We had 10 in attendance and we all took turns reading from the scripture. The message today in the main service was around the lesson of Mary/Martha and how they each served and were attentive to the Lord in their own way. Sometimes we are too much like Martha and are anxious about making sure everything is perfect when we need to remember to be more like Mary and just concentrate on Jesus.

Today was a low key day, I had to buy some new clothes from Kohl's to help fit after my recent weight loss so that was cool. I'm also in the 200's today! Sweet! I'm pretty excited and hope to see the number continue to drop so I stay comfortably below the 300's and never go back!

I'm back to work tomorrow after my surgery and I'm excited to get back into the swing of things. I usually drink more water when I work (just seem to drink more when I talk so much all day) so that will help me stay hydrated a little better than the past week. Also I've had 3 days straight with no exercise but good weight loss numbers. I'm looking to walk Monday-Friday for 30 minutes this week and take the weekend off. Let's see how it shakes out. God bless!

Summary - Today was a great day because we woke up. But besides that Mimi had a clean bill of health from the ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor and a decent hearing test. She talks a lot so that is good, and her testing was a little tough since she's pretty young to do some of the tests and she loses interest in others. But overall very good job by my little girl.

I had a great day today, I'll be honest - I'm not a big shrimp fan really. I love it like 1-2 times a year with shrimp cocktail and I will go to town but 1-2 times a week is a little much. I will be tailoring my FYV meals for next week to feature the chili, the buffalo chicken and a few of my other favorites!

It was nice to have a break from walking today, even though it's really not hard to do. I'm only 2 weeks out from surgery and I have been pushing myself pretty good. So I'm happy both with my walking so far and with a day off.

I need some new supplies (apples, strawberries, fresh blueberries) so I'll be running to the store tomorrow to replenish. Tomorrow is one of my favorite FYV days ever, both chili and buffalo chicken! Score!
