I'm sure everyone is busy enjoying their Saturday or slaving away somewhere *wishing* they were enjoying their Saturday, at least! :) I had a nice day. I got to spend the whole day at home, clad in PJs, and I never even showered. How's that for a mental pic?! Ha!
I tracked my points today and did pretty good with water. I am drinking a bottle that will put me at 60 oz at the moment. Not sure if I'll get in another 20 or not. I always get in less water on the weekends somehow. I didn't exercise today. I ended up not getting in bed until 2:06 am. Blah. I slept until 10:00 am, but the kids kept interrupting my sleep from 7:00 am on. That was annoying. Lol
I made some brownies today but used applesauce instead of oil. I only had 2 very small squares. Again, this is a victory for me. I usually plan to only eat 2 but then eat at least 2 more. Not sure why I'm doing better this time around.
WI this morning was a maintain. I'm happy about that. I mean, I'd be happier with a loss, but considering our Vday date, chocolate chip pancakes, and pizza all in one week, a maintain is a real blessing in disguise. I was so thrilled not to put a plus sign on the WI page!
That's about all, folks. Nothing new or exciting to report, and hardly anyone reads on the weekends anyway. ;) I will save my bablings for the week when you will be forced to read them. Bwahaha
Night!
I read on the weekends, lol! Love your blog! It really helps me to see what others are eating.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Renaie!
Deleteyour post made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteTotally interested in how you used applesauce as a replacement for oil?? I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are supposed to use unflavored applesauce. I read in one place that you should do half oil, half applesauce - not all applesauce. Yesterday, I only needed 1/4 cup oil. I used mostly all applesauce and just a tad of oil. I know when I first started trying, I googled for more info. That would be more reliable than advice from ME! ha! :)
DeleteI read your blog on the weekends! To save a trip to the vet, apply polysporin or something similar on your cat's eye. It is safe and effective. I use it on my cat and dog when they have a scratch or sore. This is what our vet told us a long time ago. Your cat will take her paws and start wiping it away but it will still be in her system. Her eye should get better. Have a great weekend Staci. We have a holiday on Monday so this is our long weekend in Canada. I am glad to here you didn't have a gain this week.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I have weekend readers, Sheila! I read somewhere else to apply the polysporin and have been. Today, though, his eye started pouring blood after the pus came out. I am worried about him. I have contacted a local agency that assists with vet medical needs. With 4 kids, we just don't have extra money to deal with this. I'm hoping to secure some help before going to the vet.
DeleteYou are doing awesome!! I bet you will love your Brooks. I run in Brooks Glycerin 10s, and they feel great.
ReplyDeleteI sub applesauce for oil in a lot of things I bake. Even for pancakes, Dutch Babies, breads....
You could also sub plain Greek yogurt too. It makes items very moist. I did this yesterday when making banana bread. Delish
I hadn't thought of subbing Greek yogurt. I bet that really WOULD make things moist! Thanks for the tip. :)
DeleteA maintain is so much better than a gain!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I used to hate a maintain, but with all the gains I've had lately a maintain is lovely! Lol
DeleteI have trouble getting in all my water on the weekends too. I used to think it had something to do with going to the office, but now that I'm working from home, I still have that problem. It is better, but a bit more of a challenge on the weekend.

Maybe it's our mentality of "it's the weekend." ??? Lol, I dunno!
