The Brit Bride

Hey everyone! Julia over at The Brit Bride did a post on me yesterday! Check it out if you have the chance! She's getting ready for her wedding so wish her luck when you're over there!

Also, if you haven't gotten a chance to check out my "Get Educated" section of the blog, now's a good time! I've been adding some articles and videos there. Specifically a video on HFCS and a study on how lack of sleep correlates to lower weight loss. A lot of the information there comes from friends and readers so I would love your input if you have a study or resource worth sharing!

Have a great day everyone!

Tuesday W36.

Today, was the best day ever! I am still not feeling so hot and I wasn't looking forward to going to work today, but it turned out to be a great day.

I had some pumpkin toast (again) 2pts for breakfast. Matt caught the little guy and I on camera during our morning routines.



At work, I got an awesome surprise! Allee sent me flowers for my birthday! I've never been sent flowers before so I was WAY EXCITED! They are tiger lilies (some of my favorites) and came in a huuuuuge box. It was awesome. I need to take a picture of them at my desk. The bday message was so sweet. I love her. :)

After that terrific surprise, Matt came and took me out for a surprise lunch date. I don't work on my actual birthday so he thought it would be more surprising to capture me the day before! I had been lookin forward to my tomato bisque soup, but was happy to get out of the center on a whim with the hubbs. We went to a sandwich shop near my work. I had 1/2 an 8" turkey, bacon, avocado sub for 8pts. The market subs are soooo good. It was a fun change of pace.

I worked late today, but it was fun so I didn't mind. Plus Matt had a softball game and I wasn't planning on going because my ear is still messed up. PS- The vicodin made me super nauseous and dizzy after lunch. I don't like taking it. 

When I got home, it was already dinner time. I had the 2nd half of my sandwich for 8pts

Matt got home pretty soon after I did. They won the softball game; go hubbs! We then tried out yet another surprise from work today- home made sour dough bread my boss made me. Soooo good. I had 2 thin slices for 3pts.


It was a great pre-birthday. Thanks for making my day, everyone! Also, if you missed my wine weekend recap or Monday weigh in, you can find them here:
