I was a little frustrated with my lack of weight loss this past week, so I decided to make a change. I decided to cut my calorie intake back, WAY back. I started this on Friday and weighed in this morning and I lost a total of about 6 pounds over the weekend, SIX POUNDS!! How did I do it? Well, here is a quick rundown of an average day of meals:



Breakfast:

3 Egg Whites (scrambled)- approx 15 calories/egg white

My husband is about the nicest person in the world. If you want a problem solved, he can figure out the solution. If you're in need of an encouraging word, he knows the right thing to say. In fact, he'd probably give you the shirt off his back, he's just that sweet.

Except in the morning. That is the time you see the dark side of the man I married - a guy I call the the doomsayer of dawn.

"I just don't remember winters being this bad before," he'll mutter as he gets dressed.…

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life. ~Chinese Proverb

I’m the first to admit that my level of patience is not the best.  I’m always in a hurry.  Let’s not even talk about this microwave society that has me thinking I can have whatever I want when I want it.  Go figure…  So when I have to wait for anything I’m not happy.…
