I bet the neighbors were laughing at us yesterday! We laid sod and had 2 empty pallets still out in the yard and I was so sick of looking at them. DH kept saying hed break them down and get rid of them, but he just never got around to it before he left. So since the trash was going out the next day and it was pretty empty, I decided Id do it myself. Both kids are out there with me and my hammer, trying to bust these things apart. DS10 kept jumping on the wood, trying to break it. Im sure it looked pretty funny! Mind you it was still over 100 degrees outside and I was in my workout clothes and DS decided to take his shirt off, showing off his 410 78lb scrawny body
Finally I got the saw out and sawed through ½ of every board, then let DS jump on it to break it. It was hard work! It filled up the entire can, but at least its not in my yard anymore.
I am struggling to get all my fiber in (25+ grams) since I dont have those fiber cakes! I dont know why I bother anyway, its not like it helps me. Ive always had trouble moving things along and no amount of fiber or water seems to make a difference
Only 1 week until we leave for vacation. Itll be nice and hopefully I will behave with my eating and be able to fit into all my clothes when I get back. Totals yesterday were 1266 cal, 29g fat, 149g carbs, 108g protein, 26g fiber. I drank 100oz of water, 2 cups tea, a Minute Maid Light and a DC:

Jane, I don't know what my neighbor was thinking. When it is 108 degrees, the last thing I want to do is bake something! DS ate 1.5 cookies for dessert, but DD didn't finish her dinner, so there are still 1.5 cookies left. She better eat them today! I go back to the dentist tomorrow. I am taking another Xanax. It helped because last time I had to get a filling I was drenched in sweat and this time I wasn't!
Marie, soon you will be in the 140's, have faith!
Anna, trust me, I am no help around 5pm because that is when I start falling apart! I still can't chew anything harder than cottage cheese or cantaloupe. IT STINKS!!!! Hopefully when I mention it tomorrow the dentist will know exactly what it is and how to fix it. Of course not being able to chew on one side has not affected my ability to eat...
When DH is gone for more than a month he gets to fly back for a weekend every 3 weeks. But it is still tough! He hasn't had a trip like that for 3 years (knock on wood).
