Shelley: Day 42

I would feel bad for missing a few days of posting but I'll be honest, I have been so busy with Mr. Will's First Birthday Bash I haven't had a spare second. It went off without a hitch and it was a really great group of people. I'm SOOOOOO GLAD Dan and Katie were able to come early to help. I COULD NOT have gotten everything done without them especially because I needed someone tall (thanks Dan;)) and Katie was super on top of everything I'd assigned her (which was A LOT). Also a big thanks to my Aunt Cindy for letting us use her house, for her help keeping things going, and the clean up!

I should have avoided the homemade ice cream but I couldn't. It's been forever and I am a Hansen by blood after all (we are 90% ice cream and 10%cake). But since I didn't really eat during the rest of the day I don't feel too bad.

Today was AWESOME! I was super bushed after yesterday's party and not feeling so good this morning. Fortunately, Will decided he wanted to sleep in too until 10am so Jason got the morning off and I didn't have to get up early either. I still wasn't feeling great so Jason took Will to church and I took it easy. I did manage to get my chocolate covered fruit and cupcakes out the door with Jason for today's linger longer at church so I was feeling pretty good I got so much accomplished this weekend.

Today has been a bread day. I don't know if I'm the only one but about every six months or so I just go on a bread binge. Fortunately, we had the Orowheat Whole Wheat bread around which is 90cal a slice. I did have some I Can't Believe it's Not Butter but I kept it pretty reasonable. Pretty much the only other thing I ate today were a few bites of left over chicken from yesterday (there would have been more but my cousin Doug has sticky fingers and ended up with most of the leftovers), nectarines, and apples. So as things go, it wasn't the most well balanced but I feel satisfied. I haven't done the math yet so we'll see in a second if I should have my head in the sand.

BMR CALC: 1691-1670=21 Deficit

(For an explanation please see Shelley: Day 1 Post) Also, I updated my BMR from 1760 to 1691. As I lose weight that number will continue to fall.

CONGRATS Kaisi for breaking through! Katie, way to stay strong and be such a good example! You guys are the best!

Until tomorrow. . .
