HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! Let us all remember all those who fought for us and lost their lives!!!!

The weather was nice all day up until this afternoon when some clouds rolled in and then so did the rain! I can still hear the rain outside. Looks like the BBQ’s and boaters are gonna get wet! Speaking of Memorial Day, Jon and Kate plus 8 have a new season starting tonight! I really love that show even though Kate can be a bit crazy sometimes but can you blame her with 8 kids?! I’ll have to dig around online and see If I can find the episode hopefully tomorrow or in a few days since we don’t have cable!

So after my weigh-in this weekend I was happy to get back on the treadmill today and boy! What a workout! I only did 60 minutes but I’m doing a harder workout so we’ll see how this all adds up for this week. I’m now keeping track of just about EVERYTHING I eat with SparkPeople.com! My MIL told me about the site and so I checked it out and it’s GREAT! You can log EVERYTHING from your food to your exercise and can communicate with other people who are trying to do the same. I was thinking I needed around 2,000 calories a day but now I don’t think so… before I KNOW I wasn’t getting 2,000, I was getting more around 1,300 a day MAYBE and I’ve done that for the last 4 months! Then last week I was trying for almost 2,000 calories a day and GAINED 3 pounds so that tells me right there that I don’t need that much so I’m trying to go for 1,500-1,600 possibly but again, we’ll see how this week pans out and then If I have to I’ll rework it again!

Last night Brad and I watched Sling Blade online through Netflix and I haven’t seen that movie in years and years! He’s never seen it and he said in the end that It turned out to a way better movie than he thought It was going to be. I love that movie. I think Billy Bob Thorton did a good job portraying Karl and the little boy was just too cute!!!

Well, everyone enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day! I could go for some BBQ food!!! Brad was “supposed” to be off work today but then they changed the holiday rule to having had the job for 10 months instead of 6 months so he had to go in BUT the good thing is, he gets paid time and a half so WOOHOO, more money for his paycheck! Oh now the sun is gonna come out again!
