The weekend flew by of course. I can't even remember what we did, it went so fast. Monday and Tuesday were "bummer" days for me. I spent those days in and out of 4 different doctors' offices! My thyroid levels are all out of whack, but since January when I was there last, I have lost officially 25 pounds. I am hoping tomorrow when I step on the scales it shows that too. Scales are very different from place to place. But I can say, since I weighed on the same doctor's scales in January that I did on Tuesday.....my loss is officially 25 pounds! Yay! Go Me!!
Wednesday, I worked on putting together some LITE recipes for my Weight Watcher's personal cookbook. I will be pulling recipes from it to share with you! I am so excited to share all my found treasures! These recipes help to keep my life normal on this weight loss journey. I can not, absolutely, can not do away with preparing and enjoying dinner with my family so these recipes are a crucial component to my weight loss journey! I can't wait to share either!
Today, I went to my parent's house. They had my niece Layla, so I took a few pictures of Emma and Layla for Easter. They turned out super cute! I am posting my favorites below!
