Today is starting out as a mixed bag. The good news is that my blood sugars were 139 this morning. Its a LITTLE high but its massively better than it has been in AGES. Even if I’m not seeing the weight loss I’d like WW is having a positive effect on my health! Whoo Hoo!!!
Food today, is a challenge. Last night I was having a LOT of pain so I didn’t fix my food for the day today. I thought I’d just do it this morning. Well… THAT didn’t happen. I was having some issues this morning and ran out of time. Here is my food for the day:
Breakfast:
Whataburger’s Breakfast On A Bun: 15 pts
Lunch:
Whataburger Garden Salad w/ Cheese and Low fat Ranch Dressing: 11 pts
(We interrupt this post to bring you a mini rant: LOW FAT RANCH DRESSING with 22g of fat?? WTF???? I almost had a stroke when I read that. I actually asked for FAT FREE but the brain trust working the window… well… like they said in Lethal Weapon “They F**k you at the drive through!” Meh)
Snack when I get home:
1 Apple (1 pt)
Dinner:
I have no clue. I need something that will suck up the better part of 17 points. This is my thought:
2 Potato, Chive and Cheese encrusted Talipia Fillet: 14 pts
1 Cup Asparagus
1 Cup Corn : 2 pts
1 Philly Swirl Pop: 1 pt
That would be all my points for today. Lets see how it works out now. Heh.

Hey everyone! Today I launch my Project Hope. I put forth a challenge to everyone to find a way to make the world better. Some small thing you can do to improve the world for ourselves and our kids.
I know I was supposed to announce this yesterday but some things happened and I was unable to post. My Project Hope is going to consist of the following:
Every 6 months I am going to find books we’ve read. Clothes we no longer wear. Toys that are no longer played with and donate them to a local battered wives/children safe house.
Also:
Every Weds here on Mean Girls Need Not Apply I am going to post about something I found that makes me hopeful or something that is trying to make the world a better place. Organizations, other projects, acts of heroism, whatever I can find to help place the emphasis on Hope and on Looking Forward to a better future. If you want to nominate an organization to be highlighted or a person who’s efforts you want to crow about just send me an email to tessalemmons@gmail.com and let me know about it!
The first Project Hope post will be next Weds. Keep an eye out!

Well, I’ve already fallen down on the job of posting my food daily. Yesterday was NOT a good day. We had a car accident during morning rush hour. ::shakes fist at 18-wheeler driver and pickup truck driver who were involved and didn’t stop:: Everyone is fine but it caused a lot of chaos for the day. I ended up not eating until lunch. We went to Taco Bell on the way home from getting new tires etc. I, of course, didn’t have my books with me and had no idea what was worth how many points. I ended up eating a Zesty Nacho and a Crunch Wrap. Dinner was better. I fixed venison and pork sausage in garlic tomato sauce with onions and rice. No veggies though. I also baked cookies for the Shecky. I found myself picking at the dough though. Bad day. I did, however, make some awesome tuna salad.

Breakfast:
1 Can Light Vienna Sausages (6 pts)
Baby Carrots (0 pts)
1 Tbsp SW Ranch Dressing (2 pts)
(8 pts total)
