POM FREEBIES! - this week will be a challenge!

Thank you to the wonderful people at POM for sending me a case of pomegranate juice to try. I love pomegranate juice and when I do buy it, POM is the only brand I buy. It is 100% juice and if you need to know more about all of the great health benefits that a glass of juice can give ya, check out their website -POM WONDERFUL- which has a great recipe section too! I saw a smoothie recipe that I know I will be making soon! YUM! When I drink POM I like to add it to some bubbly water with a squeeze of lemon or lime- or even add it to some diet 7-up. This is a refreshing drink on a HOT day! :) Thanks again POM peeps!

This coming week will be a busy one for me. We pick up my Aunt who is flying in from NY tomorrow. I am very excited! When I talked to her yesterday she asked if she will recognize me at the airport. lol Its been a while since I've seen her- 57 pounds ago! YIKES! I actually like when I see someone that I haven't seen in a while. I like their reaction- I think I NEED their reaction. lol I know that my tags on my shorts and tops these days are smaller but mentally I am behind schedule on the weight loss. It is always nice to get cheered on by my family and I am looking forward to my Aunt's visit. :)

What I am NOT looking forward to this week are temptations that come with being away from my "safe kitchen" lol I know where we are eating Sunday for dinner, know that my Mom is making dinner on Tuesday that I will be drooling over, I know that Friday will be an evening at my favorite Mexican restaurant (that I have not been to in a LONG time) then on the 4th we are going to BBQ a bunch of things- including some chicken that Im already looking forward to. :) YES, I am planning already for the ENTIRE week. I know that I have to to be successful. Hopefully I will stay on track. I plan on bringing some side dishes on the 4th that my Mom already asked me to make and I will as always pack some snacks up to help me stay away from munching on any tempting stuff that my family has out. In the past I would have looked at this coming week and used it as a bingeing feast. I know I have come a long way from those days, and who cares if I gotta plan a week ahead- I'm going to do what works for me! :)

I plan on taking pictures and popping in here and there to share with you all, but it's going to be a busy week for me! Anyone else have a challenging situation happening too? Can you relate to whats going on in my brain? lol I'm sure I am not alone but when I get together with my family I am the only one watching what I eat, counting my points, and hoping that each Tuesday I see a loss on the scale. :)

Oh! I jumped on the twitter bandwagon...lol I joined yesterday and had 4 people that I didn't know (and didn't want to know) start to follow me! YIKES! So I had to switch to private and you have to ask to follow me- but if you care to know what I am up to please feel free to FOLLOW me! :) tjbooboo
