Forgive Me

Hi everyone! The plan this past week was to be more active on my blog, not to disappear. The plan was to face the scale on Friday and make the week a great one, track every bite and see results next Friday. Well I did go to Weight Watchers on Friday, I was down .4 But even on Friday I felt my back dragging me down. I woke up on Saturday and it was a little worse. I knew Sunday we had a BBQ to go to and I just rested most of the weekend. We had Sean's cousin over last night for a great dinner, but I just about passed out after. I know what it is....I need that pool!!

Last week I did go check out a pool that is about 12 min from me. WOW! AMAZING! I was ready to jump in but the therapy pool is closed for repairs for another week. This week I will go sign up & start my membership so I am all set to jump on in once it re-opens! I can not tell you how excited I am for this. I NEED that water, my body creaks, aches, & pops when I am without it...making my mind very unhappy. :-/

So an unhappy, uncomfortable TJ hates sitting at the computer typing/blogging/or even emailing when I feel this way. So I apologize for the absence. I am also not the best typer so it takes me twice as long to write a post than most of you! lol :)

Need to thank Danica for bringing lunch over last Friday for our LEFTOVER BUFFET! :) I know you can read all about her post HERE!  Everything was delicious! Oh and did you attend FitBloggin and remember me raving about the salad they served? A few twitter pals sent me the recipe that they picked up at the sessions...since I was clueless that they had handed it out! Well I made it last week and Danica was nice enough to also post the recipe for me. :) CLICK HERE!  to see the yummy Crunchy Greens & Apple Salad recipe! :)

Last nights dinner was a HIT! I saw Marisa had a pizza party out on the grill so I had to join in! :)  I bought dough at Trader Joe's and divided it up into little balls so everyone could make their own pizza creation! I had a whole bunch of toppings & we all had a fun time making pizza!

Here are two of them cooking! My mind was not thinking of taking pics so I barely remembered to snap this one! lol


Thanks Marisa for a great idea for a FUN dinner! :) Go read all about how to grill pizzas over at Marisa's blog post! 


I unplugged almost the entire weekend and I must say it was nice. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! I hope you guys forgive me for posting just links to recipes too! :-/ I am just not feeling like myself these days.

As far as tracking goes, I did well on Friday! lol I slacked off Sat, Sun, & Mon. :-( But ya know what, I think I did well with not over doing it. The best part of WW is being able to get back on track...TODAY! Off to make a yummy breakfast sandwich and write up a little shopping list. I need to shop at home 1st this week. I feel like my freezer & pantry are bursting with stuff so I think I'm going to stand in front of them long enough to see what I can throw together this week! :)

Ever shop at home 1st?  I bet I'm gonna save some $$ this week by doing so! :)

Bye guys! Have a great day! Pin It

  1. I'm glad you were able to unplug for the weekend! I did too on Monday and feel much better. I hope your back is feeling better today. Thank goodness you only have to wait one more week for the pool.

  2. Awwww...sorry to hear that your back is getting you down! :( Hopefully the pool therapy kicks in quickly when you're finally able to get back again. At least there's an end in site! Just one more week.

    I'm in the process of cleaning out my freezer right now. My grocery store list for today is tiny!

  3. I think I could happily move into a pool and live there from May until late September. I love pools! The best!

  4. That crunchy greens and apple salad was awesome! I picked up the little recipe book and I'm looking forward to making it. I think it'll be a hit in our house.

    As for shopping at home, I really need to do that more often. I did a HUGE grocery run this weekend, but I hadn't done one in 3 weeks. Just a few runs to BJ's for meat and milk.

  6. So sorry to hear that your back has been giving you pain and a bit of the blues. Hopefully that therapy pool will do the trick, and in the meantime, take it easy and give yourself a big hug.
