Down another couple of pounds.

Well even after my weekend of indulging in food and wine, I still managed to put a few pounds down. I have lost a total of 9.1 lbs. in 5 weeks, which it may not seam like alot to some but for me is fantastic. Not only I'm I loosing the weight but everyone in my house is eating so much healthier, and just the thought of teaching my kids healthy eating habits, is enough encouragement for me.

Check back later I will post new recipes, including a S'mores one

Not loosing much weight

This week I did not loose but 14oz. I wonder why, maybe it was those 4 cups of pure sugar punch I had at the baby shower (Lime sherbet, lime concentrated, sprite & pineapple juice), or maybe the 1/2 bottle of red wine I had at my friends party, Friday night. Or that wonderful Margarita on the Rocks with fufu de platano (mofongo or plantains boil/fried I boiled mine, fresh pork rinds, garlic, onions, limes and pork fat--I used butter---YUMMY, YUMMY) I had in my house, Sunday afternoon. So after all that I should be more than thankful that I still lost almost 1lb. But I'm totally depress and so upset with myself for doing that to my body. This week I will be good and continue eat healthy. Did I tell you my tommy was not feeling too good Sunday night wonder why.

I hope no one calls me for any thing this weekend.
