Weight Watchers

So....this week I started weight watchers.

I know some of you may think Why... you look fine... (yea right!) but the real reason is that I refuse to buy the next size jean up! As it stands now, my pants are so tight if I sneeze the wrong way my button could fly off and kill someone! Cheryl is doing it with me. I hear the groan people, she says she needs to lose like "5 lbs". I want to kick her when she says this.

I am an angry dieter. Ask Bill... I don't like to be hungry. I like food.

I get 22 points a day. With an extra 35 for the week. Cheryl and I talk points. All day, count points, figure points, plan points. People come into our office and wonder what the heck we are talking about.
I am now consumed with points. Some times we tell them where we are with our point count. Sometimes how many points certain things are. 3 jolly ranchers 1 point!

Cheryl is my will power on this diet! She looks at me and says, Candase, you do not need to eat that!

For example, here is the text from my meeting on Tuesday
Me: Ahhh they have koloches. they are totally f-ing up my weight watchers. I am not eating I am not eating.
Cheryl: You are not eating!


I wanted a biscuit and she said, that is too many points! We will have cereal. (4 points)
I wanted baked chicken, mashed potatoes and roll! She said, Candase you brought salad (5 points) for us. (note to self, The salad was not filling!)
I wanted Chinese food today. She didn't even say anything, just gave me the look. Lean Cusine Pizza (7 points)

See she saved me like thousands of calories! I have to lose weight this week! I just have to! Otherwise I am having a burger and fries! (15 points)!

We have 8 followers! and a word about the farm

YEA 8 followers! I am so excited! Thanks for tuning in... Today is going to be short because work is seriously exhausting (not going into it on here !)

Today was Valley's first field trip! I should have gone but work got in the way. No problem she really didn't want me to go anyway. She didn't even ask me to go... Nice right!!

On our way to school she was talking about it and I asked her were she was going, she didn't know. Lunch which "the lunch ladies would put into little bags". Then talk turned to the bus. Now for all of you who have never had a Pre k daughter. The bus was really the big deal. Who cares about the dang farm it was the BUS!

I talked about the bus, getting on the bus etc. She has some bus experience. She has seen her sister get on the bus the first day of Kindergarten. She couldn't wait for the bus. Some would say... obsessed with the bus. Is that weird????

Any way, she was talking about getting on the bus and who she would like to sit with (her preference would be Ryan (Not Diego). She was talking about how big she is and she is almost a big girl. Almost like Vic. Almost like Meagan (20). Then she thinks for a minute... and says... IT is like I am in kindergarten.

She sat in the back with a huge grin for the rest of the car ride.
