It's a long weekend for hubby and the kids, but not for me! Typical Monday for me. Back to work, after goofing off way too much this weekend. Hey, I gotta do something to keep me busy while I wait for my goodies from Prima! So I'm working on a yummy kit that is shaping up to be my favorite yet! I'll try to remember to post a sneak peek soon.

So, I've lost 3 pounds this week! Not much, but a good start. My big downfall while dieting is sugar. I love sweets! I came up with this protein smoothie when I was trying to avoid the box of ice cream staring me in the face. It's super simple, and way yummy!



3/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 cup frozen fruit
Splenda, to taste
1/4-1/2 cup water

Just blend everything in a blender. I know it sounds gross, but it is sooo good! The cottage cheese adds protein, and makes it rich and creamy. I add a few tablespoons of Splenda to sweeten it, and just enough water so that everything mixes up. And it's much better in a pretty glass ;)

The weekend was pretty good. My parents came up to visit, just for fun. We did a little shopping, and I played Guitar Hero with my dad (hubby won't play with me anymore. he can't stand it that i'm better than he is!). I caught Jessie having a snack:





We bought Helen this new jacket, and she loves it so much that I think she slept in it! Hubby says she looks like a model in this photo. Well, of course she does! All our children are beautiful :)

Here's to diligence and progress, with a healthy dose of relaxation! Cheers!
