It has been the most crazy busy week. Unfortunately everyday I have thought it was Thursday but today. I have so much I want to post about but not enough time!!
I am here at work. I won't be home this evening to post. We are heading out to Indy to see my father-in-law.
Update on my diet:
I have been on low carb diet now 12 days. I have not caused bodily harm to hubby yet, though he has tempted me sore, lol.
As of Tuesday, I have lost 13lbs. I am thrilled, but also realize the weight loss will slow down drastically soon. I am still happy with that. I figure if I can keep up 1-2lbs a week until May when the wedding is I will be thrilled to buy a new dress!!
I got to meet two of the sweetest ladies this week.
I do all the office supply purchasing at my work, and there are two ladies I talk with continuously, so we decided to meet and have lunch yesterday since we had never met face to face. We had so much fun!! I was so glad we met up. I am sure we will be doing it again soon.
I haven't had the opportunity to read up with everything going on with everyone else.
Ok, well I need to get back at it for now.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
I gotta get caught up with you all!!!

I Need Help!!!
So here is the skinny.
My cholesterol is OUT OF SITE, let's just say it's over 400.
My triglycerides well, they are even WORSE are over 840.
Needless to say, Doc suggested I go on a low-carb diet.
So here I am, at 32
Freaking out over dying, lol.
Not really worrying over dying. It's just that well,
My Dad had his first quadruple bypass when he was 39. He had a heart attack and died at the age of 44.
So I have realized that no matter if I get these numbers down, that I will be battling with this the rest of my life.
I have it on both sides of the family too.
My Papaw died at a very young age of a heart attack.
My Nannie has all kinds of heart problems and has had surgery as well.
Of course I wouldn't have inherited any good lucks, boobs, or petitness that I could have enjoyed!! C'est la vie.
Anyways, so now I am on low-carb diet, 7th day. Yeah!! I am through the first week. I would like to lose 25lbs by May 9th. (which is when the wedding is down south) I would love to lose a total of 60lbs minimum, and if I could find it in me, I would like to lose at a grand total of 85lbs. I would be thrilled with 40 though, lol. I haven't weighed or anything yet. I will keep ya posted.
Please keep me in your prayers that I can keep up.
Any low carb recipes, snacks, etc let me know.
I am dying for something chocolate!!! Why is when you start a diet, it never fails "Mrs. Smith" comes for her monthly visit?
Oh well, I gotta go get ready for Church.
Hope you all are having a great weekend!!

Recipe Tuesday on Wednesday
Ok, ok, with all the hustle and bustle of this week, I completely forgot about the dessert recipe for Tuesday. Who wants to think about dessert anyways, when you are doing a low carb diet? Well this one will be short and sweet.
See that beautiful lushes cake with the ice cream, drizzled with hot fudge and caramel sauce? That is my recipe for today. This cake is to absolutely die for!!!
So here it is:
Get your Hubby/Sweetie/Best Girlie Friend and head on down to the nearest Cheddar's Restaurant. Ask to sit near the fireplace. Order a big cup of coffee and a the Chocolate Fudge Cake for $3.99. Yup, you heard me correct this piece of cake is $3.99 and I do have to say, I think it is the best chocolate cake I have ever ate.
This cake could feed up to 4, since it covers a whole dinner plate. (I do not exaggerate when it comes to cake people, especially chocolate) Hubby and I usually can eat it by our self, if we box up half of our meal. Now when "Mrs. Smith" comes to visit, I have this nice piece of cake after I have an order of their onion rings, yummy!!
Locate your nearest Cheddars at www.cheddars.com
Ok, that's it tonight. Hubby got home early. Gonna go snuggle on the couch with him. Tomorrow we talk about diets, lol.

How was every ones Valentines Weekend???
We had a great time here!!
B & I had a great girls night with the spa thing.
We were all relaxed and pretty for when the guys took us out Saturday.
We went to Shelbyville to Claudia Sanders.
If you are even in that neck of the woods, you should try it out.
Hubby's gone on business in Atlanta.
Corporate is here this week, which means stress for me.
I haven't eat, can barely sleep, yet I am so tired.
I'm still steaming over the 20/20 episode B and I watched Friday night.
It was talking about people from the mountains of Eastern KY.
There is not a soap box big enough for me to stand on for what I have to say about that.
When they do these shows, I think they go looking for the worst people available.
If they weren't missing all their teeth, on drugs, drawing a check, or a few other things, they weren't on there. They didn't focus on the 18yr old who started in the coal mines at $60,000 s year. They would rather focus on people who have no teeth because of "Mt Dew Mouth" caused by the inability to afford milk, so just give your babies Mt Dew. Not everyone here is looking for a hand out. ****sighs****
The media needs to be shut down. They always tell what they want of a story, not the WHOLE STORY. Please don't get me wrong, we do have people who are having a hard time surviving, who have bad health, using drugs, among other things, but is there a state that isn't???
Sorry, I could go on and on. I was just surprised with someone being from KY their self, I wouldn't have ran everyone else down.
Tell me what you think. I also want to know what everyone did for V-Day.

Yesterday must have been the weather. Even though I was awake almost all of last night listening to the wind howling. Today I awoke much chipper. It's beautiful and sunny out.
I am excited about tomorrow night. My best girlfriend and I are doing the home spa thing with no hubbies around. We are prepping and primping for our big Valentine Dates.
Also I get the movie Nights of Rodanthe will be on my doorstep when I get home, YEAH!!! I guess it will be me and some kind of carb-less treat since the Doc called yesterday and said my cholesterol was up, and my triglycerides are over 840. You can't win them all.
With that, I will probably not being blogging until Sunday. Do any of you have something special going on for Valentines??
Have a great Valentines with your Sweetie!!!
