Okay, so I’m trying to eat enough protein lately (to keep up with Joey44)  so I was boiling some eggs the other night to have for the next day.  I put them on and set the timer on my oven.  I decided to go ahead and take a bath while I waited.  In the meantime, my husbands notices the timer on and turns it off (the cooktop is separate from the oven and he thought it somehow got left on for no reason)  About an hour later, I’m already in bed and hear some popping noises (sounds like someone hitting the window) So, I try to get my hubby to go check.  He, of course, says Oh, its nothing just the kids in the kitchen.  So, I wait a little while and hear it again.  I decide to go check myself … then, he gets up cause he can’t let me go alone lol Yeah, you guessed it… eggs all over the kitchen!  Have you ever smelled burnt eggs?  Took me 30 min to clean it all up and the whole house smelled like burnt eggs the next morning!  ugh!!!  It’s really hard to eat them after that smell!!   Guess I am now officially the worst cook ever!!!

Well, my birthday is in 13 more days.  I had hoped to be in better shape than this by then!  I am beginning to see some abs but still not where I want to be   I have made a lot of progress and learned a lot along the way though   Thanks to everybody on this site that kept me motivated and taught me what they knew!!  Guess I’m just gonna have to set a new goal!  Hopefully, the results will come a little quicker since I know a little bit more about weights and nutrition!

We celebrated my daughter-in-laws birthday this weekend and I ate enough birthday cake for like 6 people..you would think I’d never had cake before!!  Not good for my Ab Quest!!  On the upside, I did workout extra hard   Still keeping up with the ab exercises regularly!  I hate that guilty feeling you get when you enjoy some birthday cake though!  I have all the time in the world … one day of cake shouldn’t make me feel sooooo guilty in the big scheme of things!  I feel better now… thanks for listening

Abs are feeling a lot stronger now.  Still not doing great with the diet though so it seems as if I’m just maintaining.  Hopefully, once I get the diet under better control, I will see more results.  In the meantime, this is the longest I’ve kept up with ab exercises! Yea me!!!  lol
