This morning it read 185! 35 more pounds to go! Today was football day that means tailgating and not much exercise, so I'm not looking for a loss tomorrow... Hopefully not a gain... maintain would be SO nice. I was marginally good, BUT I really enjoyed myself!
Today was the first Titan home game. I wish it was a win BUTat least it was very close! First preseason hockey game for the Predators. They beat the Blue Jackets!
SO JAZZED LOVE HOCKEY! LOVE FOOTBALL! GREAT TIME OF THE YEAR!

LETS HEAR IT FOR MY SCALE!
It read 186 this morning! WoO hOo! I'M GETTING SKINNY!!! Well, relatively... I've lost 43 pounds since March! I have 36 more to go to hit my target weight!

No Pudge Fudge is the BOMB!
These are wonderful!!! And even the worst baker in the world really can't mess this up as long as you can measure 2/3 cup of low fat yogurt. you can even make individual servings if you think you'll eat the whole pan.
Here's the web site http://www.nopudge.com I know they are stocked at Kroger and food Lion. Not sugar free but instead of 175 to 250 calories for 2x2 square it's 120.
They even have recipes on the site using their products. Here's a good one!
Frozen Mousse Brownie Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 pkg No Pudge! Fudge Brownie Mix
2 cups cold fat free milk
2 pkgs sugar free instant vanilla pudding (1 ounce each)
3 tbsp vanilla or white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1/2 cup reduced fat whipped topping
1. Line the bottom and sides of two 9 x 13 x 2 baking pans with parchment paper. Coat the paper with non stick spray
2. Prepare the brownies according to package directions. Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
4. In a bowl whisk together milk and pudding mixes for two minutes. Stir a small amount of the pudding into the melted chips, then return all to the pudding. Fold in whip topping.
5. Cover 2 large cutting boards with plastic wrap (don't use wax paper - I learned the hard way) Invert one pan of brownies onto each prepared board. Gently peel off parchment. Spread mousse to within 1/2 inch of edges of the first brownie. Carefully invert second brownie layer on top of mousse.
6. Cover and freeze for about 4 hours or until filling is firm. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before cutting into sandwiches. Individually wrap left over sandwiches and store in freezer.
No Pudge! Note: For a thicker brownie use 1 box of mix and two 8 x 8 baking pans. For a tasty option we tried softening fat-free frozen yogurt. Remove from the freezer and let soften. Spread on the prepared brownie, freeze and enjoy. Delicious AND Fat Free!
Yield: 15 servings
So nice to find a lower calorie food that is SO GOOD!

Tuesday
Well, here are some up dates!
The scale read 188! Finally! Come on 187!
Courtney is done with frog Richard, and on to Sir Jessie... she went to church with him Sunday.
We have RAIN! Lots of RAIN! Not complaining mind you, we really need it. The water bill will go down with no watering the lawn! Always a silver lining! I hope it is done by the weekend because we have the MTSU game and The Titans game Saturday and Sunday. Not partial to sitting out in the rain watching football...kind of a fair weather fan...ROFL! Though I did buy two new pouchos at Walgreen's on sale.
The house is still CLEAN! Back to organizing an area in the house I think the linen closet in the hall is the lucky area of the day!
Hope you are having a great day! thanks for reading!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
WE WERE! GO TITANS!
I'm happy to say the football party was a HUGE success! I made just the right amount of food with all the wonderful things other people brought. The mudslides were a hit! I drank two and my head was spinning. Made them a tad STRONG... Everybody's head were spinning! We had just the right amount of people come, about 30 maybe 35. I had a GREAT time! Jim did too. So it made cleaning the house worth while.
The kids had a BIG time swimming. We had a bit of rain, but it cleared off and was beautiful out. The TV was under Tim's easy up any way so it didn't matter.
The Titans won! After the game was over most people stayed to watch the next games and high lights... It wound to a close about 7:00 PM. Not much of a mess to clean up either.
Lots of laughs and plans made for The MTSU game Saturday and the Titans game Sunday.
Tailgating is going to be murder on my sensible eating... I over ate and drank yesterday. Today I'm a puff ball. I did make healthy stuff for the most part. I ate more cheese than I have in months. Mudslides alcohol and sugar buzz! Just one is 400 calories easy... Mic Ultras for me next weekend ONLY!
Katie has a dentist appointment today for her cleaning. I've got to get Courtney in for an eye appointment. She needs more contacts. Guess we'll be making the doctor rounds...
Jim is some where in Texas till Thursday. I think San Antonio.... He's there for a show.
I have the personal trainer tonight hopefully I'll work off some of those mudslides....

Stuff.....
I didn't get on the scale this morning. Right before that time.... I don't need to get depressed.I went a total body work out class and did 20 minutes on the arc trainer this morning, and I'm eating healthy. So After Auntie Flow leaves I get back on the scale and hopefully it will be nice to me! Come on 188!!! SLOW going.... oh well....I'm working out tonight too with Jim. The more cardio the burnt fat right?!
We shopped till we dropped this weekend. I found boots that fit my calves!!!! 9 West stretch! I've been looking for 3 years!!! I was such a happy camper! I must have tried on 20 pair of boots while shopping. The Lane Bryant were too big around the calf, the Bass zipped but were so tight, most would even zip 2 to 3 inched from the top.... just call me Goldie Boots! LOL! Any way made me feel GREAT! Weird how a pair of boots makes a girl feel better!
We got to meet Richard, Courtney's new bow. He seems very nice and very hooked on Courtney. Walked over here twice and came around in the evening. He works at McDonald's. Pays for his own car. Seems responsible....we'll see won't we.
Miss Katie-boo ( she hates that) made out BIG time shopping and did a bunch of self portraits. I just have to post them!!! they are really very good!

September!
Wow! I can't believe it is September! AMAZING!!
Last night was the first Oakland Patriots home football game. They played Cannon county, and WON! Courtney had to be there for ROTC. They had an over night and a bonfire. I haven't got all the details yet from Courtney on how that went. she did come up to Jim and I excitedly during the football game and announced she has a new boyfriend, Richard. Hope he isn't a Dick... (aren't I witty???) Guess we will find out more about Sir Richard later... (they are all sir till they become frogs again...)
After my half hour of chaperoning jimm and I went to IHOP. I was supposed to do the over night but weasled out of it. To be fair at the time I signed up I didn't know it was an over night. IHOP was not exactly diet/healthy food but it was GOOD! How bad are multi grain pancakes and a omelete? the scale was effected this morning so OK...maybe??? I like deluding myself....
Today is about running all over doing errands. So far we've got our work out in, a car washed, toes pedicured, groceries shopped and now hair is beoing cut. all by 11AM. I'd say we were doing pretty well... so much more to go but it is a three day weekend!
Now I'm off to pump my daughter about the over night and Sir Richard....
