Lots to do today so just a quick post here this morning. My week of vacation is flying by and I haven't accomplished anywhere near what I wanted to get done this week. Gotta get my tail in gear!!
Hubby and I went up to Niagara Falls, Canada yesterday on a day trip to celebrate our 18th anniversary (which is this coming Sunday Oct 16th). It was rainy & cool & we cut our trip short (only spent 4.5 hrs there) because it really started raining. We played a bit at the casinos & donated about $80. arrgh! I really don't enjoy gambling because I cant get over the thought that I could use the money toward groceries or something like that but oh well, it was fun playing video blackjack & we know when to say when & leave. WE got home about 4:30, picked up the girls & took them to Olive Garden for dinner. My oldest had a really hard time with the menu as she is super picky. My youngest was in her glory with all the menu choices. They are like day & night in so many ways. Anyways, I had soup & salad & it was delish! I had the zuppa tuscono (1 cup) and they brought me the lower calorie salad dressing on my salad & 1 1/2 breadsticks(I love to dip it in my soup!) . I couldn't finish it all and I stayed within my points allowance for the day which was great. The scale is looking good this week so fingers crossed, it will keep on going down. I have been exercising daily (except for yest but we walked alot) & I think that really does make a difference. I want to go to jazzercise but I am a bit intimidated by it all & Im afraid I wont be coordinated enough to do the moves. I never took a dance class before in my life & it looks very "dancy" to me. I will wait for my sister to go with me to the trail class. Until then, looks like its gonna be walking & my exercise tapes for the rest of the week.
Here are a few pics from our trip to the Falls.
I have noticed my face & upper body are really getting alot thinner. Have a great rest of the week &" keep on keepin on" girls! We are getting there!
P.s on a side note~ I want to order some of the Natures Hollow sugar free jams but not sure what flavors are the best. If you use them, would you please chime in & tell me what flavors are your favorite?? Thanks! We cant buy them in the stores up here in PA so I have to order them online. I trust all of my "buds" taste buds! :)

Your face is looking skinnier! wahoo! So far I've only tried strawberry and mountain berry, but they are both really good. I'm guessing that they are all tasty. I might like the berry one a tad better, because it has real whole mountain blueberries in it - pretty awesome to open up a sugar free jam and find real fruit inside. :)
ReplyDeleteHI Sherri, Love the pics, and you look great!! About the Natures hollow, I love raspberry, peach, but they are all very good.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :-)
Sherri, I love your pictures!! We made a little trip up there a couple years ago and had such a nice time. The Falls are really something! I'm also intimidated with dance/exercise classes. I'll be curious to see what you think.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty and thin in your pictures. I hope you have a wonderful anniversary. I love the raspberry one the best, then the mountain berry would be my 2nd choice. I understand the fear of taking the class when you dont have any rhythm that is one reason I have not tried Zumba yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherri..Thank you for leaving your wonderful comment on my site a while back ago..I was MIA from blogging..so I apologize for the delay. And BTW I like the peach nature hollows..but its because Im not a berry girl.
ReplyDeleteI love your pics, it looks like you guys had a nice time...Happy Anniversary! I've only had the raspberry natures hollow it was good and I would buy it again.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pics. You look great! Good job sticking with your points. Keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherri. Just catching up on all the blogs. You look great and I hope you had a wonderful time at the falls. I love the natures hollow and I love the mountain berry, although I just ordered the apricot and blueberry. I like their sugar free ketchup too. I order from this site called netrition.com. They ship everything for one low price of $4.99. I also got these Mama Lupe tortillas, and they have lots of great stuff. The natures hollow is a little cheaper than the natures hollow web site. I bought the flat out wraps and they were way cheaper than in my supermarket. The order comes really fast too. Check it out. Hugs to you. I missed my blogging buddies while I was away!
