Zzzzzzz....

I think I slept the entire weekend.  I tried the new meds the doctor gave me for sleeping (amitriptaline) and they knocked me out.  It was nice to be able to sleep through the night, uninterrupted, but it was really hard to wake up and I didn't get up until noon all weekend.  I'm not an early riser anyway, but I usually get up before 10am or so.  I tried cutting the pill in half but the effects were still the same.  I told my husband that maybe I should just lick it instead of swallowing it :)!

Friday evening I took Isabel out to the Chinese restaurant and Walmart so I could get canning supplies.  I started cooking the jam and also did 22 minutes on the elliptical.  The jam tastes really good but it is not as thick as I'm used to.  I think it's because I used natural pectin (apples) instead of SureJel. 

Saturday was a lazy day and I finally finished the season of Grey's Anatomy - it was sooo sad!  On Sunday, Isabel had a soccer picnic and that was nice.  I tempered my eating, like I usually do in public, and had a hamburger, some fruit salad, some chips and a cookie. Even though we ate at 4pm I considered that dinner.  When I got home I fell asleep while reading - that medicine really hit me hard. When I woke up around 8:30p I went to the kitchen and made scones and strawberry upside down cake (TASTY).  My husband walks in and asks where I've been, to which I reply - upstairs in the bedroom, I fell asleep reading.  He wants to know if I've been there the whole evening and I, again, affirm that.  Then he tells me that Isabel told him that I went somewhere with our neighbor and that she tried to call me to see when I was coming home.  I have NO idea where she got that idea. 

So, I can cross "make jam" off the List!

I had a scone this morning for breakfast, along with a bottle of water.  I made egg salad for lunch and am thinking about grilling some shrimp for dinner.  My goal today:  30 minutes of exercise and no eating after 8pm.

PS - my last goal was to make oatmeal smoothies for the week but since I made scones I decided not to do the smoothies.  Too many breakfast options and something will go bad before it is eaten.

PPS - I weighed myself this morning - no change :( 224.4...I need to get serious to see that number change.
