Looks like the same ol' post, but it's not!

So, I didn't post at all last week, but here I am back with another menu plan Monday!


Monday: Filet Mignon with salad
Tuesday: Soup & Sandwiches
Wednesday: Chili Macaroni
Thursday: Roasted chicken with stuffing
Friday: Something new we haven't tried yet...don't know what it will be as of today

So, I have continued to lose weight. I am down 12. 4 pounds. I am hoping to be down 30 by my birthday in July. I think I can do it. I just need to stop eating the Girl Scout cookies I bought from Kaitlyn, Shannon's daughter. Hmm, that gives me 3 months. It's taken me 2 just to lose the 12. 4. I should step it up a bit and actually start exercising at the same time to see results.

Lucy is getting bigger and bigger every day. She isn't getting the whole going to the bathroom outside, but I was told that it could take up to 6 months for smaller dogs. I am starting to clicker train her so we should hopefully see results in other things too. I've been trying to walk her everyday to tire her out for the evening. So far it is working. Today we made it to 30 minutes with her. I think that just about did her in. We probably won't be able to walk for an hour for another few months.

I was supposed to have a biology test last week on Tuesday, but when I went to take it it still wasn't available at the testing center. So, she said it will be ready to take on Friday. I get there and it STILL isn't ready! Talk about upset..ok, more like fuming! I was so ready to just be done with the test and move on to the new information that we have learned. I called the testing center today and they have it so I will take it tomorrow before class. I should get an A since I have had an extra week to study, but I am not getting my hopes up. I ended up getting a 74 on the last one! I was so disappointed to get a friggin' C! However, there were a few problems with some of the questions that people argued and I ended up with an 84! So, my average for the class is still an A so far! I am writing a paper to make up for some lower grade though. I really need to start it as it is due on April 16th. I decided to write about Periodontal Disease being linked to Heart Disease. I have NO idea how to even start it, but I will figure that part out.

Do any of you readers have a Mac? Michael is thinking that is going to be my next computer. We just can't decide if it will be an iMac, iBook or Mac Pro. Michael normally builds our computers and really wants me to learn Linux since he hates windows and Macs are pretty similar to Linux. The cost of the Mac hardware is outrageous so he is sort of having a hard time justifying a Mac. I guess I will wait and see.

Well, off to do some MORE studying for the test tomorrow.

I almost forgot! I have finally finished some books for the year. I normally would have had about 15 books read by now, but I have only read two. Here is my booklist:

3rd Degree by James Patterson
These is My Words by Nancy Turner (this one has taken me FOREVER to finish)

Good luck on your test!! I know you will do well!
As far as the computer, my FIL has a mac and loves it. I don't have one so I don't know much about them, but if Michael does get one you'll have to let me know if you like it.

Way to go on the weight loss. I have lost over 20 lbs since August.

I like your menu idea also.
