D D oopsie... Thought I had posted this

Forgot to mention I lost another pound and some ounces at weigh in Wednesday.
While it's not as big a loss as the week before it's still a LOSS!
Warning! Stay away from Tirimisu.   I shit you not!
I'm back on track so far this week.....So far so good. :0)
Ate Wheaties this morning with some Simply Smart milk product. Wheaties,1 1/2 cups equal 6 Points, 1 cup Simply Smart is 1 Point and I added sliced strawberries 0 Points. Total 7 Points.
Noon I made 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Used 4 slices of Weight Watcher's wheat bread, 2 Points each.
Non fat cheese 1 Point each.  Sliced tomatoes 0 Points. 1 Tablespoon salt free butter 3 Points.  Total 13 Points. I erred. Thought the bread was 1 Point each or I would have had JUST ONE sandwich.
In between breakfast and lunch I ate a 0 Point orange. 
Have 10 Points left for supper and I can borrow a few from the 47 Points extra a week you are allowed IF NEEDED.
ALWAYS eat your daily 29 Points or you won't lose weight.
You need fuel to burn the weight says my DIL Deb. 
To date ( well Wednesday evening )...I have lost 15 lbs and 6 ounces.  Hip Hip Hooray!
I have to learn the HARD WAY.  Could have lost even more.  I'm learning :0)

Hubby's brother Frank, our SIL Marion and their grown son Bryan ( our Godson) will be driving down from Leesburg tomorrow to visit us. :0)
They live about an hour and ten minutes away inland above Orlando.
It's been a few years since we have seen them too. Two years ago my son drove us up there to visit with them and took them out to lunch.
Hubby's brother has had two back surgeries and has been in some terrible pain for years even with a variety of pain med's and patches and the likes.
Just the other day he had his first of three spine injections and is feeling only slight pain and feels able to ride that distance. Their son will do the driving. :0)

OT was here this morning. We still have a problem with hubby being able to take his own shower so I ordered ONLINE a rolling shower chair . It's on wheels that lock and is aluminum.
Medicare will not pay for it. Presently if you are bedridden they will pay for a chair like this that also serves as a porta potty and it is ordered as a bedside porta potty. 
Hubby isn't bedridden. Thank goodness....I'll pay the $169. No shipping charge. The company is in Boston and we should have it here by Wednesday. Thursday at the latest.
Meantime I will help him into the walk in shower. We tried the tub in the other bathroom yesterday. What a fiasco. He laid the shower head thingie down and water was all over the floor in there.,
After I sopped it up with towels, I had a load of wash and did the water laden shower mat/rug at the same time.  I was pooped!  I shit you not !

Just helped him shower....I feel like the Last Rose of Summer as the expression goes.
Hair frizzed, sweaty wilted feeling.  Wore out ...pooped.
He says to me, " we can just do this everyday while we are here and not buy thast rolling shower chair.
NO WAY!   Told him "TOO LATE"  It's a done deal!
Some vacation for me......just to save a few bucks so he can take it with him when he dies is my guess.

Today is my DIL Deb's 50th Birthday. Just another day to her she said when I wished her Happy Birthday this morning.
Beats not having one I replied back. ;0)


That's All Folks!
