A much needed visit

Looks like my post from Friday went missing!  I don't know what happened!  Well the gist of friday, I had a great day eating, started a challenge to do some core work, did a 30 second plank!  And I found hubby's wedding ring!  We nearly threw it out with the trash!  Thank God I brought the garbage back from the curb or else we'd have lost it forever!  It was in the 3rd bag I'd examined meticulously!

Last night we went to my best friends place for dinner.  Mandy and I have been friends since early high school and did everything together for years until kids and careers got in the way.  Now we don't see each other often, but when we do, it's as if we'd never been apart and we crave more!

She was my maid of honour :) 

We are each others child's God parents and the kids got along so well!  My God-daughter Maddy asked if she could keep Lara!  We are looking forward to spending more time together, pretty soon I'll be husband free some nights and will crave adult conversation and will probably be getting together with Mandy and her kids more often!

They were destined to be friends from the start!  Only 3 weeks apart, My Lara is the teeny one on the right.

One thing about Mandy, I learned to drink with her and the urge to let the taps flow was strong in me last night!  I can see how I'll be maintaining once I hit goal, lol!  I had one drink and that was it, though Tom was certainly indulging!

She's one of the best people to party with!

We had Spaghetti with meat sauce and I (was supposed to bring salad but forgot it at home) brought home made crepes with light cool whip, bananas and chocolate sauce.  Wouldn't have been too bad on points, but I had two of them :P

I used a bunch of weekly points, but I'd saved them knowing I'd be using a bunch last night.  (Smart huh? :P)

Yesterday morning I continued with my activity challenge and did another 30 second plank!  I shake like crazy, but I can do it!  Elbows and toes, not even on my knees!  Yay me!

    1. It's a kind of chip/veggie dip. In the dairy aisle. It's sour cream based and really low on points, the french onion is so good! It's widely available in Canada and the U.S. I swear it's my weight loss secret! I use it on potatoes instead of butter and sour cream, and as a dip for veggies. 1 point is for 3/4 serving, or 3/4 of an ounce, but you get 1.5 ounces for 2 points :)

  2. Hi :)

    I'm impressed you actually find the ring in the garbage. Normally when stuff like that happens you never see the ring again. Congrats :P

    While reading your post I kept thinking about planking until I went ahead and tried it. Holly molly that's hard!!

    Have a good one!

    EMILIO!

    1. Thanks!

      Yup they're hard! I shake uncontrollably while I'm doing it! And 30 seconds is enough to make my muscles sore the next day!

  3. I am SO glad you found your husbands ring! That's great news!
    I have a best friend that I don't see very often and when we get together it's just like you said, like we've never been apart. That's a true friendship. ♥
