Sorry i have been M.I.A. but you know how it is, with young kids, they keep you on your toes.. Well first off 4th of July is almost here so, in order to enjoy myself, i need to stay on point this next weeks. And it seems so hard now that the kids are home for vacation. One thing I am trying to do is keep busy.. and move. I wish I could take the kids Walking for hours but i live in the California desert, and that could be dangerous.. well wish me luck.. i will be back later to post some recipes..

             Tuesday is my nickname Heather is my legal name, but I do not like to be called that...

           Today I have been doing good, I didn't get my work out in but i kept myself busy, so i did not eat out of boredom!   YAY!!!! My Weight Watchers daily allowance is currently 38 points. i have only used up 8 and i am halfway through the day. However my stomach is growling so i guess i am going to eat some progesso soup and cucumbers with lemon and tajin salt.. by the way progresso light soup is only 2 points a serving, throw in some saltine crackers a whole lunch is 4 points ( you do not count the cucumber)

          This is just the way i feel sometimes.. Especially when your children are eating mac and cheese with corndogs

Hello my name is Tuesday!

        First let me start off by introducing myself, my name is Tuesday. I am a single mother of 4 children ages !5, 14, 8, and 2. I have been struggling with my weight my whole life. It is fair to say I have never been skinny. I am 5'11 and have weighed between 200 lbs all the way to 306lbs through out my adult life. When i began this weight loss journey back in November of 2013, I was 283, as of my last weigh in I am currently at 243. I have been doing the weight watchers diet, and some exercising. I am not perfect. I have my days where i slack off and go over my points but I refuse to give up! I find it especially hard to stick to my diet when my kids are still eating the high carb junk we all love so much... That is why I am starting this blog to give myself some accountability, and to invite anyone who would like to join me in my journey. Feel free to posts recipes, tips ideas or just vent out your struggles. we all have to start somewhere... 

P.S. this is my first blog.. forgive me if i am not that good
