***This was a rare treat.  My husband is a finance manager at a car dealership.  With that said, he gets limited time off.  Being that the end of the month and a holiday are approaching, he will be working everyday from today through July 4th.  So, since it was Father's Day, and we were enjoying some down time, the boys wanted to go get some frozen yogurt.  This is not something we enjoy very often at all...even though there's a fro-yo shop five minutes from our home...LOL!  I wanted to pass and stay home, but my husband and boys asked me to go.  So, I obliged, and I did enjoy the treat.  I was also pleased with the scale results the next morning...I was down a whole pound...granted, it's not an endorsement to eat off plan, but sometimes, that extra junk can kick your weight loss back into order.  As my husband explained, my muscles may have needed the extra glycogen...whatever all that means.***

This week, I really tried to focus on having more protein in my afternoon snack.  I did this by enjoying a shake.  Protein shakes are not my favorite, but if I can add in yogurt, then it's easier to consume.  Adding in cream cheese makes it even better, too.  I also tried to not have very man snacks/desserts after 8pm.  I'm hoping maybe this will help with the weight loss as well.  Also, I focused really hard on working out this week.  Each day, I would find something to do...some days it was on You Tube and others it was an arm workout program with hand weights.  I also did abs each day.  I'm really hoping that doing this will help on the scale, but also help with toning up the loose skin.
