Happy Healthy Monday
Good Monday morning. Whew what a weekend. We got some serious work done at the house. The kitchen is 90% painted. Just have to move the fridge and stove out. The bathroom ceiling is fixed and 50% painted. I boxed some
things up that I don’t use often so it doesn’t look so cluttered. So we are getting there. Still have lots to do in the basement and I need to find homes for my cats yet. Then we need to lay carpet in the living room once they are gone. I hope hubby can do the basement in like 2 weeks so we can put the house up in 3-4 weeks. When it comes time to put it up I will hire a cleaning crew to give it a good once over before showing it. It’s exhausting.
As for weight loss well I gained a pound this week, I am back to just 9lbs lost. I need to bring my lunch. I don’t know why I am stuggling with that. Ugh.
Well I hope you all have a super day. Enjoy the recipe.

those brownies look delish! I will definitely be making those when I’m feeling better. I can understand the stress of moving – it can take a lot out of you. Be sure to get some “YOU” time in as well. it makes all the difference 🙂

I am a pumpkin purist. I know pumpkin and chocolate is a popular combination but I just can’t go there. I mean, what if I really like it. I would be ashamed of myself LOL. Good luck taking lunch to work this week Karla.

Well I gained weight looking at the picture, but after working my way through the recipe I lost it again. I don’t think baking at 2am is a great plan, but neither is my insomnia and desire to see what else you have posted on here. Good luck with the remodel work because that is WORK! I want to Bond with you now Karla! Thanks for fueling my sweet tooth with some good choices.

Hang in there, Karla! The stress of getting the house ready has you distracted so don’t beat yourself up too much. Get through this and you’ll be able to re-focus!
