So we totally splurged this morning and went to an outrageously priced brunch...But then we got there and it was definitely priced appropriately for all they offered. We went to P.H.A.T Daddy's and YUM! We've been there for dinner before and the dinner is priced about the same as the brunch:) I've never paid that much for a "breakfast" before. But ya know it was fun to splurge!
Of course that was until we were wandering our way home through the back roads and I remembered last night was the first night of 1000mg of metformin...so yep splurging this morning was NOT the smart gastrointestinal idea. LOL We made it home, I thought I was going to die, and went back to bed.
So I enjoyed the brunch but we'd already decided we probably wouldn't be back except for maybe something special. And now I think we might just call one visit good enough:)

Anniversary, Smokey Eyes and Provera
Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy happy anniversary to me:) It's our 3rd:) And we had a wonderful, relaxing, long dinner at Outback. My fantastic MIL watched the princess so we could take our time and actually talk!
On the way we went car shopping...so many balls in the air right now. I'm just not sure if it's the right time to entertain a car payment...but Honda's 0.9% interest is making it awfully tempting. We are prayerfully considering the purchase...
Hmmm, gave smokey eyes round 2 tonight. Not sure I'll entertain a 3rd round. Think I'm just going to call it quits...I apply the shades properly but I just don't like that much makeup on my face...hubby says he could care less about "smokey" eyes, so I think I'm done attempting to have trendy eyeshadowed eyes:) And will stick to my usual...nothing or when I do bother just attempting to highlight the natural looks God gave me:)
Provera....OHHHHH MYYYYYY Goooooooooodnnnnneeeeessssss....I just took the 5th pill so 5 more to go and I'm already a weeping puddle and walking around with bouncing bruises in place of my breasts. It is good to have a regular cycle but waaahhhhwaaaaahhhhwaaaahhh. So far I'm managing to control the short fuse and minimal patience all that lovely progesterone is stirring up inside my body. I've never reacted so strongly to the provera...I really hope being back on the metformin helps regulate my cycle and I don't have to do this monthly...Oh and on the metformin front so far NO gastrointestinal side effects:) Hip hip hooray for not being smelly or tied to the toilet:) Of course I'm on the lowest dose and need to move up to two pills with tomorrow nights dose.
Too much sugar at dinner I'm all bouncy, LOL....hmmmm....I had Alice Springs Chicken with Aussie Cheese Fries and Coke, yes they do serve Coke at a select handful of restaurants here in the MidWest! My GA raised self just can't resist fountain Coke! I think if it were more prevalent it wouldn't be an issue...but it's so rare to find it here I had to indulge:) Hubby had the New York Strip w/garlic mashed potatoes and french green beans. Of course we shared bites and I brought home half of the chicken:) We shared a house salad, the yummy brown bread and then ordered the dessert sampler. We each had a bite of the carrot cake, won't be eating that again, yucky! We had chocolate and raspberry sauce for the cheese cake but probably only ate about 1/4 of it...brought the rest home for the princess...cheesecake is her favorite. She will get it tomorrow:) And of course we ate all but about 2 bites of the 1/2 chocolate thunder from down under that comes on the sampler...it's my favorite! Yes we were right little piggies...oink oink...lol
As to why Outback on our anniversary...we ate there on our honeymoon...during a blizzard in Madison Wisconsin...it was Outback or Wendys. Hubby had never eaten at Outback and we wanted a sit down restaurant, so there you have it...Outback by default is special to us!
Off to Facebook games to relax and then head to bed!

A new high, a new start
So I met with my ob/gyn yesterday for my annual visit. We've been off the pill since May. However, in August things went wonky...period in July just on time then not again til October then not again until January. So she sent me home with provera to get things started. And to help make me more regular, control the PCOS, and make me more fertile I'm back on Metformin. That's the good news and the positive comments.
Then there's the fact that my weight has reached a new all time height. Granted it's only by 1.8lbs, but seriously a new high. So depressing. I can't seem to get back into Thrive! It limits things and I don't do well with that. So here's the plan...
Back to journaling on sparkpeople.com and keeping track of the calories and fat/protein/carb distribution of my foods. As for how I'll be eating...well low calorie of course, I plan to follow Thrives! timing guidelines, and combining all the good things I learned from Thrive! combined with all the good things I've picked up from weight watcher friends. This way I can still have a little chocolate without feeling totally deprived. We'll see how it goes.
I will start wearing a pedometer then working on accomplishing 12,000 steps a day.
I will start playing the Biggest Loser Wii game I bought a year ago.
Those are the starting plans. I weighed in and recorded my weight this morning. I'll get measurements later today. Then every Saturday I'll be weighing in and doing measurements once a month.
Now I'm off to work on laundry and dishes.

Bombshell casual comments
So I don't know if it's because he turned 42 this weekend or what but my hubby says casually like he's commenting on the weather, "I think we should have two babies and wouldn't it be great if we had boys."
*dead silence*
I have my yearly on Friday...told him if his comment has more than pipe dreams he should plan to attend with me...

Taxes...
I've worked on taxes all day...we're stuck at home while princess recovers from Influenza A & B, I fight it off w/help from Tamiflu, and our 2nd car is being obnoxious and not starting...I'm tired, I'm drained, I'm annoyed and in an all around bad mood. I haven't had a moment of quiet all day and am in desperate need of some just quiet time. Life is good overall but doing the taxes is stressful. We have to keep better records! Oh well we start with that this year:)
