Just realized it was Tuesday and thought I would check in. I'm doing okay on my weight loss adventure. I was down to 159 before the weekend but veered off tract over the weekend when my husband & I went out to dinner for date night. Two martinis and some mashed potatoes didn't help my bottom line but they were worth it. The Italian cookies we had for dessert and the one beer I had at my neighbor's that night was not. The pasta I had the next night might have been. I'm not feeling guilty about any of that though as I am really looking at my weight loss as a journey towards more balanced and healthy eating habits so I think I'm okay. The weight will come off more slowly this way but I am ultimately happier. As long as I am heading in the right direction and not feeling completely deprived to do it I think I will be better able to see this through to a healthy weight for me and then remain there.
Feeling a lot of stress this week and I'm not completely sure why. My husband is traveling the entire week and although he travels a lot - every week - he isn't usually gone the entire week like this week. On top of him being gone this week I have a doctor's appt., a meeting at school, a school concert, a visit to the farm, music class, gym class, lunch at school, Suessical the Musical, tennis and a brunch to attend all with the toddler in tow. Add to that the three dogs and worrying about whether my older daughter was going to pass the earring she swallowed on Friday night and I am just feeling kind of frazzled. Oh... and I have PMS so that hasn't improved the situation any. I will be glad when the week is over. Saturday night I have a charity dinner to attend and Sunday we are going bowling with another family. I am not really looking forward to either. The dinner should be fun and we will know a lot of people there but I haven't done really anything for the dinner other than get a silent auction basket and I am on the committee so I feel kind of guilty. I also am very worried about leaving the little one with a babysitter because we have never had anyone else put her to bed before and although she has had lots of babysitters - she has never known it because she has always been in bed by the time we left. The bowling is just going to be challenging because I can't bowl with my elbow this way and I know that the little one is going to have a hard time there too because she is really too young to participate. I'm sure we will have a lot of fun at both in the end but now in the lead up it is just making me a little worried. Wow - just re-read this post. Bitch, bitch, bitch....I think I might just need a nap!!
