Thans so much Tracey, Tracy and Beth. You all give me strenth!
Whew, I just now caught up with all of your journals, sorry I have been so MIA lately. I just cannot seem to get caught up.
Friday: Didn't make it Curves, ate too much out with mom, ended up splitting a burger with her and having pie to boot. Not good
. Then that night we went to friend's for a late dinner. I had two small pieces of chicken, a few bites of potato, a few green beans, one oreo, 10 chips with salsa and 1.5beers.
Saturday: Got on the scale and was still down five pounds. Had Taco Bell for lunch, (no breakfast, slept in) and chicken and some soup for dinner. Ran mega errands with dh, took ds to a cooking class (he wants to be a chef), took dd for a haircut to correct the total hack job she got last time (at the dumb expensive salon I might add
), then sent dh and the kids to church without me to get some stuff done. Didn't work out all day but drank a ton of water.
Sunday: This will be long and boring, feel free to skip: Got on the scale (I am back to overweighing my overweighted body as you see) and was up two pounds. Gee, I wonder why? We had to go to church with my parents this morning. Stepdad (who is almost 83) was preaching at their church since their normal minister is on vacation. I am a bad daughter, I didn't want to go. Why? Well let's see, I have about a million things to do, it was a blizzard (yep, and it was 76 degrees yesterday, love the weather in Colorado) and frankly thier church is all the way across town and full of nothing but the over 65 crowd. It doesn't inspire me. I also get nervous because I think stepdad has lost his touch a bit with age, last time he kept forgetting things and it was nerve wracking. Luckily everyone that goes there is ancient so they have no idea, he could be up there speaking Chinese and they would probably not notice! He did very well, but the ride over was no fun in that blizzard. Had my mom with me so she woudn't have to go to both services and listened to her prattle on about the election. The one that is in one year. The one she cannot STOP talking about. I kept thinking how sad, I will be killed in this awful weather on this miserable highway listening to my mother blither about politics. We made it safe and sound. God love dh, he puts up with a lot of aggravation from my family! Two minutes before stepdad gets up to preach, the storm knocks out the power. So now I am seated in a sanctuary with maybe 25 senior citizens who managed to brave the weather, in the dark and its freezing since the furnace went out too. Luckily, 60 years in the pulpit has taught stepdad to not be phased, he preached from memory (not bad) and did a very good job, literally in the dark. Then they took us to the famous White Fence Farm nearby where they serve nothing but fried food. Fried chicken, shrimp, fritters, and fish. They did have turkey breast so I got that. Their salad is all iceberg lettuce so I skipped that and had a baked potato with a small bit of butter. I did split a piece of pumpkin pie with dh. I didn't eat but four of the fritters (they are small). My tiny little mother who woke up barfing (she told me about that in between political commentary) ate literally about 20. She's probably home hacking up fritters. Told her as we parted ways I would see her in about two weeks and she was in tears. So I told her I would come over on Tuesday and visit and get her house cleaned. I have this busy week, I haven't packed, cleaned (which I need to do desparately since housesitter will be here). I have no idea how in the Sam Hill I am going to get ready for this trip. If they call me to sub, I'll have to turn them down. And I have to be at school on Monday and Tuesday mornings to work with all the speech meet kids. That is one of those "one hour, two max" volunteer gigs that has morphed into a super nightmare! Okay, rant over.
I did get together a list of groceries for WDW (Beth thanks for the soup tip, its on the list!). I plan to cook a total of four easy meals. We'll want to stay in once or twice to watch the Rockies in the World Series anyway so that should work out nicely. I am thinking of pre grilled chicken strips with salad and soup. I am also going to have my oatmeal in the mornings. So I should still be eating out a bunch, just not each meal. And not any sitdowns except Sci Fi where I have made dh promise to share a burger with me. I just love those movie flicks, cannot skip that one!
I really hope to make it journals consistently before I leave, if I don't, please forgive me in advance!
Oh, and I am putting on my sweats and working out on the treadmill tonight. I also plan to Curves on Monday and Wednesday. I'll have to go to school in my workout clothes since I have no time to come home and change but hey, I am free labor what can they say?
Thanks for reading such a long post!
,
) it just flew by. Food was so so, two parties and a few meals out between Friday and Sunday didn't make it easy. But I did manage to go to Curves Saturday morning and drink my water each day. I was back at Curves today and I must say I really love that workout. Not sure how much good its doing but at least its getting me back in the routine of working out.
They are doing a great job this year. Maybe they'll have a chance to play our Indians in the World Series. 
My favorite place in Epcot? I have several: Spaceship Earth, Test Track, American Adventure, Rose n Crown pub, Club Cool, anywhere I can see Illuminations, e.t.c., e.t.c, e.t.c.
! Spaceship Earth is my fave, of course its down for our trip wouldn't you know it? I'll go to the pub and have a beer and think of you Wish Sis!
I was thinking this same thing this morning when I found out the Indians won last night. (I can't watch the games...I get too riled up!
) I would love to see a Rockies/ Indians series!
Woohoo! I say pack for Disney and when you get there, decide if you want a relaxing trip, a theme park extravaganza, or a combination of both. During our trip in September, we only spent two days in the parks....It was great! We got to check out some of the other resorts and we went to the Boardwalk and DTD. Not only did we get to relax a lot, but we still have 8 days left on our passes for future trips.
I think my DS11's Little League team could have played better! 
We should be used to this in Cleveland (and in Ohio) by now, but it still bugs me.
