DD's birthday was wonderful. DH took DD11 and DD12 to participate in Coastal Cleanup Day in the morning. They wanted to do this at the beach that they have been swimming at for the past three weeks and show DH how far out the buoy is. They got extra credit for science too. In the afternoon, DD11 had a soccer game (they won!) and I was snack mom. DD11 wanted to bring cupcakes for the "after game" snack. After DD11 got cleaned up she had her presents and a "treasure hunt." She didn't want a party this year so her big present is annual passes to
Disneyland!!! The treasure hunt was for fun trip related stuff: buy a silly hat, candy from the candy palace, lunch at Blue Bayou, a pressed penny for 1995, etc. It was a lot of fun. We went to Marie Calenders for dinner. DD11 loves the potato cheese soup and chicken pot pie. DH's mom and sister came over for the game, etc and dinner.
I have been reading and posting on everyone else's journals first because I was embarrassed to post on my own.
DD's birthday on Saturday was wonderful for her, I'm totally ok with it not being healthy for me. Sunday however????? I have been on a bonified binge!

CJK - I'm not upset about Saturday and Friday was clearly stress eating, but Sunday??? I have no good excuse.
Monday will be better. At least, it better be ....
Tracey - I am definitely feeling like a taxi service right now. DD11 has school from 8-2:20 which is reasonable. The middle school is 7:40 - 2:15 except DD12 doesn't go to her last period since she has Independent Study PE. M,T, and F she is done at 1:15. Wednesdays she has her period 1,3, and 5 classes so she actually stays until 2:15. Thursdays are period 2, 4, and 6 classes. Since she doesn't have a period 6 class she can come home right after period 4 at 11:15, but I make her stay at school for lunch "so she can see her friends" (and I get a bit of time for a walk
) and pick her up at 11:55a.
I'm sure you will be able to find some other walking routine with the swim practice.
You are very lucky!While the older DD's were doing another ocean swim I managed to get in another 20 minute beach walk with the jogger stroller.
The beach workout sounds a little dangerous, especially the part about "timing the waves in order to get past the bluff". Your trip to the zoo sounds like fun and a great workout! That weight is going to come melting off.
You go girl!!! 
. I will be more careful now to time my walks though. I really don't want to have to swim!
(and too true 
Just focus on each day and make the best choices that you can for that day. 
You CAN do it, Anna! 
We all have those bad days where we just lose our minds. You will snap back from the bad weekend, don't worry!
