Sunday killed me

I did great all week with my diet. Didn't cheat, no matter how much I wanted to. But Sunday came, along with Bud and Craig, and 10+ hours of D&D. I realize now that D&D is going to be my biggest hurdle. With the boys came 1.5 bag of Cheetos, 1 bag of Doritos, 3 Papa Murphy pizzas, a 12 pack of Diet Pepsi Lime (thanks, John), and a late night visit to DQ. I started the day well, with a bowl of plain oatmeal + splenda + a piece of turkey sausage. Then it all went to Hell.

So, long story short, the scale said 293.5 on Saturday night and 297 now, Monday night. I hopped right back on the wagon this morning and had a really good day. I even got 1.14 miles on the dreadville while John and Chloe walked Haplo to the park. They had fun and I guess I almost enjoyed my walk, too.

I'm a little jealous of Haplo. He's down 13 pounds and he doesn't even seem like he's starving to death. He's been on a drug called Slentrol since June 2nd and it really helps him. I can already tell that he's feeling better. His hips don't seem to be bugging him as much. He still has 28 pounds to go, but what a great start! I can't even imagine him weighing 80 pounds, can you? He's going to be tiny!

Gotta tell you about Chloe's first swimming lesson at the Y. There are 5 kids in her class. They go in alone and the parents all have to sit out in this lobby/pool viewing area. So, I'm waiting for the class to start, watching a bunch of old ladies do water arobics. When their class ended, every last one of them paraded up this ramp and out of the pool and walked across the whole front of this viewing window, turned and walked another 100 feet or so into the locker room. OMG I would have died having to walk in front of God and everyone that far in my swimming suit. I haven't reached the point yet where I'd be okay with that. Someday, it'll come, I'll say screw it and enjoy whatever I want, despite my body image. (Oh, Chloe's lesson was great! She dunked her head underwater and floated on her back. GO CHLOE! She loved it and can't wait to go back)

I think Sunday's should be banned. They seem to be my bad days too.

And I say you should say screw it...I parade around the Y in my swimsuit. And we did fine parading around RR last summer!!

Congrats on the loss!!! You rock! And so does Haplo! I didn't even realize he was a fattie!?!?

Glad Chloe is having fun with swimming lessons!!

Miss you guys!!
