Weighing in after two weeks......yipes...

Tuesday, December 3, 2013

Today was a bit of a strange day.  I would think one thing was going to happen, and something else would.  Or, I thought something was going to, and then it wouldn't.  Strange.  But, that's the way it goes sometimes, right?

I woke up around 9:30 and read a bit before getting up.  Once up, I was going to start a load of towels, but for some reason, it never happened.  Haven't figured that one out - I don't really have a good excuse.  I just didn't go in the laundry room and get it started.  I was too busy playing on the pute!  I was also waiting on a phone call, telling me it was time to come up to church to help set up for our Altar Society Christmas Party tomorrow night, but that call never came. I also thought - before noon, I need to run up to the library and get that over and done with, and stop at the store on the way back.  At 1, I had a bowl of my turkey and noodles for my lunch.  At 3, I was thinking - "Shit!  I have GOT to get up to the library NOW.  Damn schoolkids are gonna have all the computers!"  (My printer is out of ink - that's why I have to go to the library; to print stuff.)  I made it up to the library, got that all done, then went to the post office and mailed the cards I forgot to mail on the way (duh) and then went on home - forgetting to go to the store, which means I have to get up in the morning and run uptown, because I have a full day tomorrow already on schedule, starting with making up the goodies with what I was supposed to buy at the store today.  Sigh.
As I am on my way home, Josh turned in front of me (I was sitting at the red light at South St.).  He is stopping at MY house!!  Crap, crap, crap!!  I was hoping to get home before he got there and get the Christmas lights plugged in!  But, no, of course not...

After he leaves, I was back on the pute, when Ron let me know he was on his way home, which was good, because I like to see him before going to my TOPS meeting.  He got home about quarter til six.
At ten after six, my friend Bert called to see if I could run her down to Amelia Kroger to pick up some prescriptions.  I told her - yes, I could, but can it wait until 8?  I have a meeting at 6:30.  After talking to her for a few minutes, she said that IF she found another ride, she would leave me a voicemail on my cell.  If not, she would see me a little after 8.  OK, fine.

We didn't get to meet last week - it was snowing, and was supposed to freeze, so everyone thought it best not to drive - so this meeting will be two weeks' weight, not just one.  Yi-yi-yi.  This could be bad!  I know I did pretty good in Gatlinburg, but Thanksgiving?  And no exercise on Sunday, Monday, OR Tuesday??  Yep, gonna be bad.  I just know it.  So, I step gingerly on the scale.   I LOST!!!  Only .6 of a pound, but it's a loss!  I am so glad!  I am most certainly gonna take it and not complain at all!
After the meeting, I did have a voicemail from Bert and so did not have to drive down to Amelia.  I went back home, had "lunch" for supper - chicken salad, walnuts, some celery sticks, and a banana.  That was it.  Yep, MFP got to holler at me today.  I was over 700 calories short for the day.

Today is getting five stars for food and nothing once again for exercise, but, boy, do I have to step it up for my weigh-in on Saturday!
