My alarm went off this morning at 8am. Actually, both of them did - I had also set my cell phone alarm, just for back-up, and boy, it was a good thing, cause I didn't want to move! Saturdays aren't made for alarm clocks!
But I had to go do my final weigh-in for my Biggest Loser contest, and I had to be there by 9:30, so I had to get up and get going. It's at least a 45 minute drive, and so my day has started. I didn't expect to any better than middle-of-the-pack in this go-round, but while at my weigh-in, the coordinator told us that the numbers were so close, she couldn't tell from looking that there was any one clear winner in any category. She'd post the winners later, after all the weigh-ins, and we'd find out then. So, I have to wait to be totally disappointed. I was disappointed enough with my numbers - I did nowhere near as well as I have in the past, so I am pretty sure I won't be a winner this time. Ah, well. I've won in the last two go-rounds, and there's always next time!
I stop at the store for icing and ice, and get back home. I ice the little chocolate cake for Warren's first birthday party. I made the icing for the cake sky blue, and I made the words on it Royal Blue. I just put "WARREN" and a big "1" for him to dig into. It was pretty cool-looking, if I say so myself.
When I was done, I got on the pute, caught my games up, and checked the Biggest Loser totals. Yep, I was middle-of-the-pack. I was eighth and ninth on inches and percentages (I don't remember which was which), and I think fifth on pounds lost (it may have been fourth). The winner lost almost 15 pounds, and I lost just over 10. Ah, well, at least I lost 10!! I did sign up to do another go-round, so we'll see what happens this time.....maybe I can really hit my Super Big Personal Goal!!!
Ron, Corgan, and I played Wii games all afternoon (mini golf and bowling) and at 3, I made the Johnny Marzetti to take to the birthday party. We were leaving at 4:30, so I wanted it to be nice and hot to take with us!
Everything happened right on schedule (thank God!) and we got on the road. It had been raining all day, and of course, as we were leaving, it really started coming down, and started having a snowy mix in with the rain, too. It was pretty nasty out there. I took my time, and I doubt that I got over 50 mph all the way over to Mt. Orab - it was that bad/weird/nasty on the road, and it took us just over half an hour to make that 20 minute drive. But we got there, and that's what counts.
The birthday party was great fun! Everyone had brought some kind of food, and we all ate the real food first. Then, once we got to the birthday boy opening his gifts (without all the other kids 'helping' him - that was a lot of fun, let me tell you) and then to the cake, especially him digging into his little chocolate cake, it was a blast! Everyone took tons of pictures of the little Blue Boy and then enjoyed the grown-up cake and some ice cream, too.
We left soon after that, because the rain/snow let up and we wanted to take advantage of that!
I'm so glad we went, but because of the weather, I was glad to get back home.
We have Corgan again tonight - Josh and them weren't going out today (not even to the birthday party) because of the nasty weather, and it was decided to just wait til the nice weather tomorrow. That is a plus for us! We'll see what happens in the morning. I'm hoping Ron has a little talk with Corgan, but we'll see.
I put my food into MFP, what I could - some bits and pieces I couldn't - and according to that, I was just 100 calories short for the day. I'm thinking that I was rather generous with the servings I put in, to take care of the things I couldn't enter, but who knows? I am not really worried about it, and I have been really, really hungry all evening, too!!! I haven't eaten anything, but, damn, I want to!!
It's early, only 10:30, but I'm going to bed. Really. Truly.
Good Night!
