Tuesday
I had nothing planned for today, but I received a phone call about the baskets I had won at the festival on Sunday. I can't wait until I am going down the road again on Wednesday - they must be picked up today. (I wonder, though, what would happen if I truly couldn't get there!) So, I must make the trip down 1freaking25 this afternoon - between 4:00 and 5:00, which does not correspond with anything I have to do!
I decide to get there right before 5, and kill an hour sitting in Bob Evans before driving back to Bethel for my TOPS meeting. With this in mind, I get myself a bowl (side order) of fruit to pick at during that hour instead of "something to eat." Well - it didn't work!
When I weighed in, the scale said that I had gained 4.6 pounds!! 4.6!! What a crock! I couldn't believe it! Totally blew my month of losses out of the water....I was so disgusted with myself. How could I have messed that up so bad?
I came home to a supper of a huge salad, as planned, but - damn!


Wednesday
Today went pretty much as planned.
I left here at 11:00, picked Bert up soon after, and off we went to swim at Teresa's all day. And I do mean all day! Once we got there and everyone was changed into swimsuits and we went to the pool, we didn't leave until after 5:00! Teresa did leave to run up and get us all lunch at either Wendy's or McDonald's, but we ate our lunch poolside and then swam again - without putting more sunscreen on (big mistake!) - then finally went back to Teresa's apartment, changed back to regular clothes, hung out for a bit, then headed for home.

Ron had cheese weenies cooked and we had the rest of the salad veggies with them. And that was the evening.

It was a wonderful day!!!! I can take days like this!!
Except for the extra-red lobster shoulders........
