Thanks Tracy. Well another crummy weekend on the food front! I pretty much ate and drank non stop from Friday night through yesterday afternoon. I really need to approach weekends differently. Next weekend is Mother's Day so I know on that day I'll eat and drink more than I should but the rest of the weekend needs to be as Tracy says, way more structured. I tend to plan all my meals during the week, guess I need to really plan the weekends too since this go with the flow thing on weekends is flowing right onto the scale.
My brother's mother in law passed away Saturday. As you may recall, she suffered a brain hemorage from a tumor they didn't even know she had last June. After such a long illness I am thankful she's out of her suffering but so sad for my sil and the rest of the family. I would really appreciate prayers. I looked at some photos last night, one in particular stood out. It was taken at Disneyland in December of 2004 and it was all of us together, including her, my mom and Dan's dad all having a wonderful evening. Good times, good memories.
So we leave five weeks from today and I am determined to be at 25 pounds. No more excuses, I can make it happen but only if I stop having food fests three full days a week. I weighed today on my crummy bathroom scale and I think I am up a good three pounds. Which if I get back on NOW should go off pretty quickly. But this idiot cycle needs to stop because even when I get to goal, its a bad idea.
I have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do this week. The house is a wreck, Dan got all his old Star Trek collection out. He spent probably close to 20 years collecting stuff and he's ready to sell. He still loves Star Trek but no longer has any interest in keeping it. Its been sitting in our crawl space for 14 years. He found a collectibles dealer who said she would definitely be interested so he's going through each thing, trying to determine its value and also it needs to be catalogued because we want to make sure what we drop off is kept track of. Its going to be a big job, maybe we'll get some much needed money for this stuff and having the space open in the basement is a good thing. I think he kept it all these years in case ds wanted it but he has no interest in Star Trek so I guess its on its way out of my house! In the meantime there are lots of boxes and bins and its driving my OCD self insane.
And on top of that, its time to get ready for Disneyworld, clean out closets and give any winter clothes we don't want or summer clothes the kids have grown out of plus get stuff organized for the garage sale. Its going to be a busy five weeks but I want to get all this done before we leave so its done.
