233.2 (weekend weight - as usual)
I actually had really nice weekend. Friday night we had the boys sleepover. It was fine, but I know I don't want to have twins! Daniels two friends were 5 year old boy twins, and although very sweet considering, they were a handful! Erik and I just shook our head so many times this weekend. Its such a change for us to have more than one in the house. When it's just Daniel, he's usually hanging out with us or playing x-box with his dad or watching a cartoon on TV. When it's the 3 of them it's LOUD crazy screaming children. I'm sure this is normal in houses with more than one child, but we've been spoiled. They are good kids though, so although it was different, it wasn't all that bad.
It also helped that I dipped out Friday night and played poker with friends, leaving Erik to put the 3 of them to bed.
Saturday we went to a parade just down the street from our house for our local "founder's day" celebration. It was nice and the kids got lots of candy. Saturday afternoon and evening was dedicated to football. Boy did it suck! FSU played HORRIBLY against Wake Forest. I was so disappointed. This was the first televised game they've had and it was miserable. Our two new quarterbacks threw a combined 5 interceptions! FIVE. So bad. So that sucked.
Sunday was church, nap, TV, etc. It was Erik's birthday but since he had to leave town today he was running around a lot and we only celebrated a bit at the end of the night.
Today Erik leaves for Vegas for a week long seminar. I fly out on Thursday to meet him and come home on Monday. I'm SO looking forward to this. I love Vegas and we go out usually once a year, usually in June. We haven't made it out this year due to the wedding, but I'm glad we still get to go. We're staying at Bally's which is right across the street from Bellagio - my favorite hotel just because of the fountains out front. I'm very excited.
So today I had GREAT plans to hit the gym after work. I packed my bag and everything. Then I got here and was getting the bag out of the car and realized I forgot my socks. GRRRR. Now I can do weight training maybe without socks, but I definitely should not hit the treadmill without socks. That's the fastest way to a blister that would keep me off it for a week or more. So I'm mad at myself because I know I'm not motivated enough to work out at home, so I need this "at work" trip to keep me going.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day. I'll hit it then for sure.
Oh and by the way? Thank you notes suck. I've been dreading and procrastinating for weeks now, and it's getting bad. I need to get them out this week or it just looks really bad. I've only got about 35 or 40 to do - way less than the invitations I had to do - but I'm just dragging my feet for some reason. I will knock out at least half of them today. I swear!

Sabotage, Sabotage
Last WI: 214.6/At Home WI: 214.6 (better, but not good).
THURSDAY
Well it's Thursday - WI day - and I have mixed emotions. I woke up yesterday to 216+ on the scale and really felt my week was over. Part of that high number was the beers I had the night before, but it was also a good part legitimate bad eating. I planned to have a perfect day yesterday. It started off right with my balance bar for breakfast but when I got to work, Holly was waiting for me. She works with me, but usually in a different office. She had to come by our office for something so we caught up and gossiped for a while. She ended up staying till after 11:00 and wanted to go to lunch. Now this is the bride I described before - eats EVERYTHING and will be wearing a size 2 wedding dress. Yes 2. So she of course wanted to go to Slices - a great pizza place down the road. I had planned on subway for my "perfect day" but gave in (surprise surprise). I did only have 1 slice of pizza - it's one of those places that have huge slices - and she had two (bitch). :-)
Obviously the scale is down this morning, though frankly I'm surprised. I was late getting out of work and had agreed to volunteer at the fair again last night. So I picked up McDonald's for dinner - very healthy. Then after a few hours at the fair I agreed to let Erik get me a hot dog - didn't need it. And finally, instead of going to the gym when my shift ended at 8:30 I went home. And had a glass of wine. Oh the good choices abound.
So this week has sucked. It's so common for me to have like 4-6 weeks of going great and then sabotage. I know I'll see a gain if I go to WI today. I'm thinking about not going. Now I know they always say you should "face the music" and WI anyway. But I hate seeing the gain. I don't know. I haven't decided. I think part of it will depend on scheduling. I've got an appointment out of the office at 3:00 to meet with a witness (named Pig - charming huh?). If I get done with that appointment in time, I should be able to go home, change cars and clothes and WI before I need to be at the fair at 5:45 (last night of volunteering). The good news is that for the 2nd week in a row I won't have my typical Thursday night after WI drinking binge due to the fair commitment. Any hot dog/fair food I eat could not be worse that consuming bar food and 10 beers.
So here's the plan. I've let myself go this week on both food and exercise. I'll forgive myself that. We all need a break now and then. I have got to recommit though. WI or no WI today I have got to make this coming week a good one. I'm back to a normal schedule with the exception of Saturday which will be crazy football day. Holly's an Alabama grad and I'm an FSU grad. Well, this year is the first year in a very long time that our teams play each other. So we got tickets. It's a game in Jacksonville so Holly, Dana, me and Erik are driving down Saturday for a 5:00 game and have to come back afterwards because Holly has to teach Sunday school in the morning. Will be a very long day with one of us very unhappy. But should be fun regardless. I'm looking forward to it. Tomorrow night we're celebrating Erik's birthday with friends. He turned 36 last Friday but had family in town, and then the fair, so we haven't really been able to celebrate. So I will be DD that night and he will be getting toasted I'm sure. That should be fun. And then Sunday we have a different poker league that has a game. Busy weekend, but with the exception of Saturday (game day!) I should be able to make some good food choices AND get some exercise in. That's the plan. Back on track. I've had my "vacation" from WW. Now I need to DO THIS. Not long till the wedding!

Over-indulging
Last WI: 216.8/At Home WI: 217.6
TUESDAY
As you can see by this morning's scale reading - I went overboard yesterday. I knew I was going to and I really did nothing to stop or prevent it. Let's start with Sunday - my last "good" day. After the gym, I didn't leave the house. Erik went into work for a bit and I read/napped. When he got home we watched the netflix movies we had and ordered Chinese in. I was "ok" in that I order chicken chow mien - which is good - but also had two egg rolls - which is bad. All in all though it was still a very good day and I came in under points. I was rewarded yesterday with a scale reading of 215.8 - lowest yet.
Then yesterday came. Every year my best friend Holly and I have a party on labor day. The last few years, it's also coincided with the first FSU game. So this year we planned for a 2:00 start with drinks, snacks, and some craps. We then started a poker tournament at 7:00 and the football game started at 8:00. I was doing ok until the football came kicked off. I had been drinking some, but mixed in some non-alcoholic drinks as well. I wanted to see the game. Then the game came on....and we did HORRIBLY. I mean bad. And Holly started delivering jagger-bombs to me and others - I think to help dull the pain of my team playing so badly.
Ultimately I had to ask Erik the final score this morning. I knew we lost cause I had no memory of being happy at the end of the night, but I didn't know how bad. Turns out we sort of rallied in the second half and brought the score within 6 but couldn't close it out. We lost 24 to 18. :-(
So - I did end up doing well in the poker tournament at least. But, I drank too much - munched on snacks too much - and feel like crap today for it. Why do I DO this to myself?
So I'm at work, trying to wrap up the day. It's been rough. The day has DRAGGED by and I totally came in late. Erik called a while ago too and said he wants to go to the gym with me again tonight. Which is actually really a good thing because I need to go and feeling like I do would likely come up with a justification for not going. Having him want to go commits me to going. I need to. I'm scheduled to do 3 miles today and I really need to keep up the schedule if I want to lose this week.
I desperately hope that the scale gets back under 216 tomorrow. I was so happy to see the 215's - I'd hate to have ruined it all. Now I know I didn't gain 2lbs in one day, but I need to recover quickly as Thursday's approachin.
Today I've had a huge publix sub for lunch. I had bought it yesterday on the way to the party with the idea that I would eat that instead of junk food, but it didn't work. So I missed breakfast today and had it for lunch. I was more than I should have had though - it was a whole sub and at publix those are huge. I'm counting it at 18pts which is a LOT. I also just had a peach to try to get some fruit in for the day. Shortly I'll be leaving to head home and meet Erik for the gym. Dinner tonight will be something very light and I will desperately try not to eat any of the APs I earn.
Just in a foul mood today. I hate FSU losing the first game of the season. Booo! Grrrr. Grump grump.
