Hey, you.
Quick hello before I turn in early for the night. I really hope your weekend was full of sun and relaxation, and that the whole incident with N left you alone. Still wondering if you responded to him?
We had a very busy weekend, after all. I completely forgot that this was the neighborhood garage sale and that T&S were selling some stuff for us. Friday night we all had dinner together and priced things (ok, I priced two things) and then Saturday everyone was up early facing the crowd...and I'm not kidding. I stayed over there most of the morning, until we had to go to JJ's game.
Unfortunately, they lost, and were eliminated from the playoffs at Game One!! Bummer for the boys, but I'm not all that sad. Later that afternoon, JJ's friend B came over to spend the night. T & S finished up the garage sale and brought K over for dinner (R is out of town). I made a huge pot of spaghetti, because, unlike you, we had freezing cold (hail included) sideways windy RAIN pretty much the entire weekend. (I have to admit, though, the sun came out right when the baseball game started and the rain started (no kidding) the minute it ended. God was showing us a little grace while we lost!) Even though I didn't have any of the spaghetti, it was a big hit and we had a nice catch-up visit with K. I think I told you she's working on finishing her AA online, and we hardly see her anymore.
It was an early evening, but on this diet I am dead tired by 9:00 most nights, so that was a good thing. This morning I had to get up early to get B home, then drop JJ off at a friend's house for a day of Paintball. J and I took the time to do all of our shopping for the upcoming annual camping trip (we leave this Friday); we hit Costco, Fred Meyer and the new Winco and managed to get everything done. It was nice to spend the day, just the two of us kicking around. I already need new bras, so we did a little shopping too. By the time we got home tonight and picked up JJ, there was a ton of laundry to do, homework to finish and yada yada yada. I wrote a little and am now ready to call it a day.
On another note: I told you I was going to start the Hcg hormone diet, right? I'm not sure if I told you I actually started it ten days ago. I passed the 10 lb mark this morning and I am really happy with this program. I feel like this is it. I want to find success with this, and I was so afraid it was going to be like everything else I've tried. I was afraid I'd get to Day Three or Four, then attack a Big Mac like a beauty pageant contestant. But so far, honestly, I have had no real desire to eat anything I'm not supposed to. On occasion, I wish I could eat a "normal" meal, but I am definitely not hungry and I don't really have any cravings. I mean, in 9 days, not once have I veered from the strict diet and it hasn't been even a little bit of a challenge. Sure, dinner looked and smelled great last night. J bought Ding Dongs for camping today and I eyed them a little. I miss popcorn more than anything (weird, eh?) But I don't fight any of it. It's like I don't even have to try not eating it. I think about it for a few minutes, then the desire just goes away. It's such a strange thing for me, and very hard to explain. I'm not used to thinking about food, then deciding not to eat it. Particularly without tremendous effort. I'm so happy with the way this is going. Tomorrow is my first checkup - I weigh in and get measured again with MC2. I'm pretty excited about it, feeling as good as I do. I'll keep you posted.
I have an appointment after that which will put me out for most of the rest of the day, Tuesday & Wednesday I work, Thursday get the trailer ready, pack, etc. and Friday we're out of here for four days. I can't WAIT to get out of Dodge for a few days and sit around a campfire with nothing better to do. I don't even care if it rains the entire time!!
Wishing you a good week ~ sorry we never caught up on the phone but I will try to touch base before we leave.
Love you,
A
