Well, it was fun catching up with Blue's Blog. LOL!
No excuses about not popping in sooner, life's been busy. What can I say?
I spent last week trying to undo vacation damage, so far I have not been successful. Back up to 203!! Dern it!! I had finally gotten back under 200 only to flub it up on vacation.
My dad behaved fine, there were too many people around for him to really give me a hard time. As a matter of fact, he paid me many compliments. Not weight related ones, but I wasn't expecting any of those anyway. He wanted to take everyone out to dinner one night that didn't have other plans and I suggested Bahama Breeze. There ended up being 16 of us at that meal. (We had 25 in total show up for the family get together.) Well, the menu was awesome, the food yummy. So my dad came to where I was sitting and told me what a great restaurant choice I had made and also thanked me for working so hard to help my mom organize this great time we were having together. My mom's friend sitting next to me said that she could go ahead and die now. That her life was now complete since she actually heard that man pay me a compliment! We had a good laugh over that one, but I told her not to die just yet. We kind of like having her hang around.
All in all, a great time was had by everyone! Everyone got to do what they set out to do. Those that wanted Disney, did Disney. Those that wanted Universal, did Universal. Those that wanted rest...rested. Except for me. LOL I was being the hostess with the most-tess. OMG! Our condo became party central and the party would go on until at least midnight every night. And the next morning, we would have bright and early risers show up for coffee and breakfast. I got very little sleep the first few days. By mid-week, a good half of the total family went back home (dad included) and things settled down a bit, but the midnight parties continued. It was mostly lots of chatting, laughing, wine drinking, card and/or game playing. We had a blast. I was more tired when I got home than when I had left. Shelton doesn't know how I did it. He said I never stopped.
One day around lunch time I was soooooooooooooo tired that I couldn't even lift my head to look at the people around me and I honestly feared that I would be like a little child and just nod off to sleep with my forehead landing in my plate!!! So, I told everyone, "I am taking a nap before my head drops into my plate. I am sooooo freaking tired!" 20 minutes into my nap and my phone twirped with a text message and I was wide awake BUT amazingly refreshed. I guess a power nap was all I needed.
I think I just spent all of last week trying to recover from my vacation! LOL
As far as the weight gain and being back up to 203? I give up. I really do. I can't keep obsessing over this. I just plan on continuing to eat healthy and come what may. I am not doing any more 3 day fat fasts or anything radical. I fasted most of yesterday but only because I wasn't hungry until supper time. I'll eat when hungry and I'll eat correctly but beyond that...I'm done.
Well, for now anyway. LOL
You know, I'm subject to change my mind. It's a woman's prerogative after all.
