Day 42
On the road again.... It was a long day of traveling. We started out making great time. But, then we hit Cinci and it all went downhill from there. We finally arrived at our destination 2 hours later than anticipated. No worries though. All in all it wasn't a bad trip. Meals were spot on.
The McElrath/Shimko welcoming committee made us feel right at home from the get/go. We were greeted with 97% lean ground beef burgers and a cold brewski (yes... I still enjoy beer. I just plan for it.). Having said that, the purpose of tonight's post is to remember that it's ok to enjoy the occasional indulgence. I've planned for this and I don't feel guilty about tossing back a few brews with my friends. However, I do find that I'm a light weight these days. :)
Why is it that our natural tendency is to feel guilty whenever we indulge? For me, I think it's the fact that in the past every day was an indulgence. But, that's not how I roll anymore. This weekend is the exception, not the rule.
Me and the scale made a deal before I left. I've lost the 3 lbs that I gained back from what I lost the week before plus .5 more this week putting me at 238. Our deal is that I come back on Monday weighing the same as when I left. If the scale knows what's good for it, it'll cooperate. OR ELSE!
We've got some fun activities planned for the weekend. There will be some Wii fit, some sledding and some bowling going on around here.When we were here for New Year's Eve weekend, I was worried that I might not be able to sled. I was terrified that I was too fat or it would be too hard. This time... just 42 days later... I cannot wait!!! I'm not afraid at all. In fact, I can't wait to hit the hill full speed.
My Ohio family is in rare form tonight so I have to go and listen to all the stories. Take care. Until tomorrow.
Cheers!
Margaret
