Week 12 - Cruise Phase

Start:  176.6

Day 1 -  176.6!  Oh joy of joys!!!  The stinking number is going down.  Now.  To keep it up.  Going out of town today, for a mini-road trip.  My sister from Oregon is coming down to see my dad..so I'm heading over to see her.  Just making a quick trip...counting on my hands to hang in there because I have music to play on Sunday.  So...no weigh-in tomorrow, but I'll be back on my scale on day 3.  Here goes a mini-travel...and keeping on track while away from my kitchen.

Day 2 - No weigh in today.  Slept well at the hotel, wanted to sleep more.  Went to Idaho with two sisters, a nephew and a niece...it's nice to have my car full of people instead of just me.  Visited with another sister and brother and their families.  Dad slept a lot of the time.  He's not doing so well.  I didn't eat every few hours, my own fault.  Emotional day.  Being with family.  Seeing dad all weak.  Watching the guys take care of dad.  Going through my childhood home.  Seeing my childhood best friend's mom for the first time since 1984.  Sigh.  Great day.  Emotional day.  But good day.  Did not eat fries.  

Day 3 - 177.4.  Got home a little after 4am.  Feel puffy and tired.  Good day at church.  Too tired and sluggish to exercise...it's the sabbath...I'll do it tomorrow.  There must have been a lot of salt in that Diet Dr. Pepper and the roast beef.  It's all good.  I'm choosing to have a good attitude about the weight thing because I could wear two of my daughters' clothes.  Not as well as them, but...it's the first time I've ever worn my youngest's shirts.  It's been years since I shared clothes with my eldest.  I'm starting to think it's in my future.  That's awesome.  I won't be a fat-mother-of-the-bride.  Sigh.

Day 4 - 177.0.  Don't feel as puffy today.  Feel completely wiped out.  Drank a propel early this morning because I already had that hollow feeling in my arms..that stuff usually helps.  I need to make fake cookies, but I'm just tired.  And feel like I'm whining, but I'm not.  I'm too tired.  Had the munchies this evening.  Need to get back into the blue book.  Don't want to start slipping.

Day 5 - 176.8.  Not much to report today.  Meetings.  Didn't eat the provided Chinese food even though they had my favorites.  I'm good at denial.

Day 6 - 177.0.  One of these days I'll get back serious/serious.  Doctor appointment is on Monday.  I look forward to getting blood results back, hopefully, the numbers are down.  I look forward to being weighed and not having them put the big weight on the 200 mark.  Not looking forward to telling her that I'm not doing the South Beach Diet...it isn't that she intimidates me...it's pretty close to intimidating though.  I'll mantra that I've made a difference...and will continue to do so.  Made cookies for my daughters...

Day 7 - 176.0.  We're going out of town this evening for a few days...so no official weigh ins for a little bit.  I'll step on her scale, just to keep track...but won't document here since they'll not be the same.  Getting back into my T-Tapps.  Hoping that they'll help my breasts...sigh...not gaining weight to get them back.  Not sticking to this weight to keep what I have left.  Where's Oprah when I need her?  I need some of those bras that she says we ought to have!
