Start: ...
Day 1 - ... Meant to be home late tonight. But the normal 4 hour drive turned into 17 1/2 hours of car time. Not "drive time"...cuz we weren't able to drive all that time. Winter Warning Weather means something 'round 'bout these parts. But it was a good time for conversation with my daughter. Since moving out, she's put on some weight...it's effecting her..when she shops, etc. I try to tell her to do this...she won't be on very long, she'll be in the consolidation before I am...and she loves protein, so it won't be difficult for her. We'll see. Other than that, I tried to do better today with my stuck wherever it is that I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere-options. And I'm just too tired right now to make myself some oat bran. The first day in these 20 weeks that I haven't had my oat bran...it's one of my favorite things to eat in my day-to-day life. I'm just too tired to take care of it.
Day 2 - ... Oh dear. What was that number...172? It's gone...I didn't come type it down and now I cannot remember. Which may be a good thing..it couldn't have been bad-bad or I'd remember, eh? It couldn't have been a 16- number, or I'd remember.
Day 3 - ... Playing blog catch-up. Busy with church and food...choir was cancelled so I was just able to enjoy the evening with my husband and daughter. I had a plate of food. Didn't go overboard. Didn't have big servings. And I was fine. Didn't go back for more. Didn't scarf down my stuff.
Day 4 - ... Another driving day. Had lunch with an old high school friend...sat and talked for hours. That was good. Visited with a sister...that was good...showed her how to do hoe-downs and butterflies...they made her tired which made me feel good because she's a thin person who exercises. I'm used to the T-Tapps...I mean, I work at them, but they don't kick my butt like she was saying, "Phew!!" Good moment. Then visited with a cousin for a few hours, that was good therapy. I'm not alone in the "not perfect family" club.
Day 5 - ... Away from home...visited with my brother...got my hair done and enjoyed time with my hair person/friend...visited with another sister...then another sister...got some puzzles for the husband...then, took a sister to the store to get a visit in. Went to see my girls. I had a few words with my eldest, but she needs them said every once in awhile. Explained to my middle daughter that she needs to quit hiding as much. Didn't have many words for my youngest...we had just spent a few days together, including almost 22 hours in the car by ourselves. We already took care of our stuff. But over all, we had a good time. The words were a few moments, we turned to laughing at Sophia Grace and Rosie and life.
Day 6 - ... Ready for a laugh? So. I snuck Tiny Spicy Chicken last night. I say snuck because I didn't want grief from my girls...who are completely supportive of this diet that I'm on, even though, you can tell I haven't been following it completely...a strange sort of hybrid (mostly Dukan), while I get my crap in order. Anyway. In the wee hours of this morning? Whah...wah....oh man. It was not good. I don't know that I've had food poisoning before, but I know I have had it now. Later on, helped my youngest make my signature pie for her to bring tomorrow to her boyfriend's family's Thanksgiving meal. Took her to work. Did the rest of my "while in real town" errands and made my way home. It was SO good to be home with my husband. Scared to weigh in tomorrow. lol...wonder why that is?!
Day 7 - 172.4. Wow! Completely surprised me with that one. It's been a rough month. I've blown it on quite the few occasions. Don't know that the number will be as good tomorrow morning, but. Oh well. I'm getting fed up with myself with not finishing this phase up already. So. It'll be happening shortly. I would like to be in consolidation for 1 January 2012. It can happen, but it's my deal. So. I'll eat my meat and peas and roll today and let it go for now. I can eat it again soon. It's okay, I'm not deprived.
Official weigh in from the end of my twentieth week in the Cruise Phase: 173.2
Week twenty weight loss: ...
Total weight loss: 31.8
