LIterally nothing other than long days of taking care of out of town guests and party prep for my daughter’s graduation party.
This post should be titled “Week 9 Sort of Not Really On The FMD.”
This week was a crazy one. Last week of work at school, daughter’s graduation and party, my father and son and parents in law coming in from out of town. Something has happened in the last few years with the parents…it has gone from them coming and helping us with food and dinners and cleaning to us taking care of them and making sure they are safe and cared for when they visit. Both my father and parents in law are in late 70s/early 80s and it is starting to show with them.
Graduation was Thursday and our party was Saturday so there was much to do. Throw into that mix my husband taking chemo therapy and my daughter starting a new job and I was barely staying afloat. I ate on plan about 60 % of the time I’d say, and there was alcohol every single day. By the end of the week I could feel that familiar complacency of “well, I’ve been doing this all week and it hasn’t been so bad.” I saw a 158 on the scale during this week and got lazy.
So the scale was a reality check this morning. Up a pound over last week. If I want to keep losing weight I have to do better. Back on the program I go. Looking forward to getting back on track this week. I plan on starting my triathlon training this week too…so here’s to a summer of exercise, delicious food that is healthy, and more continued weight loss.
