Things *not* to do on day 2 of TOM!!
Ugh!
Sub-titled: Why the *hell* did I weigh and measure today?!?!
Yeah, it wasn't pretty, but the only thing I can say is it will make the next one better hopefully LOL!!
UP 2.2 lbs since I weighed last, which is a total of 3.4 this month since stopping WW. Oh. And an increase (plus) of 4 inches. I *know* that is wrong. WAY wrong. Other than the normal TOM bloat, I do not feel like I have gained lbs or inches and my clothes do not feel it.
REMEMBER: I knew I would and planned for up to a 5 lb gain to get the numbers out of my head!! NO there is nothing wrong with counting points, calories, etc but when you get too focused on the numbers of "the game" like I was, you have to get them OUT. Out.Of.Your.Head.
So. I didn't do as horribly as I expected this month and now I am done. I was trying to keep track of the foods I eat still in some semblance of a journal and when I wasn't physically writing out the points values of everything still, I found myself mentally calculating them. Even for exercise. So. I quit exercising as much too, so I could get out of that realm.
I know this is why I needed to gain some weight. I knew I wouldn't let myself go over 5 lbs. I am a scale ho, I have been looking more than I have been reporting on my chart and in my blog. Look at my blog, it's empty except for the exercise challenge. It'll get back to "normal" Kelly-blog style in October. Promise.
Anyway. It's really been quiet at work this past couple of weeks for me and it has literally exploded the past few days, so I am going to be dog-paddling fast to stay afloat the next two weeks before I go see hunny.
Hunny is busy packing and moving stuff to the new place and I can't wait to see it.
DS isn't afraid to take Driver's Ed (I don't think) per se. I think he is just exercising his smarts. The class is 2-3 hrs a day, 3 days a week for 4-6 weeks after school, so he's probably worried about how it would mesh with homework (and social life LOL). So, he wants to wait until next summer to take the class.
Fine. I can deal with that. And, I am not trying to push him into anything, I just want him AWARE of what the rules (aka laws) are. In Washington, they have to have their permit for 6 months before they can get a license. So, no matter when he takes driver's ed, the permit has to have been in place. I told him that again the other night: you may as well get the permit and start the clock ticking. Take driver's ed when you are comfortable. They can renew it twice (so at this point, he'd be cleared until he's 18 LOL and out of my house).
The thought of car insurance on a teen boy scares the crap out of me, but fortunately, he gets decent grades.
So, we'll get the permit, take driver's ed and go from there.
I have finally been able to get around to a handful of the EP pages tonight and check on some of you. I will get around to more over the rest of the week and through the weekend. I know that is part of why I have been quieter because it puts me in a funk when I can't check on my friends!!
OK - have a great rest of the week!!
