So there I was yesterday having dinner with the boys and sarah (sea bass, curly kale with peppers & mushrooms) and the abuse I had to take when I suggested that we all start singing Christmas carols and of course being who I am I lead the way to groans of "Dad your so embarrassing!" or "What are you on"? But I swear on me dear sweet sainted granny's grave... we had Christmas weather yesterday with gales and cold and rain and stuff 'n' stuff. Fierce altogether for mid summer! I ask ya! a chorus of rudolph sounded quite reasonable to me!
Anyhoodle.... no loss this week, have stayed steady as she goes...however thats ok..I'm getting to where I need to be and all being well, even at a slow pace, I should be there by the end of the summer, so no pressure. Shure!! once I'm loosin weight and my children consider me an enigma...sure isint that sign enough that things are in order!
The boyo's were having friends over recently for a sleep over, and IIIIII was asked to sit down for a talking to by the lads.. Now Dad... please don't embarrass us.. no wrestling, no singing and no shaking their hands in fun for half an hour (very 'old' apparantly!). Can't I do just one verse of "I did it myyyyyy wayyyyyyy"? I asked serenely.... "NOOOOO DAD" they retorted in exasperation (I just grinned... mission accomplished always keep 'em guessin')
Just gonna pause here a moment so that caged liberty can re read and try to figure out what the hell I am on about!
[pause]
Well, I got into ketosis a few times over the last week, but I seem to get knocked out of it just as easily, my problem is the tiny amounts that add up at the end of the day, I mean who ever thought that a couple of cherry tomatos in yer salad, a couple of strawberries here and there and the odd dollop, or 5, of cream would all add up to so much at the end of the day...so while I think that I am staying under 20g a day.. who knows how many times I creep up to 23 or 25g... must try harder..(but that involves effort and stuff!) I wonder if I'm suffering from a male equivalent of TOM... anyone know what that is!??
Okay I'm getting funny looks for laughing into my computer screen... a sure sign that I'm rambling away me coffee break... Happy Monday y'all...

What a good story about the "Dad instructions" for the sleep over. My nephews have given me similar instructions when girlfriends are invited to family get together's. :) Usually their "crazy Aunt Debbie" is thought to be "cool" and lots of fun but apparently a bit too embarrassing to present to girlfriends. Sometimes I even manage to "behave", I usually ask the boys "how well do you know this girl? Why wouldn't she enjoy the same things you do?" sooooo, did your boys approve of your "behavior" the other night? wait till they start bring girls around, the list of "allowed behavior" will get longer!

Girls!!!!! you mean ... of the opposite sex kinda girls!!! *bless's self as I kneel to recite a decade of the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary!* Chuckles.. I suppose it will be happening soon enough debbie... so it will (at present its just texting to the girls and sleep overs for his male friends). God help me when he meets a girl who is ace at soccer! That for him might be nirvana (esp if she also worked in a pizza place!)

Thanks for taking it slow Dave, I managed to figure you out today. Actually, I was momentarily stumped by the desire for christmas carolling in June and then I read the next sentence! Dont worry about ketosis, if you you are losing weight steadily, its all good! Definitely miss your FS tidbits, I love trailing around your comments to everyone. You are optimism incarnate! Nollaig shona duit!!

Steady happens! Apparently you have a habit of "happening" too! Ah, your boys are so lucky and they don't realize it! When mine were that age, my hubby was clinically depressed -- only bad then they didn't know what the heck was wrong with him, so it went on for 10 years before we found a doctor who knew what to do for him! I had to constantly protect my boys from what ranged from grumpiness to outright anger to near total withdrawal. One time after going skiing (lived in Colorado at that time) when he was especially "grumpy" -- while he went to the rest room in the restaurant, we sat and giggled while we all attempted to list the OTHER six dwarfs 'cause we already KNEW who Grumpy was! So your boys should thank God you are so involved and funny . . . as long as you're not actually psychotic or something. hee hee!

I'm sure they love you for it even though they are sometimes embarassed by the same. You're doing great, don't let ketosis get you down. Your dinner last night sounds fab. I can tell Sarah hasn't gotten involved in the food planning....good thing for you!

The carbs do add up quick, don't they. I find if I don't keep a running tally I get myself into trouble. Keep being aware and you'll keep in ketosis. You're doing great.

If they are giving you orders about your actions now imagine their delight when you've had THE TALK with all of them.
Way to stick to your diet. The pepper and mushroom part sounded good.

darn! too bad I read this journal in an untimely fashion! It was a crack up! why is it that I can picture you laughing into your monitor?? Be glad that your boys are not running around shooting each other's eyes out, like my son!! lOL As for the song singing, I've learned that if you want to sing songs, pick one that they might sing! makes you look cool and gets you some brownie points too! :)
