This new weight doesn't make any more sense than the last one, but I like it better, so I'll go with it - but I realize that it may not be real. My daughter and I spent yesterday shopping for stuff she needs for Burma/Myanmar. I spent about $700 on things like a portable hard drive and a gazillion smaller things - and previously I paid for her one-way airfare ($1100), etc. It's time for me to treat her like a grown up, and I'm telling myself that this is the last time I'll do this. And it's not that she's been asking me to do all these things exactly. It just seemed like a portable hard drive would be sensible, and she needs lots of high spf sunscreen, bug spray, etc., etc. We're meeting her dad and grandmother to go out to dinner tonight. I have big clean up plans for today, then the flight and 700+ mile drive to be completed in one day (I hope) on Monday. Then both daughters are home. I so hope that it goes smoothly. It's only for a week, but there is friction between them, and the younger one is standing up to her big sister now (unlike in the past). Wish me luck! I may need it.

OK. Time for me to get back to the program. Back in March, when my weight went back up a couple of pounds, I decided I was going to get back below 150 before I entered my weight. Big mistake. Today, I weighed 3.4 pounds more than when I weighed last Tuesday before I went out of town for 5 days. Kind of hard to believe I gained that much weight when I wasn't awful about what I ate. So, since I figure (hope) I'm at a high point from which I can make visible progress, I entered the weight. Painful, but now it's done.
Two weeks from today, my older daughter heads to Burma/Myanmar for about a year or so. My younger daughter comes home from college in one week. I'm going to fly down south to drive back with her so she won't be driving alone for over 700 miles. She won't be home long, since she leaves for an internship at the end of the month. All three of us will be together less than a week - and the house is too much of a mess with all that's going on. At least the grass is mowed (my daughter did it!) so it's not as bad for the neighbors. Work is stressful. It'll be easier for me to eat better at the end of the month when things calm down. Too many sweets around with my daughters here.
Gotta go to work. My fingers are crossed that today won't be as bad as I expect.

Some time ago, I was inspired by DairyFarmerWife's vow to "stop cussing in front of the Amish" and decided I would try to cuss less - generally, that is - not just in front of the Amish, which would be easy for me since I don't see the Amish often. I haven't done so well on my goal - more specifically, the part about cursing less at work. In fact, I have failed miserably. A new low. On Thursday, I mentioned my goal to coworkers who were celebrating a birthday in the group (but I didn't eat any of the birthday brownie pie from Dangerously Delicious Pies). Turns out to have been "famous last words." Probably six hours later, I was in a meeting with a couple of important people (think "Board members"), when I looked at my phone and said really loudly "S**T! I forgot about my PT appointment!" (which was scheduled for 10 minutes later and I was 30 minutes away). I left the meeting immediately. I avoided the immediate embarrassment moment that I deserved by my quick exit and rush to get my keys and go to PT. No one has said a word to me about it since (there were probably 8 other people in the meeting, in addition to the 2 important people, whom I won't see again for a month). BUT I can't believe I did that - well, yeah, I can BUT it was so bad of me. I was over 20 minutes late to PT, but that turned out to be OK. I may just try not to curse at home today. I can't clean up my mouth till I clean up my brain (not sure I can do that) and it's a problem since too often my brain doesn't get involved in the process.

The brownie pie is probably the only temptation I've resisted this week. Too much work and too little sleep (working past 2:30 a.m. two nights in a row, getting up by 7:00 to work some more) weakened my will power - and homemade coconut cream dark chocolate covered eggs were calling my name. So I'm not going to weigh in until I get back on track. Avoidance. That's something I can do well.
