We laid my great Uncle to rest today and the community came together and made lunch for the family and friends. So... I had seconds. AND dessert 🤦♀️. I don’t regret it. It did make me feel good that a few asked me about my diet and why I was eating so much. A couple community ladies asked me how I’d lost the weight and I gave them all the tips I could as well as promoted CICO to start with and FS. A few other ladies kept slowly walking by and glancing at us so I know they were interested too. These women weren’t what I’d call heavy but more like they needed to lose 20# to be at their ideal. Of course one wanted it immediately and said she had trouble sticking to anything even two weeks and I was insistent that sticking to something at least two weeks would show her some progress and tracking was necessary to show her where she could make changes and be aware of exactly what she ate. Unfortunately based on what she said I doubt she’s serious enough to start but I’m hopeful that she will. Talking about these things made the time go by quickly and allowed me to focus on something other than my uncles passing. I’ve never said this before but the funeral and everything was nice. It was a bitter cold day but I think my uncle would’ve been pleased.
At dinner my 4 year old said she remembered when my mom died (11 months before she was born) and remembered her laying in that casket and meeting her. Of course that is a little freaky. About two years ago she identified my mom in a picture that didn’t look anything like mom 😳. She could pick her out of pictures when she was bald from chemo, when she was a size 7-9 (normally a sz 1) after chemo and when she was very young. She can’t seem to now. I want to believe baby’s come from heaven and therefore meet our loved ones that have passed away but it’s hard to have that kind of faith. When mom was dying she had an ‘episode’ where she woke up frantically looking for me, even trying to get out of the bed even though she couldn’t get up at that point and informed me that she had seen her mom in heaven and grandma had been holding a baby. ‘A baby Jo!’ Of course I believe this to have been the baby I lost early in my second pregnancy because mom was insistent that she or someone else find me so she could tell me this. I’d never told her that I thought of that baby and had wished/hoped she/he was in heaven and that my grandma and great grandmas were taking care of her. Funerals make me think of all these things and I seem to save my grieving for later on (except when it was my parents). An odd day but a good day I guess.
I also had to take my middle to the high school game to meet her team and try to learn from the HS girls. We had an hour between so instead of the nap I really wanted I played ball with her. My Apple Watch recorded the same amount of activity as being at the game or while I was at the funeral. It seems accurate as far as overall daily burn if I’m sedentary but not so much if I’m actually active. I know I had to burn off some calories today as I stood outside twice for about 15-20 minutes each time and I shivered the entire time. Enough so that my kids asked me if I could stop shaking lol. A cousin had blankets and shared with my oldest and let me borrow the other for myself and two younger girls. Squeezed them both in close to me and I stopped shaking for about two minutes until the wind picked up again lol.
I’m so very stuffed, I wish I’d have taken home the desserts that were offered and I just want to pass out and sleep for a week but my mind won’t shut off! Two games tomorrow at 10&12 and the oldest wants to stay for the 1&2 o’clock games. They always run late so I know we wouldn’t get home until at least 5pm. Breakfast at 8 and nothing for the kids until 6? Nope. Also can’t see another high calorie $50 concession stand meal but there’s no time to stop and my oldest shouldn’t play on a full stomach anyway or the middle eat right after playing. Maybe the first game will go quickly and we can stop for tacos or something and they can have 1-2 in the car on the way. Something light and quick that’s not super filling for either of them but will fill up the youngest. I can gorge on $1 popcorn 😁. Hubby insists on buying me a bag/box every game pretty much. They don’t salt it and it doesn’t taste buttery at all so I’m guessing it’s not that bad for me.
Hope everyone has a wonderful safe weekend!
