Today was Memorial Day.  I started my morning by getting up at 5:10 a.m.  I sat around until 6:30 a.m. when I finally weighed in.  4 more pounds down!  AWESOME!  A new weight of 211.8 (12.8 pounds down).  I can’t wait until the scale reads under 200 pounds.  I then went grocery shopping at 6:45 a.m., cleaned the house until 10:00 a.m., made stepping stones for the garden with the kids then split and stacked wood for the next 4 hours.  I was exhausted.  And I barely ate anything until 4:00 p.m.

We had family over for a huge lobster, oyster (my husband and I were the only ones to eat them) and filet mignon feast late in the day. It was awesome.  And I totally went over my calories.  In both food and alcohol.  I really let myself go today.  And I don’t regret it in the least bit.  It felt amazing and it was good to let go.  I feel confident that I will get back on track tomorrow and be back where I need to be.   I am sure I really did a number to my diet today, but I am glad I did.  I worked VERY hard and had a great time with family.  (I love my family, both sides, everyone…. I am really blessed in that department).

After everyone left we got our kids bathed and folded and put away all the laundry for the week.  Then we finally sat down.  I don’t think I will be able to get up again I am so tired.  Looking forward to sitting around at the office tomorrow.  (and getting back on track).
