A good day yesterday, watching football, and eating a delicious pork roast dinner from the crockpot. Also, oreo pie. I make no apologies. But I do intend to get back on track.
Friday at least I went back to the gym, so that goes in the plus column.

I realized yesterday that I’m having a slight stomach upset. Hopefully it goes away today, and when it does, this bloated feeling every time after I eat. Anyway, it looks like I’m headed back in the right direction.

No bad news is good news.

Well, I’m down since yesterday, but still have a long way to go to get back to where I was. And then a much longer way to go to get to where I want to be. But of course, you can’t get anywhere unless you make that first step.

Yesterday was my birthday. We went to Outback, and had a Bloomin’ Onion, and I got a free ice cream sundae. All night my stomach was grumbling. But that was a good thing, I think. Because it reminded me how much I really do have to get back on track.
This morning I think I am ready to once again do the right thing. I had a brief psychological lapse just after the wedding, leading up to my birthday. That was a time of celebration. Now is a time of getting back to real life. I feel inspired.
Today the weatherman is saying the temps will only go into the mid 80’s. Soon, the leaves will begin changing color. Autumn is here. Football is in full swing! Everything feels new and fresh, and this is a time for me also to start fresh.

Yesterday was a day of lots of good eating and drinking. It’s the weekend.
Oh, I just have to answer this!
I was six or seven, and my Aunt Barbara took me and my sister to see The Beatles in Help! She took us in her little green (or red, I don’t remember which) MG convertible, and we sat in the tiny space behind the seat, so THAT in itself was fun, driving all around town with the wind in our hair. It was also fun because every time she would pass someone else in an MG, they would honk and wave at each other, and that was just so amazing to me that you could have this bond with strangers.
But I digress. We went to see Help! and I was blown away by the music, and the images, and the BEATLES. It was so much fun. I think probably this movie was the beginning of “music videos.” They would play a song, and the Beatles would run around doing all kinds of goofy stuff, so it was music and comedy and story all in one. It may be that I became a fan of movies and music and comedy and story AND The Beatles, all at the same time.
Afterwards, on the way home, we were discussing which of the Fab Four we each thought was the cutest. I don’t remember who I preferred, but I do remember that this day opened up many new doors for me. And the fact that I was being included in adult concerns and adult conversations when I was only six or seven…well, yeah, this blew my mind.
That Christmas I got a Beatles wallet. ::sigh::

Which is amazing, because last night I kind of pigged out. We went to a restaurant called Golden Rule BBQ, and I had the combo platter, with a little bit of everything, and got totally STUFFED. Anyway, today should be a better day. Last week I did not do the gym at all, and I had my period and felt all bloated, but today I really am beginning to feel like I can make a new start of it. Time for a tall glass of iced water!

And there is a reason for this. Actually, it has not been a good week for weight-watching. There have been a lot of other things on my mind, and no pressing reason to keep my weight loss going, so I’ve slacked up a bit. But I can always regroup. And I will.
