Ahhhh, that's much better. Guess a two pound drop in one day means it was water weight, eh?
Food was good yesterday. I actually cooked fish and asparagus for dinner (for me--no one else in the house will eat my food =) and no late night snacking. No exercise, though. I worked later than normal and had a meeting at church at 6:30, and didn't want to go out for a run through the predicted thunderstorms at 8:30 at night.
I set my alarm to get up at 5 a.m. this morning to attempt an a.m. run, but heard thunder and rain so I hit the snooze and went back to sleep. I am so not motivated to run in the morning, especially if the weather's bad. I'll get in a run this afternoon, hopefully a 4 miler outside if it's not pouring down rain. Otherwise it will be the dreadmill for me.
I'm really feeling restless today--do you ever get that way? Like I left the iron on (even though I don't iron anything if I can help it). It's probably just the weather and the busy work atmosphere and me feeling like I'm stretched in too many directions right now. Maybe it's not working out yesterday. Not getting my "me time" is probably the culprit.
Next weekend I'm going to Arkansas to visit my best friend that I haven't seen for at least 3 years. She's my daughter's Godmother and I love her to pieces. She and her husband just moved from the Dallas area because he took a job with WalMart corporate. I'm leaving on Friday morning and coming back on Sunday, so it's a quick trip but just right for two girls to catch up and do a spa day and drink and eat. And it's all for ME--no kids, no husband. I love airports and flying and travel, when it's just me. I am so freaking excited.
Of course, it helps that I'm going to see her thinner than she's ever known me. We've been friends for eleven years. And I was always the fat friend. It's also the first time I've traveled as a thinner person by myself. I wonder if I'll be treated better because of how I look now? It will be fun to find out.

Have a great time on the trip. You deserve the spa day and more for all your hard work and what better way to celebrate, than with a great friend you haven't seen in awhile.
Glad the water retention is gone.
Ooooh how I wish I could go with you! Girl time at a spa?? I havent done that in years! LOL Enjoy it, you deserve it.
I bet she walks right past you in the airport!!LOL
Have a great run tonight!!
(Oh.... slowing down to 4.5 totally helped my breathing!)
Two pounds in one day. Perhaps I should get on the scale...
You didn't want to run through the sound and light show? Actually, running in the rain is really soothing once you get over the feeling of being hit with sharp needles. I get that restless feeling, unfortunately around 3am...
Don't wear shorts and tank top to the airport, just my two cents.
Definitely water weight.
OMG!!! How wonderful will that be!! Sh hasn't seen you since you weighed 207? It will be a fabulous trip!! I'm super excited for you!! ;D ;D
I'll bury a response to your comment here, since that is my MO...
I don't understand PMS (I know I'm lucky), but I definitely have experience with letting all the shit in my life get in the way of actually living it. You are better than me since you acknowledge it is happening and want to fix it...you also have a husband who supports you and wants you to be happy and children that depend on you. It is easier to write what I wrote yesterday than to actually use it in practice, but I try everyday even though I know it might not work. I guess it is an internal way of "faking it til you make it."
I've never been able to ask people for help, but I did recently and it has been hugely beneficial. If you think venting would be helpful, feel free to email me at:

Trust me, I live in a glass house so I don't throw stones...and I don't pass judgement - I know where that leads also...
