Our trip was good, even though it was short. We got the other car back here, not much fun for my husband since it has no air conditioning, which is why we drove late at night so it would be cooler.
Saw my mom, grandma, dad, stepmom, paternal grandparents, uncle and aunt. Lots of family time....which means food....
The foods I ate were NOT healthy, but I did not really have much choice in the matter. I compensated by eating very small portions of whatever was offered and eating more of whatever healthy side was served. (Like 1 small piece of fried chicken, skin removed and a big side of salad.)
Looks like I did ok, because the scale is down today from when I left. (I didn't weigh while I was gone.) I remembered to drink a ton of water and had some healthy snacks with me so I was not starved when the unhealthy food rolled around.
It was good to see everyone, since I probably won't get to again until winter break.

Every house we visited tried to feed us!! it was crazy. And grandma's do NOT take no for an answer. They will empty the cabinets trying to find something you will accept!
I took a 2.5 mile walk with my husband tonight. It was hot and muggy and neither of us were very talkative...but it was still exercise.

My grandmother always kept a full stocked kitchen because no matter which one of her seven grandchildren walked into the house we each went to the kitchen first and searched through. She would make anythign we wanted and keep anything we wanted! Too this day when she visits me or when I'm driving home she makes my favorite foods for me. There's nothing like grandma's cooking... too bad its sooo good

Yup, que sera, sera. Don't sweat it. If it's not good, you'll get rid of it next week. I gained 3 last week and took it off this week plus another 2.5. You'll be fine.

Good Luck on your weigh in... don't worry about what it says... You have been doing great in the overall picture.
You had a few days where you weren't in total control of you're choices and even then you were in control of your portions. Soo you did the best you can

I hear you there. I have the most hilarious, yet loving grandma. (I learned how to cuss from her.. hahaaa!) My grandma told me the other day, "Aww I'm so proud of you. Baby Randi and Stacy (my sisters) told me that you've been taking care of yourself and losing weight." Within the same breath she said, "So when you come back Hawaii, we need to go to Makino Chiya (This wicked Japanese buffet that my family LOVES.) and celebrate, ok?" Ha! She kills me. lol

I agree with Ms. Jenna there. You'll do fine at the weigh in, girl. Besides, even if the numbers on the scale don't change, I'm SURE your measurements will. Personally speaking, loss of inches is so much better than a freaking number off of a scale.

Loss of inches is definately better than intangible numbers on a scale!
However...I lost 3.6 pounds this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! other than my first week, that is the best I have ever done. I am SO excited! Especially given the whole out of town, family feeding issues.
I get measured next Friday, lets hope those are down, too! (I only measure once a month.)
My maternal grandma is also hilarious, Sheryl. When I was engaged, she invited me to a sex toy party. I told her there were a lot of things I would love to do with my grandma, but look at dildos was NOT one of them. No one needs to know grandma's length preference!!!

WTG on your 3.6 pounds!!! That's soo exciting and I see you got a new ticker too
I have to agree with you on the sex party. I share lots of things with my grandma but dildos most certainly is one I would skip out on too

Congrats on the weight loss! You go, girl. Speaking of wild and crazy grandmas--last week mine thought it would be funny if I gave her a hickey on her neck so everyone at bingo would be scandalized. I think they'd be more scandalized that it was given by her granddaughter! And I have to say, I was rather scandalized myself that she even thought of it. I love my Gran--but not that way..lmbo I told her she needs to find a sugar daddy to give her one--b/c I am NOT going there!!! Gross!
