Catch up

Okay, I felt bad about not posting all weekend, until I looked at the dashboard and realized no one else posted either! I am guessing that means you all had as busy a weekend as I did! So I will play a little catch up for you guys.
Saturday we had to get up to the baseball fields by 10:15 for Logan's t-ball pictures followed by his game at 11:00. I am hoping his pictures will turn out okay...the team picture is going to be a total loss - it was as if the camera man told each kid to look in a different direction! LOL The game was great - well, I assume it was...I was pretty busy chasing Landry, so I didn't get to watch a whole lot of the game. But I never saw Logan crying or acting up or arguing with JR and after the game, JR confirmed that he was so good, in fact, he was reall IN to playing. Landry was such a little fart, if I watched the game for more than 30 seconds and turned to check on her she would be all the way to another field...I gave up trying to watch and just played chase with her. Then, when Logan was up to bat I would pick her up so that I could watch him and she would scream the whole time, "I want down I want down!" ughhh After the game we ran to get something to eat, headed home and put Landry down for a nap. JR took my car and Logan in to Austin to get two new front tires and I stayed home and mowed the yard. I grabbed a quick shower and got dressed and we all headed back to Austin to do some shopping. JR got several new shirts and a new pair of shorts, and is going today to get some jeans...he didn't like the way the jeans fit him...so he decided to go to a different store. I got a couple pairs of shorts and a pair of jeans and several new tops! JR is out of the big & tall section! In fact, he has gone from a 4XL to a XXL and from and size 50 waist to a 42. On the way home, we decided that we weren't going to go to the baseball game the following day, because we were both just too tired. We got dinner and went home and I think we were all asleep by 9:00.
Sunday, Logan woke up and wanted to play with the slip n slide - So JR went and set it all up. We were out there from 10:00 am until 3:00pm! We had the neighbors, my neice and nephew and Logan and Landry! I can't wait to see my water bill! But it was a lot of fun...the biggest problem is that Logan wants to do it every day, and I am telling you that our water bill will be about $400 if we go out there as much as he wants. Plus, I dont want him to go out today, because his skin is still just slightly pink and I would like it to be completely healed before I expose him to more rays...but he wants to go out there so badly....he is driving me crazy! I am thinking about taking them to the library....maybe if he checks out some new movies that will distract him until tomorrow!!???
This past week - EVERYTHING - went to hell! By Tuesday of last week - I just finally got worn out...plus we were out of the house all day Wed. and Thurs....but basically, I wasn't here to clean on regular schedule. So, the house quickly became a wreck - and I realized very quickly why it is so important to keep up with that schedule. Also, I stopped cooking...I guess it was a combo of being tired and a little disappointed in the the fact that I have not seen the results in myself that I had hoped for. I also went the entire week without working out. It started because my arm was killing me, then my knees were hurting so badly that I decided to give them a little TLC...well here it is a week later - and my KNEES are STILL killing me - so I guess I am just going to have to work through it. Anyway, because I was too lazy, JR's weight loss suffered a bit, and now I feel terribly guilty. He weighed 314 yesterday morning, which put him at a 3 pound loss for the week. He was upset, because on Wednesday he was at 312 and it looked like he would be on schedule to make his goal of hitting 300 for the casino...but he also isn't working out at all, and I can't do anything about that. So Sunday night, I told myself that my little break was over...it was time to get back to business, so I cooked a healthy meal and i went grocery shopping for the week. So we took a small 4 day detour from the diet...although while I was eating fast food burgers, JR was still making smarter, healthier choices, like a turkey breast sandwich on wheat! I dont think JR will be able to lose 14 pounds over the next 5 days, LOL - but that's okay...I just need to be better about the cooking - but it kind of sucks to think that his entire success depends on me! ughhh! No pressure. I, on the other hand, weighed 134.8 yesterday morning...so we will just say 135...so considering my weight fluctuates between 132 to 135...I am not at all discouraged by it...to think that I have eaten fast food, and haven't worked out a lick for and entire week, and I didn't pack on a bunch of pounds...well - 135 isn't too bad. I am not saying that I should continue on the path...I would very easily get up to 180 if I ate like that everyday! So today, I WILL get back out there and work out! I am devoted to getting back on track as far as the diet and exercise goes...I also need to get back on track with my house...my floor is NASTY - so I am going to have to sweep, mop, and vacuum today! YIKES - looks like I better get busy instead of wasting time writing my novel!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
5 more days until I am sitting at the roulette table! AHHHH I can't wait!
