Mom's Visit

I brought Mom back with me after my Mother's Day visit to Borger.  We drove down on Monday and ran into big rain just south of Wichita Falls.  We had to pull off the highway and get under shelter at a truck stop because the rain was coming down so hard.  Thankfully, we had taken a break a little earlier in the trip to allow the worst of the storms to pass by us before we got there.  After our little rest at the truck stop, we drove on into town and the weather & traffic was pretty good.  That's good news, because Mom isn't the biggest of fan of lots of traffic or bad weather while driving!

While in town, Jane & Mom did lots & lots of shopping.  I meet up with them in the evenings and we would all go out for dinner. It wasn't the best thing for my diet, but it sure was fun.  I really enjoy when she comes to town, and I think she had a lot of fun.

We headed back to the panhandle on Saturday morning, and met Bill in Vernon.  That's where we made the swap and they were on their way.  I hope Mom comes back later this summer when the water in the pool is warm. 

YIKES!!!!!

This is the first week that I actually gained weight since I started this whole thing back in January.  I went up to Borger for Mother's Day, and I guess I enjoyed myself a little too much.  A couple of Mr. Treat donuts here, and hamber & hotdog there.  It all adds up to gaining two pounds this last week.

So I'm hoping to get back on track this week.  I'm drinking my shakes and eating a very light lunch.  But Mom's in town, and I'm sure we'll be going out each night this week to eat.  I'll have to be on my best behavior to keep things in check.

Uhhh...What Happened?

I got back on track this week, and really worked hard at eating right.  I started drinking the shakes, and having my snacks like I'm supposed to.  I ate sensibly the rest of time, and even got back on the treadmill.

So what happened?  I only lost a half pound.  :(  It almost makes me want to go eat a big ol' bowl of Blue Bell Ice Cream.  But I didn't do it...yet.  I'm going to keep at it, and hope the weight loss starts again.
