Teacherman and Angelgirl are home today (schools are closed) and my office is closing early this afternoon so we can get a head start on the long weekend.  I’m very excited.  We have a family outing when I get home in about an hour.

After a sneak peek at the scale yesterday showing a four pound gain - after a week of barely eating! (just Medifast meals, a couple apples, some lean chicken and veggies),  I decided rather then getting frustrated or screaming till my lungs hurt, that I was just going to relax and enjoy this weekend.   I rarely do it and I know it means at least a 10 or 20 lb gain by Tuesday - but you know what, honestly, if I don’t let off a little steam I’m just going to crack.

Everyone has a limit and I’m just about at the breaking point.  If I can’t loose weight controlling every single morsel and calorie that I take in so be it.  I will just be the fattest person in the world that doesn’t eat any food.   But that can wait until Tuesday, because this weekend I’m going to just relax and enjoy and indulge a little.  

Today we are going to see the new Indianna Jones movie, and I’m having a couple of handfuls of popcorn and I refuse to feel guilty.  I haven’t had movie popcorn in over two years.  Then Teacherman suggested we go out to dinner too, and I said “sure, bring it on!”  (normally I refuse to eat anything that I can’t measure and\or look up the calories for).

Tomorrow my daughter is having her birthday party at a laser park, with pizza and ice cream cake.  I plan on having a piece of each - again the first in over two years.

Sunday and Monday I haven’t planned yet, but I am betting Teacherman wants to cook on the grill one of those days.

My estimate is about 20 lbs will be gained over the next four days.  But I will need to prepare myself for much more just in case, after all I have been known to gain 9 lbs over night for no reason at all so who knows what can happen in four days when I am not counting every crumb, weighing every ounce, and actually eating food that has to chewed rather then mixed in a shaker with water.

I think my thighs just swelled a little thinking about the weekend ahead.   But who cares, to heck with the scale this weekend, I’m going to have fun, enjoy my family, and actually eat something that has some taste to it.  (Let’s hope I don’t regret it too much on Tuesday.)

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, fabulous weekend!    Lady Rose
