I'm coming clean ...

Okay. So there was something I was keeping from you guys for the past few days. Remember when I took that 4 hour drive on Wednesday? Well, that's because I had to drive to the airport (one that's in the Bay Area) and back, because the husband took the kiddos BY HIMSELF to Virginia to visit his Mom and her husband. I told him it sounded like a horrible plan as I cannot imagine taking the kids - by myself - on a red-eye flight. No way. No can do. 

But he did. Why? Because he's amazing (and it's just another item on the long list as to why I married him). Anyway, I took that four-hour-round-trip drive again tonight to bring them home. I must say, the kiddos didn't do the whole 'running in slow motion as they squeal in delight, 'MOMMA!', but I did get grins from their tired, exhausted faces. They did pretty good on the flight home. The youngest - not as good as the eldest, and I guess there was a short bout of screaming (as he wanted to get out of his carseat), which just proves that it was SO GOOD that I was not on that flight. That would have totally and completely  stressed me out.

Anyway, I love having my family back and getting back into our little routine. (and in case you hadn't caught on yet, I didn't go on the trip as I have my order to work on with a 'due date' looming in the near future. Oh - and nothing excites you more than instead of cutting 150 sets of ribbon you cut 750 sets, since you apparently do not excel in math - despite the ethnic stereotypes - which only wasted ... oh ... maybe 6-7 hours of your precious work time.)

Oh. So I guess I should get back to the weight-loss stuff. The scale said I gained a half pound this morning. Whatever. I don't understand. But I'm not going to freak. Instead, I fasted and ate one BIG meal at lunch time. I had 4 slices of bacon, 3 eggs scrambled with a little bit of onion, some cooked carrots and some cherry tomatoes. I also drank a good bit of water. So today's menu isn't for 'beginners'. Honestly, I NEVER thought I'd EVER fast, but hey ... stranger things have happened. 

Tomorrow I meet with my trainer and I'm going to have my body fat % done again and weigh myself on that scale. I'm sure Ryan will be annoyed that I'm doing this every week, but whatever. It works for me and keeps me motivated. 

So wish me luck. I'd love to have a decent number ... like two pounds. Just give me two pounds.
