I talked to dh about it at dinner last night and he said "I shook my head in disgust" OK WELL THEN I bet they learned a lesson from that. DUH.

The scale finally moved this morning. One whole week at 234 and this morning was 233. Hopefully it keeps moving. We have a long weekend of travel infront of us so I'm kind of nervous. Friday evening we are going to my sister's and staying until Monday morning and from there we are traveling to Mass to bring our kids to a dinosaur museum and to visit where we used to live. I am going to pack up my shakes, bars and bullet so I think I will be ok while at my sister's but Monday I dont know. In the car and I dont have any RTD (they gross me out). I vow to do the best I can. A couple of weeks ago I would have said it was ok to go off plan for a couple days but after not having my food and the set back that caused I am not willing to do that anymore.

Jenn!! You are 1lb away from 30!! wooohooooo (I had to subtract since your sig is off *

Have you been able to get some things accomplished while the kids have been gone? Normally when mine are gone I sleep alot
Have fun on your trip this weekend. Before I got any RTDs..I would mix my shakes, put it in an empty water bottle and put in the cooler for the road. Worked like a charm!

I cut my hair off today so I am hoping for 30 pound loss tomorrow LOL

I have done quite a bit of cleaning this week. Tom and I also took the opportunity to do more together. Last night we went to a minor league baseball game. It was so nice to be able to watch and not tend to the kids. I told him that I am sleeping tomorrow as late as I want since it is my last day.

I'm not all that concerned with Monday's travel. I think every other day will be easy. Monday I can have a shake before we get on the road and a bar while we are out and about. I might just have to have two L&G instead of 1. Should be ok though. My sister asked me today what I wanted for food at her party. It was nice to say "none of it" My dad is grilling chicken and I know there will be veggie platters so I should be fine. I might bring a case of water with me.

I take all my jewelry off before I weigh!!
Never thought about the hair...it's pretty
long, and it's coarse too--that should count
for at least a couple of lbs., huh?

Now you're thinking. Cut it off, then weigh it, lol.

I cut off about an inch in the front then the back is totally different now, layered and short short. Wonder how much hair weighs.

That's why I shave my head

I am struggling big time right now. I had planned out my entire weekend and wasnt going to cheat at all even tho we were travelling. Today at noon DH called to say his boss told him he has to work tomorrow. He actually said "oh did you have plans" DUH Tom was supposed to be off today at 3pm and not be back until Wednesday. So now he has to work, I have to drive to my sister's alone and then Sunday drive back with the kids. We were supposed to go to the Yale Dinosaur museum on Monday. Something our son has been looking forward to for a month now. I had to tell him today that we cant go because Daddy has to work and wont be with me this weekend. I am so upset and my first thoughts were "screw the diet, I dont want the added stress" I am trying to talk myself off that ledge right now. I was thinking it would only be for 2 days but then I started thinking about what would I eat if I didnt bring my shakes etc. and I cant think of what I could possibly eat at my sisters for even just breakfast that would be ok so I am going to pack my shakes and my bullet. I might not do as well in the car now that I am the one doing the driving but I think I can work around the trip. It is 4hrs each way so I am going to try.

[JeepGirl]

Ohh Jenn I am sorry girl! I know how that can be when the Boss calls grrr

I know you have been doing good and I would try not to get to stressed about this. You will do the best you can and there is no point in anything else. You will get through this little trip and back on track if you slide a bit!

Drive safe and give those kiddos major huggs!!

Ok total off topic journal entry. This is the kind of thing that would normally send me right to McD to drownd my anger in food.

DH called his parents last night to let them know that Saturday we will be doing a party for Caleb and Em's birthday. Well his rediculas mother called me this morning and set me right off. They cant come down to her grandchildren's birthday because that is the day that they do "halloween" at the campsite and it is the only real "halloween" that kelsey gets. Who is kelsey? Kelsey is our neice. My sister in law's daughter. SO why is Kelsey going tricker or treating in freaking September more important then my kids birthday????? Kelsey lives in Conneticut, 5 hours from her grandparents. We live in NY 1.5 hrs from the grandparents. They have made more trips to CT to see Kelsey this summer then here to see our kids. Can you blieve that???? They have travelled 5hrs each freaking way more times then coming here. They have never missed one of Kelsey's birthday parties (she is 4) but they have missed several of my kids parties. At what point as a grandparent do you decide one of your grandkids is more important then the others????? My kids asked her if they could go up and spend a weekend with her this summer and were told "sorry we dont have any weekends free" so I suggested a weekday or two and was told "I babysit too many kids to have your kids here too" WHAT THE HECK?????? OK so I suggest Sunday because we have other friends coming Sunday for thier birthday and it is their actual bday. I was told "Well that is Ashlyn's baptism and Dave and Madonna are going to be her godparents" That would be DH's sister and her husband. I said well maybe after church then and was told "Well there is probably going to be some kind of party or gathering afterward" I freaking give up. I have tried everything and have offered everything. There is nothing left. I freaking hate them.
