Day 54

Well I feel good about what I've lost so far.  I still have a ways to go and I know things are going to start to slow down for me at some point.  I haven't been exercising at all...I'm a little frustrated.  I actually for the first time in my life want to run.  There is a program through the same place where I go to my meetings that slowly gets you ready for a half marathon.  I kinda want to do that.  Everything I read says that running seems to be the thing the helps people keep the weight off.

Hubby does not want me to run.  He says it's not a good idea at my age. That's why he got me the bike.  I need to just get on the dang bike!  Maybe I need to do one of those incentive things.  I haven't really been talking to my sister much, but maybe I can do it with John.  My sister has called me once since the whole guilt trip thing over Terry's birthday and that was just to see if I was going to an event we were both invited to.  I told her no.  Then my nephew texted and said everyone is asking about you...you should come.  So I put all the kids in the car and off we went.  My sister barely spoke to me the entire time I was there.  Then my tenant told me she was going to Vegas this weekend.  I don't know why she effects me like she does, but I'm learning to not let those things get to me.

The same day I went to that event was the day before we had to take all the kids back to their perspective parents.  I had a mini melt down.  I just needed to be alone.  I didn't go off or anything. I just went in my room and read.  I think I was over stimulated.  The kids were so loud and hyper.  I felt my heart racing.

The weekend was great.  Hubby and I went to Disneyland to renew our passes.  Staying on the shakes was not a problem...carrying around a mini cooler was a pain in the butt.  We are thinking of going back in 2 weeks.  Hubby suggested a hidden mickey scavenger hunt.  He is so awesome!
