Just Stuff

This post is going to be kind of a list of random things that happened this week.

1. I went to a Work-Out group on Monday night. I am still sore, and it has been almost a week. I am considering whether or not to go back. Keep reading to find out why this is such a hard decision.

2. Adam's birthday: When we came to Claremore we didn't have any money, all we had were food stamps. So for Adam's birthday I bought and wrapped a package of double-stuffed Oreos. The next year was very similar, so I did the same thing. This year we had money and no food stamps, but I figured I had started a tradition, so I bought him a package of Oreos. When I gave them to him, he said "I better not see this on your blog". Sorry, Adam, but it was worth mentioning, especially since they are only tempting if they are mint flavored. It's also worth mentioning that the stuff in the house doesn't get to me nearly as much as the proximity of the fast food restaurants to our house. I am definitely addicted to fast food and I think about it way more than the stuff that Adam keeps for himself.

3. Sunday School Christmas Party: As I was eating whatever it was that I had put on my plate, Adam gave me a new word. He said, "I don't want you blog-plaining about this". Well, no complaints here. All the food was good, if not necessarily good for me, and I didn't worry too much about it, I just ate less than what I usually would have.

4. Holiday Baking: Cupcakes, cookies, bread. All really good. Still have more to do next week, but managed this week to not do too much sampling of the product.

5. Weigh in: I left this item for last, because I figured it would be majorly affected by the previous three items. When I was thinking this morning about stepping on the scale, I expected to see a higher number (even if slightly). I thought that if I anticipated it in regards to the kind of week I had, then I wouldn't get so bummed about it, and I would continue to do the things that were helping me. I got another surprise when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw another pound down. Maybe if I had done better this week it would have been more than a pound, but since I know that "slow and steady wins the race" I am good with just the one.
