When I went to my niece's play last night one of the girls wore a wedding dress. It looked kind of familiar. There was a reason, it had been my sister's wedding dress nearly 24 years ago. I could hardly believe it. . . it was so tiny. The girl wearing it couldn't have weighed more than a hundred pounds. Come to think of it, I didn't weigh much more than that when I got married ---- years ago! I could never fit into my dress again. (Then again, why would I want to?)
Why is it the we gain so much weight with age? I don't buy that our metabolism slows down, it's that we slow down. Think about all the running around we did, sports, etc. Always on the go. Never time to eat. Now we come home, eat, get ready for bed and go to bed. OK, yeah our metabolism slows down because when we are active, we speed it up! We just need to get active again!
If only I could have more days like today. I didn't have a chance to eat breakfast until about 10:30. I had a healthy egg-white flat bread sandwich from Dunkin Donuts. Since I usually eat lunch around 11:00 or 11:30, I didn't eat again. I just had an apple after the gym and a bottle of water.
That's right. . . ate light, went to the gym, ate an apple, and drank water. Like I said, if only I could have more days like this. It was a fast-food Monday I have to say. I did not have the energy to tackle the grocery store, and the cupboards are bare. I picked up some KFC grilled chicken, potatoes, and green beans for my son and I had my Fresco favorites from Taco Bell: Fresco Bean Burrito and Fresco Chicken Ranchero Soft Taco.
With only one week and a day left of the contest with my co-workers and 12 days left with the sisters, I NEED to have more days like this!
