Three day weekend..woo-hoo!!
Down another pound this week. At this rate, I may reach my goal weight by 2008! All kidding aside, at least the scale is moving in the right direction and that's all that matters. I shouldn't look too far down the road because otherwise I start to feel overwhelmed by just how far I still have to go. I should focus on OMOHOD (one minute, one hour, one day) at a time. It sounds hokey but it works.
I love Memorial Day weekend! I love the parties, the baseball games, the Indy 500, the feeling that summer is here despite the fact that we somehow always manage to have crappy weather that weekend.
So far the only plans we have are on Saturday I'm going to my dad's and Sunday we're going to The Saint's brother's house for a BBQ. This means I may actually get the chance to clean my house and *gasp* relax.
I wasn't scheduled to go to my dad's this Saturday since I was up there last Saturday but, this is my brother's busiest weekend of the year. He owns a swimming pool service company and so he's crazy busy right now and I will be crazy busy the first three weeks of June. So we struck a deal. I'll take these last two Saturdays in May and the Big B (my brother) will take the first 3 Saturdays in June which means I don't have to go back to my dad's until June 25th.
It's been a challenge to take care of my dad for the last two years since his stroke but at least the Big B and I are on the same page regarding his care and able to compromise. I know he takes on more responsibility by virtue of living in the same town as my dad but, I do what I can. At least my dad is fairly self sufficient except for not being able to read or drive anymore. And if dealing with him and his health issues aren't enough to motivate me to get healthy, nothing will be.
Sox lost last night. Bummer.

Yay for three day weekends!! I'm going to the Giants game tonight. Better be better than last night. grrrr You cracked me up when you told me what your dad said about the couscous - I can't wait until I get to be old, and I can say whatever I want! And, congrats on another pound. As you know, they all add up - er, down.
