August 27

This has been a very big week, with Griff's school starting, Curtis gone 3 days, and his sister passing away on Tuesday. We have not made it out to exercise. But I did sign up with Weight Watchers online again and I've been counting points. For a lark I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down another 1.5 pounds. So curtis stepped on, and he's down some 4 pounds. And Griff was actually up a bit and came back down. So this week of not working out maybe was a good thing. I want to talk to the boys a bit out the points before we leave for the funeral in South Carolina on Saturday. They will be by themselves for 5 days under the care of friends. Usually I bought them frozen breakfasts, but this time they will just have cereal. The frozen biscuits with sausage and egg or the breakfast burritos are so very very full of calories. I think they'll have a good chance of being down more pounds next week even without the workouts. Tho Josh will still have his.
I talked with my doctor this morning, annual check up, and she was saying that this very morning is an article in the paper about more success with eating less than exercise. She also cited her experience with women who have gastric bypass who would loose mass amounts of weight from eating so much less, and not exercising at all.
Still, exercising is for my head and my head rules my body, so I will continue this path. It is indeed a good thing. Good habit for Griff and Josh.
Josh will be done with football come November, and he will benefit from going to the gym with Griff and I.
So all is well tho I don't know how much I'll write in the next week. Dr. also thought it was cool because "maybe it can become a book." :-)
