August 9, weigh in

As a family we are down 10 pounds!!!

This week:

Griff: down 2.5

Dea: down 2

Josh: down 1.5

Curtis: down .5 from start

I'm down 2! I'm so freaking happy! I've worked my tail off for 2 weeks and I was feeling pissy about it not being enough. Having dinner so late is really tough. tho I've been making them lighter, and I do think that helps.

Friday Josh had a bad case of the runs so did not go to football practice. I remember the first time my body did bad things. He was embarrassed and a bit horrified. Called me in, sweat running down his face, he was shaky and weak he said. Poor love.

Steve said if it went through him in the same day, it was heat exhaustion and dehydration (he played sports in school, too). if it hung on for a couple of days, then it was food poisoning. It was pretty much through his system by mid afternoon. He guzzled gatorade and ate the bland food they say to eat.

Curtis came home that day, too. Griff he and I did the Crocker Park Trail walk, that is the name of the trail that goes around the business park in our city. It starts a half-mile from our front door. We did 3 miles. Curtis was laboring for the first 20 minutes. It worried me...but he did loosen up, was breathing easier and started talking and laughing. It is a slight grade uphill on the way over, as it was made on top of the old railroad tracks. You don't really realize you are walking uphill until you get to the top, turn around, and feel how much easier it is to walk back.

Curtis had a dinner that night and I went with him....the San Mateo Union Council Awards Dinner. CTA had purchased a table, so we were "AIC" guests: Ass in chair.

Josh had football practice yesterday and he did feel well enough to go.

Lunch

Grilled salmon

pasta tossed with sour cream, salt and pepper

green beans and carrots

Dinner

chicken fajitas

red and yellow peppers, walla walla sweet onions that curtis found at Costco, broccoli, and chicken.

I know you don't usually cook broccoli with fajitas, but I didn't have any green peppers and it needed the green and my boys like broccoli, so why not?
