Yippee it’s Friday! I am already sleepy. Must drink more water today. The scale was up a pound and Momma is not happy. I ran yesterday morning, walked at lunch and mowed the lawn for 45 min last night. I am blaming it on too little water, starting ‘my friend’ and going into my exercise calories by 200. Tomorrow is a new day and begins with a 9 mile run so I am hoping to move on with that. Something told me not to get on the scale today.

So no scale till Monday! I am not worried about the weekend one little bit. I have been sticking to 1500 calories and that has been a magic number for me. A good breakfast, a good lunch and a lighter dinner and a snack or two and I get plenty to eat. I am really hoping that my body doesn't make me adjust that as I lose. Hopefully my exercise will stay high enough to keep on 1500 a day.

I am dragging my 13 year old brother home with me tonight for most of the weekend. He is such a help and he really likes coming over and helping. That way I can keep the house picked up, cook for everybody and keep one good eye on Matty B while Jalon helps Matt mulch and work in the yard. We are so blessed to have him around. He is great with the baby and always willing to lend a hand. He gets pretty excited about those twenty dollar bills here and there too… He earns it!

I am so looking forward to an extra day off!

Everyone have a safe and happy Memorial Day!
