June 6 2010 Diet Blog

Hi You guys! Sorry the weigh in post is a day late but it's been a whirlwind weekend. The weight stayed exactly the same for which I am eternally grateful to the powers that be because I had too many cheat days to count. I need to get back on track. It's been very difficult to move forward because the "holidays" or when I need to cheat are too close together. Mothers Day, Hubby's birthday, my birthday, now father's day...it's too closely knit and there's no way to maintain the regimen I've set. The several weeks in between days works for me though, with totally strict behavior in between. I'll of course, as always keep you informed.
Friday I left work to get my nails done. It was such a hot, hot day. Summer is here with a vengeance! (Be careful what you ask for as they say...) On the way I got a phone call about my book signing on June 11th in Cape May NJ. There will be 180 students there and the book is selling well. "Another box arrived," she said happily. I maintained composure but really I wanted to leap around like a fool yelling "go me! Go me!"
On Saturday I got my hair permed in the morning. The color will get done in two weeks. The perm looks okay. It's not what I expected but I didn't hate it. I'll like it even better with color I think. Right now its virtually all white. I look older. My husband was right about the keeping it red thing. Anyway- after that I went to the swim club- yup MY Favorite place speaking body wise as you know. Still it was a lovely and serene setting to enjoy the afternoon in. Later I went to karaoke with my Bff from Wanaque. Blairstown Bff couldn't make it but my husband came which was completely unusual. We had dinner and then Wanaque Bff joined us. My karaoke buddy's girlfriend couldn't get over my appearance! She complimented me over and over and told me I was "sexy." Wow....We had a fun evening but I couldn't carry a tune to save my life. No one minded. They sang Happy Birthday UG! I got through it. UG!
Sunday morning I found a ton of Happy Birthday posts and requests from friends to do book signings in towns near them. I'm ALL IN! I told them to get me listings of local libraries and book stores and I'd write letters and we'd see. Life feels so good right now. I hope it gets better and better in this area. I'm going to the swim club again with sista girl and my niece and nephew. Then I'm going to a place called P.F. Changs for dinner with my Best BFF and company. It should finish the weekend off with a bang!
I hope that you are all doing as well. If not start again right now! Even if it's the middle of your day, begin anyway. I'm here with you. I still have quite a way to go too. In the meantime remember that you look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having a good time! Stay positive! See you next blog! ;-)
