We spent the weekend at the cabin, there where 13 of us plus baby Rosie, it felt like I was a kid again. We spent all day Saturday in the lake and EVERYONE (except my Dad and I) burned!!! We had to explain about 13 times why we were not bright red like everyone else, "We don't burn"!!!Food wise I wasn't really tracking but I was being very cautious of how much I put in my mouth. I didn't snack in between meals and every meal I had was small since the heat was making me feel full.
Sunday we got up and went walking right away in the morning and spent the rest of the day either swimming or cleaning up the cabin. I think we took off from there around 4 and finally made it back home at about 8:30 p.m. I am so exhausted and I wish I still had the energy I did when I was 8! This week is going to be extremely busy at work and I am working long hours again. I packed several baggies with veggies and fruits to help keep me satisfied the whole day. If the weather stays clear we will skate tonight.
Some other good news... my Dad has been following the South Beach Diet for about a month now and has lost over 20 lbs!!!! He was diagnosed with Diabetes in May and changed his diet and exercise to keep it in control. He started cooking more and immediately noticed a difference in the way he felt. My Dad is so excited about his results this far, and I am also very proud of him so I wanted to give him a shout out!! Go DAD, I am very proud of you!!!
Alright, I'll be back later!

Okay...I don't like you--you don't burn?!?!!? :) (Totally kidding, by the way!) My SCALP is burnt from staining a swing set this weekend. It hurts to brush my hair! That's the only place that hurts and I even put sunscreen on my scalp.
YAY for your dad!!! I soooo wish my mom would change her eating habits and lose weight--then I wouldn't feel like the outkast! Your dad has done great!!! That's awesome for him!!!
Oh and to take your own food to sporting events?!?! Kudos to you!!! I've just started packing the 2nd purse so that's a HUGE step for me! I couldn't take stuff in to Red Robin. I love that place. Can't wait to try the turkey burger next time. :)
Sounds like you're having a great time. Congrats for your dad! My dad lost a ton of weight, also due to a diabetes diagnosis 2 years ago, and he helped motivate me to get started now. Don't overwork yourself this week :)
GIRL YOU ROCK!! Your definately an orginizer type of person which means SUCCESS!!
Sounds like you had a great time at the cabin and a wonderful time with your family as well.
Isn't it wonderful to see your dad do something proactive for himself and I know you are super proud of him too! Just goes to show you anyone can lose weight...you just have to put your mind to it!!
