All considering it, isn't so bad

I’ve been working really long days lately and don’t see it winding down too soon. I’m going to have to set aside some time at night to keep you posted on my progress.

While we stayed at this beautiful hotel for two days I gained one pound. I weighed in yesterday at 162. I’m relieved it wasn’t worse considering how I ate.

I indulged like crazy eating things I don’t normally, like eggs and cheese. With the breakfast buffet at $30 per person I felt like I needed to get my moneys worth. To their credit they had a lot of fancy meat items which could account for the cost. Because we don’t eat meat we had to deplete them of all things vegetarian. I think my husband had nine Belgian waffles. I had two and nibbled my daughter’s two. The Belgian waffle handler became our best friend and completely cracked up at us. That could be because of the explanation I gave for the overloaded plates that I had tiered and balancing down the length of both arms. I used to be a waitress so I’m great at that. I told him that my kids were very hungry. He nodded in agreement and said he had kids of his own. I figured that he was trapped behind the buffet table and would never be any the wiser. Of course as my luck would have it we ran into him leaving the restaurant. He said a warm good bye to us (because now we’re great friends considering the time we spent at his buffet station) and had an amused expression as he veered around looking for our “Brady Bunch”.

The weekend was really great and this time we dressed for the occasion, brought real luggage, and had a nice car. We didn’t feel like the Griswalds on vacation like we did last time
