Virginia Science Museum- thats where the kids and I are headed this morning. Its cheaper and more educational than Busch Gardens (closer too). Joe will not be joining us, for reasons only known to him, but I'm not bitter.....nah. Hehe. Actually it will probably be alot less stressful without him. So we leave around 10 am, I'll take lots of pictures.
Child #1 has been taking Riperadol for a month now. He's taken it before, I think 3 years ago, for aggression problems. Well, it would seem that he's starting to have the same reaction he had last time. He's getting FAT. He eats like a damn horse and I tried to get his largest shorts on this morning and can just barely do them up. The problem is, the meds have worked and he isnt having bad behaviors at school anymore. So I take him off the meds and he stops gaining but he starts hurting people again? Not much of a choice. I'm waiting till our next appt with the doc on June 10th and I'll let him make the call.
Yesterday I had a taco salad from Taco Bell. It was enormous (for me) and I managed to eat it all (without dying). I did it without thinking. I mean I was eating and then I stopped when I was full but it was still sitting in front of me so I PICKED and PICKED. Uh, before I knew it, it was gone. Oooooops. So I felt guilty. When we worked out last night I went hogwild. 40 minutes on the Ellip (resistance on 7) then 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 and finally 30 minutes of swimming. I felt good, so good that I celebrated with a Latte. HA!
Seriously, I'm not happy at this weight. Joe thinks I'm insane when I say I want to lose abit more but its true. I figure that 5-7 pounds will put me where I want to be permanantly. I dont know what it is but I feel fat. Its probably because of the loose skin. I'm going to set up a plan for June 1-June 13th to maximize my potential for this weight loss. I'll be out of school, the kids will still be in so I'll have the opprotunity to spend lots of time at the gym. I'll post my full plan once I have it laid out, I'll feel more accountable if you guys know it too.
Breakfast: 100 cal bagel/2 TBsp peanut butter, 1/2 grapfruit
Ok, thats it for now. Tata.
5:55 pm
We made it back. Wheeeee! Here are some pics.
One of those floating stone thingees as we walked up to the entrance. Child #1 tried to drink from it.....I mean, cmon, it kinda looks like a water fountain yeah?
Child #2 decapitated (with Child#1 peering in from behind like a serial killer, hehe)
They really have no idea what theyre looking for.
In the space capsule.
Another floating stone, on the way out. This one didnt resemble a water fountain, more like a wading pool......hence we had wet shoes before leaving.
It was fun. We sat through a 45 minute IMAX called Sea Monsters which was good. I was so glad to have the Garmin in the car or I would have been hella lost. Richmond is like 4 million one way streets bi-sected by a trillion traffic lights (of which I accidently ran 2, ooops) We got home by 3pm.
Tonight I relax. Only one child at home and Joe at work. Ahhhhhhhhhh.
