Overweight is such a Bother!

What a time I have had for the past several days, ever since we returned from our trip to the beach, actually. We experienced another death in our church family on Thursday, meeting that night, wake on Saturday night, funeral Sunday and baby sitting today. I enjoyed having my little granddaughter here today while Kendra had things to do. Livvy was quite entertaining: writing; adding and subtracting (pretending to add and subtract, that is); and, eating. That child loves to eat and will eat almost anything. Her mom said she could only have healthy snacks and that is all she ever asked for. She ate cantelope, a banana, and fresh pineapple. For lunch, she only wanted a salad. She tickled me asking for her snack; when she spotted the bananas, she said, "Well, I think a banana would be a great snack, don't you? A banana will be just fine." She was a great little girl. Tomorrow, I will have both of them while their mommy goes to work.

I'm planning to try another weight management routine in a few days. Yes, I will try to stick to Weight Watchers too but I will be trying a new program also. I will have to make a stronger effort to exercise though. It looks like I may have to start going to Curves in the evening since I seem to be tied up during the day, at least this week.

My brother came down tonight and we discussed our siblings' trip which is coming up Saturday. He, my 2 sisters, and I will be heading to the beach for 6 days. I'm looking forward to that outing because we always have a grand time. There's not too much serious stuff happening those days. My sister who lost her husband last year really needs this trip. I try to visit her at least every other week and we go out to eat, shop, and one day, we even took in a movie. We hope to continue doing these things; however, if I go on this program, I will have to be even more careful with my dining out. Being overweight is such a bother! I wish I could do as I did when I was young: I ate anything I wanted at any time of the day or night and I never weighed over 100 pounds! It really stresses me to even think about this, so I'm going to get me a Schwan's 50-calorie fudge pop and satisfy my chocolate urge.
