This is homecoming week at school and today is Weird and Wacky dress day. Nothing is supposed to match. That should make it easy to get dressed this morning. I’ll just take a bright floral pair of pants and a different bright, patterned blouse and jacket. I’ll baby my ankle today with a neon green flip flop and a neon orange flip flop. Easy enough. Just don’t want to stop at the store on the way home.

I’ve got about ten minutes until I have to get my shower. Blog or spa? Blog or Spa….. Later!

6:00 a.m. - Whoo Hooo! So far I have a perfect day! Been up for an hour and I’m hangin in there. Mr. Scale says I’m at 168 and he’s groaning and giving me “the look” 0.0 Everytime I go in the bathroom, I see those big round eyes staring at me. Gotta get dressed. At least the Nazi can’t say I don’t show school spirit when she does my observation this morning.

11:30 - Still hangin tough! Nazi has done her thing and left. She’ll write up her observations and call me in to review it with me at some point. I’m not going to lose any sleep about it. She DID NOT dress up for Weird and Wacky day. Imagine that. All the other APs and counselors did but she’s wearing a taupe suit and brown flats. Ugghhh…

4:00 p.m. - Home from work. Only put in an extra hour and a half today. Phyllisann got me. She was supposed to do a Learning Team thing and ordered cookies. Then she got tied up and begged me to go pick them up for her. In my hot pink flowered jacket, my black, yellow, and brown blouse, and my orange paisley pants. Oh, also my green flip flop and yellow flip flop. Thank God the Subway was not far from the parking lot. I’ve done great today. Ate my yogurt for breakfast and an LC for lunch. Passed up the cookies and now I’m heading upstairs to workout. Not much more…another 6 hours or so to a perfect day.

5:45 - Just finished a butt-kickin workout. Still on track…what can I find for dinner? DH went by a Sub Shop and brought me a Chicago Beef Sub with Provolone and au jus. Jerk! Now he gets two of them. I suspect that’s what he had in mind…

6:15 - Damn! They’re ganging up on me! The twins wanted pizza and DH ordered it for them so they’re munching down on pizza and there’s way too much so it’s sitting there on the counter smelling wonderful. Be Strong, Patty! I’ve got some tilapia thawing in a sink full of cold water and I’ve got a big bowl of frozen fruit thawing. I’m going to try a recipe called “healthy ‘Fried’ Tiliapia” that promises a crunchy, crispy tiliapia filet without all the fat of deep frying! I’m starving!

9:45 - If you want crunchy, crispy, fried fish, fry it.  The recipe broke its promise.  Anyway, I ate it.  Along with some steamed green beans and fruit.  Perfect day!  I did it!  Now, I’m heading to bed.
