Back home and up a pound and DH is flabbergasted because he dropped a pound and we ate nearly the same things/diff quantity. I said I typically retain water when flying and expecting a fluctuation now anyway but hope it drops tomorrow. Great trip - I miss my brother so much. We were able to lay roses at my parents' graves on the way out of town, so it was an emotional day leaving him and I'm always a crier at the cemetery.
OneByOne - Hugs to you - that comment from your sister's friend was so uncalled for and I wish you'd asked your sister, what would make you think that is appropriate to pass on to me? What the heck? Every one of us cycles up and down where we are more attentive to things than not. I'm just now getting my interest in putting forth a more pulled-together look back after a few months of ehhh...it's summer ... She's not the fashion police and certainly fails at personal relationships. It's easy to say let it go from your mind, but those never seem to fade fully away. No one needs to tell one another to pull themselves together. It's not her right/job/business to do so. How would she receive it if you approached her on her terrible interpersonal skills in your relationship and that she needed to change completely, that she's not good enough. Hm. I doubt it would be well-received.
I thought I posted more while gone but nope. DH's folks are bringing our pooch back and DH is stopping on his way home to get gift card for them. His mom's bday is tomorrow but we've not made plans yet. I don't want to cook/bake for us - I would rather go out and then I'm not cooking with items we can't really enjoy right now. We'll see what we work out. I know DH and I are going out for my bday as a break from the 28-day plan. We're going to enjoy the salad and pizza this weekend and then continue right on the plan. My travel plans at work will make this very difficult next week. Especially on the meat/veg day. Snacks of turkey bacon, meat, would be too hard to find/prep during meeting breaks. I will have to adjust the days a bit somehow.
