Good Days, Old Conversations

Jeez, I had such a wonderful day today. I got up at 7:30am, leisurely got ready to go into work to spend some time there. I am on vacation, but I am totally using this time to catch up on/get ahead on some much needed work in my classroom. I stayed there for almost 5 hours, and did things I almost never get to do. I came home cleaned my house, went for such a nice walk with my momma! She is one amazing lady! I came back and did some more cleaning...having time to do stuff like that is so nice!

Lesson's I've Learned, But Need Constant Reminding On:
As I was reflecting on my week, I remembered the broadcast that I went to on Saturday. I mentioned before that I meet some really nice women, well, I also saw someone that I knew from many years ago. She was the mother of a girl that was my age when they lived in our ward.

I strongly recommend not talking to someone you haven't seen in years, especially if you've gained a significant amount of weight. Not everyone has discretion or tact. I was interested in how her daughter was doing, and thus stopped her, re-introduced myself and asked how her daughter is doing. My favorite comment ever(today) on how much weight I have gained: "Oh, Yeah! I can see you in there!" What is that? Am I wearing a mask?...Okay so I might look larger, but who says that to someone? Should I have said to her "Yeah, you know I can see you in there under all your wrinkles, anorexic skin, and idiocy too! How nice to see you again!" I've been reliving that conversation for the last two days. I wouldn't have really said anything mean to her, and in fact it took me until today to come up with any kind of snappy retort, but my feelings were hurt that someone would say something like that who hadn't seen me in years, and was a distant acquaintance at best. I will work on forgiving her, and endeavor to not let this set me back in my quest to let the old me out of "in there." I was more shocked than anything, and when someone springs stuff like that on me, I only WISH I could have those snappy retorts in place to hand right back to them...only then I really wouldn't like myself very much.
I can't stand my weight, and my inner critic is quite mean about it, but other than that, I'm my favorite person to spend time with...so far. A bit narcissistic are we?....yes!

Anyway, Jen's Food Journal:
Breakfast: Cottage Cheese, 6 bites, Protein shake, vitamins
Lunch: Green Salad with Chicken, light dressing, apple, vitamins
Dinner: Mom's Pot Roast(3oz or so), Peach, Vitamins

I did get all my water, and no cheating, no soda.

Love you all!
