I decided since I had gained quite a bit of weight during treatment (and since I could no longer blame it on chemo or the steroids!!!) that I should try to lose some weight. Being over weight and inactive (among other things) aids in getting breast cancer....so they say. But for my own sanity I have been on weight watchers for the past 5 weeks. I am happy to report I have lost a total of 9.4 lbs. I feel better already and have given myself a healthy goal and plenty of time to do it in (a year!!) Thank goodness for mobile apps too as they can tell you everything about what goes into your mouth and if you want to eat it - or as I say "is it points worthy"? Weight watchers gives you an allocation of points for you to consume each day and if you stay within that range you lose weight. So it's pretty cut and dry and it really does work. But I sure do miss my big bowls of icecream at night!!
Tonight is Palmer's Open House for his first year in 6th grade over at Hubbard. He gets to meet his teachers and find his classrooms and locker and drop off his stuff. He has already called me three times and it's not even noon yet. He is so excited I think he might pee his pants. But that's a good thing.
