Okay, so yesterday was a total “bitchy” day for me. I was feeling down. I’m not doing enough, not pushing enough, blah blah blah. Sorry for subjecting you to all of that. I look at it now as just one of those days. I feel like we all have ‘em. Today however, was quite the opposite….thank God. Lol. Saturdays are my day with my amazing 9 year-old daughter Meghan. And call me sappy…call me an old softee…but Daddy-Meggy days are the absolute best! My sarcastic little munchkin and I were up and out the door early. Meg’s school offered up tickets this week for an early presentation of the new animated film, The Croods. It was pretty cute. We laughed and had a good time….which is really all that ever matters to me in anything we do together. Not sure that sharing a small movie theater with a hundred or so screaming elementary school kids is the ideal start to a Saturday for me…but what can ya do?

​

After the movie Meg and I had a few errands to run, including lunch. Got back to my place around 4pm. And I have no idea how I pulled this off…but somehow I got my little girl to agree to go for a walk with me. Now I know that might not sound like much to you. But Meghan is old enough to know now that when daddy says a “walk,” he doesn’t mean it will be your garden variety stroll. But for whatever reason she still said yes. We walked from my house down to Meg’s elementary school and back again. All in all about a mile and a quarter…so nothing too crazy. We missed our usual Saturday morning walk around the local Ecology Center because of the movie…so at least this little walk was worth SOMETHING, ya know? Got back to my place again with just enough time to towel off and change. Our very cool neighbors from Portugal invited us out to their club for dinner with them and the kids…who Meg absolutely loves.



We had a really good time…thanks to Sandra and Eddie for inviting us! And now as  the witching hour approaches…with Meghan fast asleep after a loooong but enjoyable day of running around…I think it is time for me to head off to bed too. I was going to stay up and push myself through a quick workout to end the evening on a high note. But ya know what? Sleep is also a vital part of anyone’s weight loss journey…and that goes for me as well as anyone. I really haven’t been sleeping well at all lately….and if you’re not getting enough rest physically and emotionally then nothing else is going to work for you either. That was what I was thinking when I made the conscious choice to pass on the night’s exercise to make room for some much needed rest. Just for tonight though.…only two more days til I step on that scale again. G'nite!



Until tomorrow!
