I told you Friday was the start of a crazy three weeks. I left the house yesterday morning and just got home…it’s noon Saturday. I flew in yesterday long enough to feed the cat and get some clothes for today. That was it.
Yesterday my dad, sister, nephew and I went to one of the state parks and explored then drove around the north county for a while. Then went downtown for dinner then to my brothers for dessert and some time with friends. I spent the night there last night to watch the kids this morning while the parents went to watch the start of Ironman. We have three friends (two new, one old, all staying at my brothers house) racing today. I watched the little ones so their parents could watch friends/spouses do the first portion. I just brought someone to my apartment so she could be here when her husband passes on this portion of the biking. I’ll leave the house open when I go down so they can use the bathroom and refill waters.
Dinner last night was so delicious. I had a steak sandwich with potato chips. All their side choices weren’t appealing calorie-wise, although I know I could have substituted a salad but I’ve been craving chips for a week so I splurged. They were worth every single bite. The sandwich was melt in your mouth (literally) delicious. I probably should have only eaten 1/2 but I ate it all and was super hungry so felt OK doing it. I also had dessert last night. I probably didn’t need it but it was brownies with strawberries. My nephew got a plate of strawberries and didn’t eat them so I did…he had ice cream with his and should not have eaten that because I didn’t want it but I did. I also ate a small piece of brownie. It was small but perfectly big enough for me. I also found another super yummy treat that I’ll indulge in again. Not really sure why I haven’t done this before. I LOVE chocolate covered strawberries. They had magic shell last night. So, I put magic shell on my strawberries. I’ll do that again. I don’t usually have magic shell but I do have chocolate syrup so I’ll do that. What a yummy treat.

Not too great of a day but I’m not super upset about it either.
Last night all three racers had to get on the scale and it hit me that I look forward to the day when I can discuss the scale or even get on one in front of other people without being mortified. I guess when they are racing it’s mandatory that they have a starting weight then they need an ending weight and during the day they can get pulled off for weight checks to make sure they’re healthy.
OK, I’m ready to head down to the race. I keep seeing the bikes go by and want to be down in the action.
