Since returning home from our trip to Massachusetts to visit my brother, his wife, and my nephew, Ethan really seems to have gotten into his groove. He seems much happier since we came home, and he giggles more regularly now. He is back on a schedule in terms of eating and sleeping, and boy does that make a huge difference in his mood! I'll enjoy it because the teething monster could creep back into the picture at any moment!
I weighed in at Weight Watchers before leaving on the trip and I was down 2.6 pounds. I was absolutely elated! Until...I went away and ate pizza, Chinese food, ice cream, and cake! UGGH..I am now up 3 pounds. I have got to work really hard to take that off. I can't believe I lost all that willpower and ate so many unhealthy things. Now it will set me back 2 weeks or so. *Sigh* But what are you gonna do? Just get back on the wagon and start again. Today is a new day.
My parents are coming to visit this weekend from Florida. I am so looking forward to that. Still no word on their house or on a job for my Dad. We're all still in limbo. It breaks my heart to hear how depressed and hopeless they sound, and with the recent hurricanes out in the Caribbean, they have been even more worried about how the rest of hurricane season is going to play out. I pray that God's plan will soon become clear to them, and that they can find some peace in the meantime.
Today I am so incredibly thankful that Sara and Nate will soon be bringing home their precious little boys! They are so deserving of the happiness that the boys will bring into their home, and I can't wait to meet them!

Laura- I'm glad that Ethan is back on his normal schedule. It's amazing to watch how things will throw my nephew off.
You are doing so well with WW. Losing and gaining are both part of the process. You and your body both are going through changes. There were a few things that I had to learn as well. The first thing was that sometimes you just have to make it through and start a new week. Vacations, parties, etc make those times. The other is that we're learning a new way to eat-a new relationship with food. It takes time. I still have bad moments, but on my own, I've gotten back to and maintained the lowest weight I acheived on ww (without a meeting in over a year). But it took me a long time to think that way.
HUGS to you. It's not an easy battle, but you're winning each day.
Lots of love and support,
Lindsay
Hi Laura,
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you--even though I have not been the best of friends lately. I am so busy I can barely breath. I practically jump out of bed every morning by 6 a.m. and start my day. What with vacation bible school this week, a recent article assignment, my thesis due, graduate school registration waiting on payment, immunization appointments to make, a dentis appointment, and eye appointment and bloodwork for Nate, applying for grants, getting our visas together, working out all the health insurance stuff with the kids...um, I won't continue. LOL.
ANYWAY, I am thinking about you. I know the weight struggle is so difficult and can be downright depressing. But I'm glad you can try to just start a new week. How is this week going by the way? And did your parents visit, or are they visiting this coming weekend?
Sara
