Today was a not so happy Navy day!
Ok to completely change topics (this should be a seperate post)....
Have a Happy Navy Day!!
So, Kevin was in PA visiting his sick Grammy for a week and we missed him terribly. We picked him up from the airport last night around 10:00. Kaylee and Lily both fell asleep in the car before we even made it to the airport. His ship is currently underway and has been for the last week. They still have another week to go. So of course they wanted to fly him out to meet the ship so he didn't miss any more work. Lots to be done so close to deployment! I was hoping we would have atleast 1 day together before they flew him out but knew there was a slim chance of that happening! Last night when we went to bed he still hadn't heard anything as to when he was heading out. This morning they emailed him and told him there were no flight ops today and that a chopper would take him out on Wednesday. We were SO excited! Woohoo!!! A whole day together! The possibilities seemed endless! Doesn't that sound so silly? The only good thing about him being away is that it gives me the opportunity to miss him and be so thankful for the time we do have together. I also wanted to squeeze in a trip to the nail salon to get a pedicure (much needed, trust me!). So we picked up a few things at Walmart (geez we seem so lame!! lol) and then it was time to pick up Kaylee from school. We decided we were going to take her out to lunch afterwards. So, we are waiting for her to finish up in class when Kevin gets the phone call. I always dread him getting phone calls. I'm always afraid someone is going to call him away from us. And that is exactly what they did. They told him to be at the flight terminal on base at 15:00. Ahh! That left us 2 hours! So now everyone was stressed out and rushed for time. I hate that we were so excited and then it was taken away. I guess I should just be thankful for the time we do get to spend together and not dwell on the time we don't get to spend together. I am so thankful that Kaylee always seems to be so understanding of what is going on. She gets the fact that Daddy sleeps on the ship sometimes and they go out into the middle of the ocean to train. She understands that Daddy leaves a lot but always comes home to us. But what scares me is the deployment. How is she going to handle it? It just breaks my heart a little, ya know? She is and has always been Daddy's Little Girl. Those two are best buds. It is going to really hurt to see the pain in her eyes when he doesn't come home for months. I am trying not to have a pity party for myself tonight but hell, sometimes I girl has got to just cry and feel sorry for myself and that is exactly what I am going to do tonight. No shame! But tomorrow is a new day and we must go on with our lives.
I love us <3
Us being silly :)
As if my day wasn't crappy enough, today is TUESDAY and ya know what that means?? No? It is Weight Watcher meeting day! Once upon a time I would be SOOO excited for Tuesday nights to see how all of my hard work paid off. But lately, not so much. I have been indulging a little too much in fast food, chocolate, late night binging..... It's HORRIBLE and has gotten out of hand. I have definitely been doing a lot of emotional eating, which i hate! And I wish I could just STOP! I guess i feel like it is my outlet. Like, the whole day I am surrounded by kids talking, asking questions, pulling, climbing, jumping on me....and at the end of the night when they are both in bed, I somehow feel it is a free for all.
So, last week I LOST 2 pounds. No idea how that happened. Not I am convinced it must have been a mistake. Or maybe I just peed a lot before the meeting lol.
This week, GAINED 3 pounds!?!? 3 pounds?!?!?! Holy shmowly! Reality check! I need to get back on track, back to the place where i could taste the success. I really love love love Weight Watchers. I love how it feels like a game to track your daily points plus. I love how you never really feel deprived. There is no forbidden food. Everything in moderation. It's a great program and it WORKS!! This week was the worst i've done since I started last November. Most weeks, even when i feel like I am going to really tip the scale, I end up doing way better than i anticipated because the program is so engraved into my head now. Even when I am not tracking my points on paper, I guess I do some mental tracking. I really do NOT want to spend this deployment trying to lose weight. I want to go into this deployment in the best shape of my life, I want to spend this deployment scoping out all of what San Diego has to offer so that I can share it with my husband when he returns. I want to be in great shape so I can be a better, more alert, more active, more motivated Mommy. So, I think I will start posting about my weight loss journey on Tuesday nights after meeting. I will share recipes, work outs I am doing (hopefully there will be some! HA!), etc.
Hope everyone had a better day than I had....hey, I know it could always be worse! Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Goodbye again :(
