Back from Pearrygin

Hello! I'm back from the lake and vacation. It was a lot of fun and it was hot but it did rain a lot more than I wanted it to. It was POURING with thunder and lightning the day we got there for set up. It sucked. We were all shivering and trying to keep the kids occupied while trying to set up tents in the rain. Ovarall though it was a nice time. Both Javen and Jaxon tried knee boarding but didn't like it. Jaxon went twice and Javen tried once. They both say they will be willing to try again next year. Jaxon also tried another new thing. He jumped off the rope swing. It was a different rope swing this year. Not as good as last years. The parks department chopped down the tree the rope was on so people wouldn't do a rope swing. Liability reasons. But that didn't stop someone from hanging another rope on another tree. But this time the rope didn't go out as far and you dropped into the weeds. Jaxon still did it twice and Javen once. I have pictures but I haven't uploaded them yet.
Anyway, as far as eating went I was definetely on vacation. It's way too easy to just get up and grab a snack. And it's too hot to have the energy to cook something really healthy. We have some Pearrygin tradition foods that we only have once a year so I lived it up and ate those foods knowing it would only be for the week. We always get costco muffins for the week there. Again, the only time we eat them all year. We always bring Juice Squeeze drinks that you just have to have at Pearrygin. And stuff like trail mix, licorice, cookies, etc. And of course trips to town for ice cream. I said I would try for one time but that one time turned in to four. But twice I had a child size serving. Does that count? So I did give in to peer pressure and went there with the whole family group and took the boys more than I thought I would. I did eat a lot more fruits and veggies than I normally do there because of my prepared bags. But I didn't eat all that I made. But I'm back to being really serious about it now. I have written down what I have eaten so far and will log my calories right after I'm done here. I will do some aerobics today as well. Probably during Owen's nap. I weighed myself this morning and I'm up three pounds. :( But hopefully that will change very soon. Oh! One more thing....Dave and I went running three times while we were in Winthrop. But we only ran three miles each time. Could have been better, but Dave didn't want to go further so I just ran with him.
Anyway, here's to a successful week!!!!
