Each year, the last weekend of June (well, really from that Wednesday through Sunday) my two friends, Michelle and Jen, we get together. All of our kids (and between us, that's 8 kids) are all left with the husbands and or grandparents. We get together at my house and we do nothing but swim, soak up the sun, gossip, shop and eat. This has been such a blessing to me each year. The chance to guilt free send my children to grandma's house and get the much deserved mommy break that I need!
I was a little worried about this particular visit in regards to me eating and losing weight. I decided not to stress about it and just eat. Not out of control, but a stickler either. I ended up losing just over 4lbs over the 5 days that my girlfriends were here. That just blows my mind. We ate at Outback one night, then Miyako another night (Japanese Steakhouse) and some home made things. I was shocked! I thought for sure I would gain, but I didn't. Either way, I'm still happy. I think it's good to shake things up every now and then and keep your body guessing. While I don't have another "Shake Up" in the plan, I will remember this when I hit a plateau.
Or is it that my kids were at Grandma's for 5 days and I wasn't stressed? LOL!!
Only time will tell.
