Tonight is the Band Awards Ceremony at the High School. The Boy is in band, so off we go. This is a perilous situation for me, last year I actually fled from the event in fear. What is so scary about band awards you ask? It isn't the awards themselves that are frightening, it's the "reception" afterward. You see it's a DESSERT BUFFET!!
Last year, I was newly diagnosed with Diabetes and so the fleeing actually made sense. I had not yet gained much self control and thought deserting the field (pardon the pun) was a much better course of action, than hanging around and being tempted by all the yummies!
This year, I'm stronger, but I'm not sure if I'm that strong. . . . .
After all, I stepped on the scale this morning and I was up a pound! I hate that so much! So I'm swinging into full countermeasures: tighter portion control, more walking (please Mother Nature, let me get out there and walk!), and I need to be very, very careful what I am eating at night! It's easy to slip, and every little slip seems to show on the scale. It is so critically important to me that I do this, and do this correctly.
Can I really face a room full of cakes, cookies, pies and ice cream? We'll see. I promise an additional post this evening to let you all know what happened!
On another note, I have had many requests for new photos. I will be posting updated photos after the 5K on Sunday. A friend is bringing his camera to record the event for us and he has gotten to be a very good photographer!
Until tonight, wish me luck!
