Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Maintaining lost weight is hard. Pick your hard.

Today I picked: losing with exercise + being fat with food = maintaining?

Or more likely being fat, because I tend to eat more calories with the food than I could possibly burn off with the exercise. Usual breakfast, delicious coffee in the new coffee maker. Ran to Costco to pick up a couple things and Mike called asking about lunch. So I got one of their super size pizzas to take home. I had two pieces, which is somewhere between too much and way too much, but it was good. I wasn't hungry before we left for the indoor waterpark, so I didn't eat. I was a little hungry when we left, but the kids claimed there were starving so we went to Chick-Fil-A. I got a fried chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon and then slathered on bbq sauce and mayo. Finished with fries and a Coke.

Starting to see the "but it was good" pattern repeated a little to often on here. Something to ponder...

Had a great workout. Almost bailed, probably would have if Mike hadn't commented that I would. Nothing like someone assuming that I won't do something to make me want to do it lol. Wonder if that was his endgame? Probably not, he doesn't play games. So I got on the elliptical and cranked my new Ke$ha song. It put me in the right mood. I worked harder than I'd planned on for my half hour and then felt like running. So I did a quick half mile on the treadmill staring at 5.5 and working up to 7.0, so I ended up doing a 4:30 half mile and calling it a night. Felt really good.

Took the kids to an indoor waterpark and had a good time. Took some time for Spencer to get into the bigger play area, whereas Rachel couldn't wait to try it out. In the end we ended up doing several laps in the lazy river and spending lots of time in the younger kids section. But hey, they are still younger kids. It's ironic that I so often wish they would stay little, while forgetting that they still are. But I digress... They had a great time and it seemed to even snap Mike out of his funk for a bit.

Tired now, might have another cup of tea and call it a night. Good night.
