Okay, so disappearing seems to be a theme for me these days.

My mother was in town for a week, which was nice. It’s hard to live in a city where we have no immediate family. If I could give advice to new parents, I would say to make sure that you live in a place where you have the support of family, preferably immediate.

In addition to all the help that my mother provided around the house, and with money (she purchased a bed, mattress, with linens, and curtains for The Little One; bought us groceries for a week; gave us spending money; and paid for our outings on Da Da’s (my husband) 32nd birthday on Saturday) she arrived with snacks…Lots of cookies!

The short version of this week is that between the wedding reception (with INDIAN food. Do you know how much I LOVE tandoori chicken, samosas, and nan?) the mom sanctioned snacks, and Da Da’s birthday (elaborate breakfast, lunch at Thai restaurant, movies with popcorn and soda, home cooked dinner by MAMA, and Cheesecake factory cheesecake for birthday cake!!!!!?) I am way off….

BUT

It’s all good. While I shouldn’t have taken the week off, and should have “saved” my calories for Da Da’s B-Day, I don’t feel completely spun out of control. I refuse to hate myself.
I am not letting this bad week ruin what I started….I just won’t be weighing myself anytime soon…:)

Peace,

Mjaay
