Saturday morning dawned with a beautiful sunrise shining through wisps of fog. Beautiful outside - inside though is a daughter with 4 weeks left of pregnancy going through tough times. At 5 ft 1 inches she normally weighs 112. That 112 is muscle from running, alot, so she is tiny. She only gained 30 pounds but it is stressing her body to the max. And as her husband works long hours she is alone often. He left for work about 7 this morning. Neither of them got any sleep due to her muscle and body pains, cramps, etc. The one thing I bring this daughter (who adores her father and often can only tolerate me) is that I can help her relax. As soon as her husband left for work she laid on the couch with her head in my lap and I stroked her face and hair for two hours. She slept. Kids...no matter what they put you through, you'd do anything to make their world better....
So I will head home tonight but will return her in a couple of weeks to help her through the last weeks of her pregnancy and then during first weeks of motherhood.
Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. It has been a week since last visit to the scale. I think I have done a good job while up here so I am hopeful for a 1 pound (or more!) loss. But as I have been less active as (except for my running) I have been on daughter's schedule. And working with her kitchen and cravings. On Friday nights they order pizza and wings. I have not had pizza in forever! But I did eat one slice of Papa John's small sausage pizza and one wing. Dinner was under 300 calories...and I left the table so that I would not have any more than that. So, tomorrow, weigh in.... we shall see.
