I dragged my feet walking to the scale today, imaginary funeral dirge music playing in my head. Honestly, if not for you guys, I would have found an excuse to avoid it. I didn’t have a great week. We had my stress, the teen’s midterms/finals stress, my husband’s medical check-up stress and an overall joint ohmigod, this college stuff is hard stress.

And I’m 1.8 pounds heavier. *facepalm* I’m not going to tell you how many times I was in the McDonald’s drive-thru this week.But I’m actually approaching going back up into another decade, so I need to stop.
