This past week was tech week, also known as ”hell week” for my daughter’s production of Dracula at her school. This meant I spent many hours at the school or many hours preparing food or taking photos at the school. Some days I only ate two meals, but they were often things provided in pot luck, like mac and cheese and other pastas, all of which I love and ate. I did eat fruit and salad too though! And I did have my fair share of diet soda. Soda is something I rarely drink – but alas not this past week, in fact today I had a rootbeer!
I started out recording the week, then as the week got busier I got more strapped for time and did less planning and more eating on the fly. I don’t think I did great, but I didn’t stuff myself. I simply ate until I wasn’t hungry. Well, unless you count the cast party. I only had the tiniest amount of food that day, but that night I had all sorts of things, including a delicious homemade barbecue sandwich and two brownies. I wouldn’t say I overdid it at any point during the week other than the party. However, I only journaled the first few days of this past week. Now that the show is closed I hope to really get in the full swing of exercise again, I am actually really itching to do it, so I’m not worried about feeling motivated. I’m feeling plenty motivated, just lacking in time!
Here is a photo of Jade that Will took as one of Dracula’s brides. It was pretty cool when she slunk up out of the trap door in the stage.
Tomorrow is weigh-in and I will weigh. I probably will do a video-log too. I’m super tired right now and I need to go rest, but I wanted you to know where I am.
I also wanted to let you know that I posted a blog about the workshop related to body image that I did at an elementary school in Silver Spring this past week. I loved it and hope to be invited to do more.

Let me tell you how tired Heather is:
She’s got her head down on her keyboard after finishing this post.
She said, “The benedryl’s kicking in. I just have to finish these posts.”
I said, “Heather, are you putting your head down?”
(pause) “No.”
“Are you sleeping?”
(sleepy giggle)
I’m up! I’m up! Of course I have been to bed since you wrote that – silly goose.
I have lots to do today so I have to chop chop! I hope to have some kind of free time tonight to just veg out.
I also hope to get through the day actually journaling and keeping track of things and maybe even doing some actual exercise.
Congrats!! on your Body Image workshop with the elementary school kids (over at Body Politics)…IT WAS AWESOME…glad you are achieving SO MUCH (and all at the same time!!)…
