I Survived My First Baseball Game of the Season

Originally Published April 17, 2012


I just got home from my first Brewers' game of the season and it was an all around SUCCESS!

Most importantly, the Brewers' one the game in the 9th inning!

And...I survived the game ON PROGRAM!!!

Believe me, that is a victory.  All around me was a sea of nachos, beer, cheese curds, brats, beer, hot dogs, cotton candy, beer, licorice, ice cream, beer, and all sorts of other yummy smelling and looking foods.  On the beer front, I hardly ever drink - Medifasting or not - but it's MILLER Park...in Milwaukee...there is LOTS of beer consumed around here.

I finalized my plan for the game this morning.  I logged all of my meals early in the day so that I'd know exactly where I'd be for tonight.  I split my l&g a bit so that I could stretch out my meals to last later into the day.  And...it worked.  

I know, this is how it goes.  I've done this before.  Oh, I fondly remember how excited I was at my last few games of last season when I was super cozy in my seat that suddenly was much roomier than it had been all season.  The seat was still roomy and I still got through the game on plan.  

Day #2 is done.  I'm ready for Day #3.  

Bring it on!

Oh, Tuesday

Hello, Friends!

I must confess...this girl here - NOT a morning person.  I've spiked all of my daytime shakes (everything but lunch) with coffee.  Regular, fully-leaded coffee.  Hopefully, it will help me get through the day.

A few successes from the morning:

1. My jeans are honestly falling down.  I have a t-shirt tucked in and a sweater over them that is helping them stay in place.  This will be the last time I wear them...or I may try a hot-water wash and eek another wear or two out of them.  Hmm...

2. A student just stopped in my room for help during my off hour.  He made a comment about how healthy I've been lately - then told me he won't recognize me by the end of the school year.  LOVE him!!!  Guess who's getting an A???

And, it's my sincere hope that when we get back from our Winter Intersession (Jan. 17th) that he doesn't recognize me then!

3. Another student asked if I had any food.  The rest of the class laughed and said, "You know Ms. K. doesn't have any junk food.  Look at her!"

More love, more As!!!

What am I going to do over the next 3 weeks without my students around to keep my self-esteem at the ceiling???

Wishing you all a pile of victories of your own.

Have a great day!
