Long day at the water park

Sep 23, 2013

I am so hungry tonight! I had a good day but very busy.  I am trying hard to get into my role as stepmom... tonight, Jason is working and I'm the parental person.  I had a small fight with the youngest trying to get him to do his homework. Well, not really a fight. He just didn't think he should have to have an hour off the computer a night for his homework. He made very bad grades on his first progress report so I told him this is his consequence for those grades. He doesn't have a lot of consequences so he balked a little at first but got used to it quickly.  The oldest one's girlfriend came over for a bit and sat with Sean and helped him do his work. Love that girl!

So quick recap of my weekend... I went to a waterpark! OMG... I haven't been to one of those in a million years! I haven't wanted to go to one in a long time because I was way too embarrassed to walk around all day in a bathing suit. Also, i know there are weight limits and issues like that at those places.  But I had some passes that were already paid for and I needed to use them by this weekend. So I told my stepsons and invited the girlfriend but I had 6 passes altogether so the girlfriend's mom and brother came along too. It was all in all a fun day. The mom is very nice and fun but she is this little blond french lady who is very opinionated. She is very fit and runs all the time. I felt a bit self-conscious with her. I left my shorts on the whole time. 

I was able to go on all the rides but there was one ride that was a two person ride and you had to be a combined weight of 400 lbs to ride it... and they will WEIGH you at the top! OMG! So I told Sophie I was 230 and she said she is 124, so we were good. If I were with my husband, we wouldn't have been able to ride together.  That made me kinda sad.  We got to the top and there was this discreet scale that put us on and it really wasn't that embarrassing but I know that if I had been smaller, they wouldn't have made us weigh. It definitely wasn't Sophie they were worried about throwing off the numbers. Ugh! So yea, kind of an exhausting day because I felt really big again. Lately, I feel so small compared to my old self.. but this day my insecurities and my body issues came roaring back.

I did well with food and exercise though.  I did 3.7 miles running/walking on Sunday in about 50 minutes.  I am going to have to do that a few more times before the 5k fun run on October 5th. I'm excited to do the Bubble run with my husband and hope I can run at least half of it. Here's to a great week!
