Day 21
Weight 204 (up from 203.4 yesterday)

Flucting Fluctuations.

Yesterday was a full day. Was peeved yesterday. A speech therapist in the community decided to recommend that a set of twins I've been working with NOT attend preschool when they are three because she doesn't believe they have enough of a "developed sense of self." She actually put that in the written report too ... along with her diagnosis of "attachment concerns" ... wonder where she got her credentials as a speech therapist that qualifies her to work outside of her scope of practice as a speech pathologist? Of course there was NOTHING in the report to back up her "diagnosis" ... but most judges aren't going to read the report carefully enough to see that. They skip to the recommendations or the summary paragraph. ARGH!!!! Obviously I disagree with her. I've worked with this kids since they were born. She has worked with them for the past 6 months. I've seen the kids in multiple settings (community, foster home, biological home, the preschool yesterday!!!) she has seen them in her office. Add small town politics to this ... and well it could make you want to drink!! LOL!!!

But I didn't drink other than water last night!!! Calories were around 1600 ish I think. I'd have to go look again. I don't know why the scale went up. I have been lacking in the Pilates area for several days ... but I doubt that would impact the scale much. I do need to get back to it but one thing at a time.

I have 4 visits today so a very busy day indeed. I get to see one adorable 2 1/2 year old with curly blonde hair (speech delayed) who just week said to his mom (before I arrived) "Tarol come see me?" He and his brother were so excited when I came in the door, they shouted to greet me from the kitchen cupboard they were hiding in!!!So excited to hear a 4 word sentence from a kiddo that when I met him at over a year of age had NO WORDs and one sound "eh." It is so cute to watch him talk and form the words with his mouth, the concentration on his face, the pride in his eyes. He is one of my "typical" kids ... intact family ... simply late in talking. I love going there.

Anyway ... I'll be eating lunch on the run and won't have much office time today so I thought I would write this before I left home. Didn't mean to launch into such a long story!!! I think I needed to balance my frustration with something wonderful.

Before I take off ... let me count the ways I am grateful today ...

1. I am grateful for the wonderful dinner my husband greeted me with last night (cherokee chicken, steamed carrots, green salad) AND he did the dishes afterwards!!!!

2. I am grateful for sleeping deep enough (in between the times I woke up) to actually dream last night.

3. I am grateful for colleagues, friends, and family!!!

4. I am grateful for buddies who encourage me to maintain perspective and have stuck around here on fatsecret as long (or longer) than I have!!!

5. I am grateful for 4WD in my car.

So, yes, I continue to practice kindness towards myself ... remembering that the number on the scale is simply one measurement and one that is impacted by all sorts of things other than "gaining fat." I MUST remember to call and reserve a turkey today. I hope it is not too late. I can't believe that it is Thanksgiving next week ... this happened to me last year too ... it snuck up on me!!!

Have a wonderful day buddies ... it is likely I won't be around much today unless I have cancellations. I'm thinking of you though!!!

Take care!!
