Sexless in the Burbs

So after 3 failed attempts with 3 different friends, I resigned myself to the fact that I would not be among the first to see the big Sex in the City premiere this weekend. In my pre-op life, I would have been the one organizing a big girls night out- complete with dinner and cosmos all around before and after the flick.
So the thought of going and sipping my lame protein drink and going directly home after was depressing enough...especially with all the hoopla and fancy parties and red carpet events going on in Boston to celebrate the movie. My friend Kathy (the Cougar) was going with her sister and a group of girls and I was so jealous. I helped her pick out a few things to order on the Elephant Walk menu and was longing for the Loc Lac of my yesteryears.

To add insult to injury, I have not lost a single pound since my doc visit on Tuesday. I am really freaking out about it. How can you possibly be on a freaking liquid diet with about 300 calories a day and not lose weight? I called Louise on Friday in a panic and she told me it was normal and to stop weighing myself everyday. Ya right. Let me tell you, if I did all this to lose 35 pounds I am going to jump off a bridge. That god damn scale better start moving or else.

It's been a rough week, Nick had some night terrors and it was awful. He was up screaming for an hour 2 nights this week...it was really scary because he was flipping out but he wasn't full awake and we could not console him.

On the upside, we went to Davis Farmland yesterday with Aunt Aly and the boys and we all had a great time. Poor Nick was afraid of the animals but he loved the sprinkler park and playgrounds. It was a long day....he took a late nap on the way home so we took him bowling for the first time last night too. He was so darn cute in his little bowling shoes! Cracked me up! We went to Lanes and Games in Cambridge and i was so psyched because it was totally empty. We had the whole place to ourselves. Strange on a Friday night I thought but the guy told me it was pretty normal in the summer. Nick did a really good job- he has a mean diaper shot and they had bumper lanes too. After a few strings he was much more interested in the vending machines and video games...but we had a good time.

I was really hungry yesterday, and I dont think it was head hunger. I tried to drink as much as i could because it was hot and we were out in the sun all day but i just couldnt quench my thirst. I realized my drink has 40 mg of caffeine in it so that's not good- I just wasnt thinking and it hit me yesterday. So i am gonna try and trade my iced teas in for green tea today. I dont need the caffeing dehydrating me.
Overall I feel pretty good...but I am really bummed out about this plateau. I know they happen down the road, but in this stage? Come on. The only thing keeping me going was the rapid weight loss...it's tough to stay upbeat and drink this crap when I'm not even getting any results. Quite frankly I am pissed off. At least the Celtics clinched.

In honor of the movie that I hope to see one day- here is a thought for the day courtesy of Carrie Bradshaw:

“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”
