My mom is turning 75 today. I kind of feel bad because my son and I will be at his karate tournament all day. My uncle and his wife are taking my mom to dinner and I can’t even be part of that. Plus the gift I ordered for her won’t be here until Monday! I got her a Hedwig mug and it was supposed to be here today. Being broke, I couldn’t afford much but she is a HUGE Harry Potter fan so I thought that would be perfect.
Last night was his first night at the tournament. There were a LOT of people doing it!
I hope he does well today. We have to be there from 9-5. And then we have a meeting with the Sensai about the tournament (I think) and dinner. This should be an interesting, albeit LONG, day!
Here’s some doggie love this morning as she isn’t huge ready to get up yet (neither am I really).
Today is weigh in day as well. You know, I think I don’t need to weigh in first thing in the morning anymore.
So since April. I have dropped 49 pounds. I am one pound from my 150 goal weight. That’s 2.6 pounds lost in the past week. Someone please explain how this is since I ate carbs and only exercised 3 times??? The carbs I ate where from vegetables and 100% whole wheat things but still! I’m also eating 1500 calories a day. This is why I am going to see the doctor on Tuesday. I have decided that I will weigh myself on Wednesday nights from now on. 😂
I think that catches y’all up on what’s happening here in Houston in my world. Have a great weekend! I will be trying to learn all this Anatomy before Monday morning’s test while also watching my child do karate!
Happy birthday to your mum and many happy returns🎂💕⚘. I can understand if we do not have spare funds to splurge but it is the thought that counts. Good news on your weight loss. 😊

Thank you! She’s concerned because my father passed a few months after his 75th. I keep telling her that she will live 20 more years. And yeah, I wanted to do something for her!

Your mom sounds as if she has given you a lot. I would encourage my son to do something nice and thoughtful for her. She won’t always be there for you.

Congratulations on losing so much weight. I’m about halfway to my goal now. If I lose another 30 or 40 pounds my muscles will really start to show.
And try not to beat yourself up about the complexity of life. My brother and his wife have three kids in three different sports, and live in her home town with her six brothers and sisters. I swear, I would need an AI butler to manage that life.

Gifts are never about money and more about the thought, behind the gift. You might enjoy this post on gift giving
