Day 267 - The long drive home

So we got up early to come home and I thought there would be no problem with traffic, but no it was a mess.  Going up to GV takes about 2.5-3.0 hours depending on traffic, we left at 9:30 and got home at 2:00.  At least I wasn't driving.

We passed what looked like an accident - but when I got by the truck I saw this guy in the car not moving and the guy behind was trying to do something for him.  I think he had a heart attack, but I couldn't really tell.

We got home and I immediately weighed myself on all the scales because it was weigh in day and I totally freaked out - I hadn't eaten at all and I had gained three pounds.  So I rushed downstairs and did the ellipitcal hard.  That has always been good for a few pounds, but when I finished and weighed myself it still showed two pounds up.  I have never gained weight before, and I was absolutely beside myself.  But there was nothing I could do.

So yes I gained weight this week.  And now I have little T - ARGH!!!

  1. It actually was 2:15 when we got home - 4.75 hours! I was driving - yucchhhh!!!

    Ah, T3 - the eternal optimist. I looked carefully at the guy in the car to include making eye contact with the person who was trying to help. Unfortunately, the guy in the car with the heart attack was toast. His eyes were open & unblinking but he wasn't moving to include no chest movement - a pretty clear sign that it's "RIP" time. That made me decide to keep my blood pressure down since the heart attack guy clearly had a poorer day than we did.

    I try to avoid being on the highway on holidays, but we all got faked out by the Tuesday traffic. It took about the same time on Friday, 7/1/11 to get up to GV, so lots of driving.

    T3 did frantically exercise - I'm glad we don't have a sauna since she would probably have turned it up so high that she'd melt.

    I think the gain was mainly water & soy sauce induced retention. It was hot in GV
