Recuperating

It's Wednesday night and I am finally recuperating from the busy football weekend! Our Seahawks came to the Bay Area to take on the Niners - and the Seahawks got a much needed win!

On Saturday night, hubby and I put on the annual pre-tailgate dinner and party at the Hotel. This was also the same hotel the team was staying at - and, yes this was pre-planned!

On Sunday, we headed out to Candlestick Park at 8:30 am and we were set up by 9:00 am. We turned Section U of the parking lot into Seahawks Central. It was like being at a home game! At noon we started packing up and headed in to the game. We had 74 seats basically all together - and we were the largest group of Seahawks fans sitting together in the stands. And we were in the last rows of the stadium. With no one sitting behind us, we were able to stand the entire game.

By halftime, a lot of the Niner fans began leaving and by the 4th quarter, it was just about empty in the Stadium. More and more Seahawks fans came over our area to join us in the cheers - I think there was almost 300 of us by the end of the game! The SFPD had to stand at the bottom of the aisles so no more could come up. The players heard us as they were pointing up to our section! It was awesome!

Here is a photo that appeared in the Seattle Times online photo gallery. This was only half of us - and of course, hubby and I are in the half not pictured!

I Cheated....

....and had cookies tonight. I am in full stress mode for our Booster club event this weekend. I have been making buttons for 2 nights! I just fell into my old pattern of stress eating. I was not even really hungry - just needed a break and I headed straight to the kitchen.

Hubby and his sweet tooth bought pre-packaged cookies from the store. Argh! I am telling him to keep all of his goodies in his office - locked up. We have a shed in the backyard that looks more like a mini cottage and that is where his office is.

On Thursday evening, I see my chirpractor again. She is going to soon be testing my ph and hormone levels for "baby making".

Tomorrow is another day of work for me at the insurance office. It's interrupting my party planning....lol. I am looking forward to Friday. I am taking a vacation day - to get my hair cut and to do last minute prep before the weeked. I sure hope I have these buttons done by then!

Random Thoughts...

Ok...I should be in bed. I woke up at 7:13 am on Thursday morning and I leave for work at 7:15am!

We are still trying to nail down a guest speaker for our Seahawks booster club event next weekend. I am not sure why this is such an issue this year. After the fiasco last year (that will be another post some day) we would have hoped that our problems were solved this year with our group staying at the team hotel and having the party there. Nope!

Ok....off to bed....I think.....lol.

Mid Week Update

Hubby and I spent a our weekend up in Seattle - leaving here on Saturday and returning home on Sunday night after the Seahawks game. On Saturday night, we went with and met friends at a casino in Tacoma to listen and watch our friend's band perform in the night club there.

With my hubby being the photographer, you would think I would have a lot of photos to post but not of this weekend. And then I forget my camera...lol.

The Cleanse is still going fairly well. I am close to 15 lbs lost now. Hubby's time on it has ended though, and I can tell by the amount of frozen pasta dishes he bought today....lol. My next appointment is next week. My doctor is going to start testing my "levels' to see where my body is at hormone-wise.

My big event this weekend is the cemetery walking tour in Colma. The topic is 'Gargoyles, Foo Dogs, and More: Interesting and Unusual Memorials' - I have been waiting for this one all year! The rest of the weekend will be spent working on the details of the Sea Hawker party we are putting together next Saturday night.

My stress level is starting to rise....lol.

Weekend Update

As of this morning, I have lost a total of 12 lbs. Yesterday was an official "cleanse" day - where I mix "their" liquid with water and drink it 4 times a day. There are no shakes or real food on these days. Hubby's month of it is almost over, though. I warned him not to start bringing junk food in the house. He tends to have a sweet tooth and would sometimes bake a pan of brownies, and eat 3/4 of it.....lol.

This morning we went to Hooters in Dublin to watch the Seahawks play the NY Giants back east. I was able to eat a grilled chicken salad as my meal. We met other Seahawks fans there and even signed up new recruits to our chapter. It was quite an embarassing game - our team did not even score one touchdown.

There are 20 days left until our Pre-Tailgate party! It's kind of hard to plan for something like this when the team you are supporting is not playing too well. But....the show will go on!

We leave for Seattle next weekend to see the game vs. the Packers. Please, oh please...let the team win!

Ok....off to bed.....
