Official first day of Game On Diet!
I grilled chicken and made a grain and veggies casserole, Kam cut up cucumbers and celery and made a big green salad first thing this morning.
I have a huge headache from my sugar withdrawal. I know that's what it is. I've usually had something sugary and yummy by now.
I'm on team #6 (I think we'll be Team Six Pack!) and Kambree on Team #4.
I'm on my 5th glass of water (I need a total of six) and have to keep running to the bathroom.
Exercise is done.
And I did get my seven hours of sleep last night.
In and effort to only be ONE hour on the computer reading blogs I've had to speed read and be real quick about checking my facebook.
We have a dress rehearsal tonight and an interview tomorrow morning in the early AM with Fox 13's Big Buda. Luckily, I'll be dressed as a pirate and I don't think too many people will recognize me. Two more rehearsals and we open! Hurray!!
Alex managed to get in trouble-big trouble Saturday night when he came home from watching a Real soccer game with his friend at ten pm, and took off on his scooter to see if another friend could play.
I know this because I had repeated text from the mom that dropped him off wondering if he was okay, and if he made it home as she witnessed him riding off. (I had left my cell phone home or I would have been a basket case at rehearsal not knowing where he was. Fortunately by the time I read the text I had confirmation that he was safe home in bed.)
Alex thought no one would be the wiser as he told me he wouldn't be home until eleven or eleven thirty. So why not go play and do whatever he wants at ten o'clock at night!!?? Luckily the friend wasn't at home and he eventually came home, found some food, took a bath and went to bed. When he arranged this night we were told he wouldn't be home until eleven or eleven thirty so I didn't worry about making sure Austin was home for him because I'm usually home from rehearsals around eleven.
I even tried to give him an out, like "Were you scared because no one was home?" Nope, he just wanted to go play. He figured I wouldn't know since I wasn't expecting him until later.
Grrr....
He is grounded from friends for the week and going to spend each and every night at rehearsals or the play with me.
How fun for him.
Right now he and Rylee are at Fear Factor Camp-a day camp. (Luckily none of his friends are there or that would make enforcing his punishment difficult.)
Sunday afternoon he laid his head against my shoulder and told me he doesn't think he'll ever learn to obey. It's just not in him...I guess.
I told him then we'll always have this kind of relationship. Me lecturing and him getting in trouble, that I will never throw my hands up in the air and say "Oh well. Alex just can't obey." Kambree backed me up by telling him "Mom will never give up on her kids." (She knows this because I still hound her about cleaning her room-which is her bad habit she's giving up on The Game! Hurray!!) I agreed with her and asked him, "Are you my kid?" To which he smiled and nodded and cuddled against my arm. "Then I'll never give up on you either."
I don't know why he's having such a tough time lately. He's normal tries really hard to be good. (Sigh)
This friend punishment is a tough one as he LOVES playing with his friends. It would have been tougher on me if it weren't for this day camp all week. Thank goodness. (And I didn't even think of it until after I had blurted out his punishment.)
Well, the house is quiet and I need to go find something to eat for meal #3. Two more meals after that and two more glasses of water. I better get them in fast so I don't miss all my cue's in the bathroom at rehearsals tonight!

3 of my blog friends said something...:
Good for you starting your game, I wish you and your team the best of luck. Go! Fight! Win!
I think it's the age. My boy is about the same age and does the same thing! He's like a magician. Then I get mad and somehow end up the bad guy. Kids!!!
I don't even dare go through and leave comments on all of your posts that I just read (how annoying would that be? :) but I wanted to drop you a line and say that I read all your posts and good luck on your diet and I can't believe you have a graduate and I'm trying to arrange my schedule so I can see you guys in Peter Pan. Okay, that's enough - loved catching up on your life - xoxo.
