Game On!

Life is all about ball.  We win some, we lose some, sometimes your forced to be even Steven!  We can't always be winners, we have to lose gracefully.   My daughter is on a 2 game losing streak, she's taking it pretty well.  I let her choose, ice cream or smores.  She chose unlimited smores.  I think she ate 4!  Well if it makes life a little sweeter, why not?   Meanwhile, I am a calorie counting fool trying to obtain my prequit weight. 
My older boy, got a home run inside the fence.  Its worth $10 according to negotiations over the weekend.  You see over the fence is worth $20, in the grass (no dirt) is a $1.  All 4 kids are in this program, (family sponsored) my t-ballers negotiated a .25 cent  rule for balls that end in the grass but traveled through the dirt.  Fair is fair I guess.  I'm not sure if I am schooling them to be ball players or lawyers?  Both are over paid and usually love how they make their livings.  It works I guess.  :)
My t-ballers are so far no losses and one forced tie due to game time restrictions.  They seem to be happy with themselves, and OK with no ice cream so far in the season.  Ice cream is only for losers during baseball season.  Thank goodness older siblings got some losses or we would all go through withdrawals!  (Insert laughter!) 
On that note, I am proud to tell you all that I lost 10 pounds since I last posted :)  Calorie counting is easier than ever with My Fitness Pal.  I also walk 3 to 4 days a week with my neighbors and friends, awfully nice of them to encourage me!  I don't think I would be a consistent walker if I didn't have them to talk to.
So as I was saying, life is all about ball, some wins (still quit), some losses (10 lbs) some even Steven (I'm still me!)  Game on my friends, Game On!
