Gradituesday U

Ultimatum – That’s just a sexy thing for a spanko.

Uneasy – The delicious feeling you get when your spanker give you that look.

Uncomfortable – I have spent the last 35 years or so being comfortable – bored but comfortable. The original discussion with Nick about spanking was uncomfortable. And I am most grateful for the times my rear end has been uncomfortable since!

USA – I don’t always agree with all decisions our government makes, but I love it here and I am proud to live here.

Uranus – I am so grateful that I got to quit teaching science so I do not have to teach 6th graders about Uranus.

Understudy – I will be grateful for any part my son may ever get!!

Unique – Every one of my friends out here are completely unique. And I am grateful for each and every one of you!

Understood – I am grateful to find a place after all these years where I feel understood.

Unhealthy (foods) – Sadly they taste the very best: chips, donuts, candy, snack cakes, Cheetos, suckers, Dortios, honey roasted peanuts, pork skins, popcorn, brownies, pop tarts, marshmallows, honey buns, crackers, cookies, fried apple pies, moonpies, soft drinks, Big Macks, hot dogs, deep fried oreos, Little Debbie’s cakes, sugar pops, ice cream, fries…


Now isn’t that a great way to segue into a diet update. The news wasn’t good before I ate all of Eva’s wonderful cooking. Nick was really very understanding but he had put an upper limit on what he would tolerate. Unfortunately I was over that – by a lousy 2 tenths of a pound. But I will have to admit that showed a solid 2 pounds gain that I can’t blame of scale fluctuations. From my lowest point I am up a full 7 pounds and I want this to STOP! Thankfully Nick does too. The hairbrush came out and he wasn’t kidding when he says he wants to see a two pound loss this week.

Nick was very kind during these crazy last few weeks. Maybe he should have been stricter but I was pretty stressed and I know he really wasn’t sure whether forcing me to the gym or spanking for the gains would help relieve my stress or add to it. And to be really honest I am not sure myself which it would have done. I was content to let him do what he thought best for me at the time. Often he really does seem to know what is best for me better than I do.

But back to the diet, I like that he has given me a specific goal for this week – 2 pounds, tough but doable if I go back to what has worked in the past. I am also happy that he is not ignoring the gain. Now that summer is here I have no doubt he is going to stay on top of things and not let me backslide. Dieting sure is easier when there is a loving husband holding a hairbrush standing behind you!
