What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
I have read some of your blogs on spark, and followed the link to your website. I truly admire your work. Your consistency, dedication, and the obstacles you have had to endure inspire me to keep going. I am not one to look deeply into my feelings, or get to the core of the hurt, or analyze my state of mind. I am not a "writer" I never kept a journal/diary of any sort. I am starting to believe that in order to achieve success one key ingredient is to take time to think, reflect, ponder and write "stuff" down. ? Anyway the reason i started this comment was to encourage you to continue with a 2nd workout for another week. It has worked for me. I started in July weighing 217 and I am now at 195. I was doing two workouts a day 60 minutes each one in the morning and one in the evening. That lasted only a month since I didnt really have the time for it. I have 2 kids to make dinner for, help with homework, bathe and put to bed. I felt out of balance. Too much focus on weightloss meant some neglect of motherly duties. My husband is great but it didnt "feel" fair and I felt guilty having him pick up all my slack. Just wanted to encourage you to stick with it one more week.

Thanks! I'm going to give it a go for a minimum of the rest of the month to give my body a chance to adjust and kind of hope for the best. We'd had a pretty out of control high cal day the weekend before for V-day so I have a feeling half those workouts were to combat that. We did much better this weekend. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBoy, can I understand your feelings of frustration! I stuck to my workout plan like clockwork last week and Sunday's weigh in had me down .4 lbs!! That's a trip to the bathroom! (Sorry, didn't mean to be indelicate.) But it just burns my butt to workout hard and consistently and get nothing for it (or almost nothing). Although one of my co-workers heard me muttering this morning and said "The scale went down didn't it?" Yes, it's better than up. I'll have to be even more vigilant about my food intake this week, see where that gets me. That will be my "Weekly Tweak" for this week.
