What I'm Reading This Week #30

Happy Final Friday of July everyone!  I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view.  The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole.  I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera.  Nope.   source When he poked it, it drained away.  Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying.  I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't.  But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel.  In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!!  If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...

Late Weigh In

Sorry for the late weigh in, my computer decided to die so the Mr has been furiously working for 2 days to get things back to normal.  So props to the man for recovering all of my files when it looked like that wasn't going to be a possibility.

Oh yeah, my weigh in...5 pounds bee-otches!  WOOT!  For those keeping track that's 9 lbs in 2 weeks.  I hate that I had to cut calories to get that but right now I don't care.  Last week I was going to get all philsophical about how I reached 325 which was the weight I was in Hawaii with friends in 2002 but I passed that by by 2 pounds.  Okay so maybe when I hit my wedding weight of 319, nope..passed that by a pound yesterday.  DARN!  Besides, getting back to a wedding weight of 319 isn't exactly what every gal dreams about but I suppose when you started at 494, yeah, you'll totally take that.  So I'm at 176 pounds lost.  I'll so take that.  I'd love to be able to lose another 4 lbs sooner than late to reach 180 because that just seems so in reach of that 200 lb mark.  I'm not expecting much on the scale this week though because after 2 big drops like that, my body is likely to wave the white flag this week.  I'm still going to follow the plan though and hope for the best. 

Thanks for hanging in with me!  Hope everyone is ready for kick butt week!

    YAY! How exciting!
    I was actually wondering where you were yesterday since I knew it was weigh in day, and I wanted to see how you did. Glad you get the computer going again without losing anything.

    Maybe your body will surprise you this week and decide it wants be down 200 pounds. Good luck!
