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...

A reversal of fortune- Weigh In

Welp, the streak is broken and reversed, up a pound today.  :-(

I'm not surprised though because, not to get graphic but, my system has been off all week and I felt like this wasn't going to be a good one.  My water wasn't the greatest this week but I certainly don't think it was enough to do any damage or make me gain a pound and I was well within the same calorie range I've been in the past 2 weeks I had those great losses so who knows why the body retained.  (I was bloated as hell this morning)  The Mr also gained a pound and he was bloated too so we're trying to pinpoint what we ate yesterday that would've done that to us)  I'm not upset because as I said, sometimes you just feel like the planets aren't aligning a particular week.  So on to next week and also a bit of stress is off of me from Grandpa being through his surgery so maybe that factored in a bit too.  (I've given up trying to figure out the delicate balance of weight loss!  LOL)

On a positive note, the Mr passed his test he had to take this morning to renew a certification!  YAY!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and check out the store at Cafepress for the 20% off of a $50 order through tomorrow!

  1. Still wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss on the previous 2 weigh ins! That's still a fantastic loss and I'm sure that if you wouldn't be bloated, you'd have another loss this week. I can only speak for myself here, but when I bloat, my weight goes up by at least 2 pounds. I hope you can figure out what caused the bloating so you can avoid it in the future. One of the worst feelings ever, especially when my legs are bloated! I hope your bloat will be gone soon, my body tends to stay bloated for a minimum of 4 days, regardless of the healthy/low sodium foods I eat, the amount of water I drink, or how much I sweat during my workouts... SO annoying!

    I'm happy your grandpa made it through the surgery just fine, I wish him a speedy recovery! And also congrats to the Mr for passing his test! Great news!

    Have a great Sunday!
