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...

Ugh-- Weigh In

The 190 lost gravatar is still in tact but not without weighing a pound more than I weighed last weekend.  Between Aunt Flo and a rather liberal high cal day last weekend, we know what needs to be done.  High cal days are getting a makeover.  It's time.

I'm not jazzed (and honestly I didn't deserve a gain but the Mr. gained a pound too so it was pretty obvious) but you do what you've gotta do.

Now, off to take some ibuprofen to get rid of this headache trying to brew before a road trip.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and congrats to those who get to enjoy a long one due to the holiday!

    I pretty much had to get rid of high cal days. I still have one day where I eat "the forbidden" but I have to keep it in range. It sucks, but at least you know why you gained. Doing everything right and still gaining always makes it worse. Have a great weekend and enjoy your road trip!

    There's no way they'll ever be cut out for us, just not haywire like last weekend. I even burned 400 calories more than I usually burn so I'm sure it's a decent mix of over the top cupcakes from an out of town bakery and Aunt Flo just bein' a bitch! LOL

    No long weekend for me. I have gotten a cold from my co-worker and plan to hibernate this weekend in the hopes of knocking it back by Monday.

    Glad the 190 is in tact. Hope the headache is a distant memory by the time you start the road trip. Looking forward to pictures!

    I only wish it were a 3 day weekend for me. Banks and the post office seem to be the only ones closed anymore.

    I hope your headache is better by now. Enjoy your trip.
