Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.

You've been at this long enough to know these phases happen, and you're right: it still stings!
ReplyDeleteOne teensy thing to keep in mind is that ibuprofen is said to cause water retention in some people. (http://www.livestrong.com/article/547954-ibuprofen-fluid-retention/)
I'm not saying that's why you're up, because who knows how and why our bodies do these things, but if you took the ibuprofen before bed and you weighed this morning....well, it's possible.

ReplyDeleteSadly I was already up the two pounds yesterday morning so the ibuprofen didn't seem to help or hinder on fluctuation scale. :\
ReplyDeleteMy LIFE has seemed to plateau the past 2 years. It's friggin frustrating. I'm not buying potatoes this time at the grocery, stocking up on greens and cutting back a bit on the carb sides to see if that does anything. I'm just getting REAL friggin' sick and tired of analyzing every minute of my day.
Ew, I'll be watching my scale with a great deal of suspicion now. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to see how frustrating this is for you. And yet, I know you will eventually prevail. Dare I say patience is a virtue? Nah, you might go all 'scale-al' on my @ss. Wish I knew what to say that would actually be helpful-but since I don't, hope a little chuckle makes you feel a little better.
Wow - Jurassic Park and Once Upon a Time - you've managed to hit two favorites in two consecutive posts.
ReplyDeleteDruthers - The phrase "I'd Rather" runs together to make "if I had my druthers". Funny word though.
Your food for the week looks fantastic as usual. I'm sorry it wasn't the winning combination for you.
This happens.. and then we tweak and tweak some more to get where we want to go. You got this!

ReplyDeleteThe scale lies! I hate it so much.
