What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
Sounds just like some of my post :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sweetie--that just sufcks. But at least it wasn't a gain. You're doing so great, I relaly don't understand why the pounds don't fall off more quickly. I think sometimes our bodies hae a set weight and they want to stay there. Maybe your's is where you are now? I got down to 139 right before Halloween, then during the holidays and winter I put on about 10 pounds. At this point I would be happy at 145. My body likes me right about 150 evidently, and I work very hard just to stay there. I had surgery 10 days ago, didn't eat anything for two days basically, then ate really lightly the rest of the week, and lost like maybe 2 pounds, which are now back. This morning I weighed 149.4. So back to that "happy" 150.

ReplyDeleteThank goodness it isn't a gain, but I know how frustrating that is. All that hard work, and nothing to "show" for it. *hugs*
It might not show on the scale but you are fighting cancer, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. You are working to stay healthy and that is awesome!
ReplyDelete((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteI agree with K. The scale is not showing the changes in your underlying health and it doesn't show that you are doing what is right for your metabolism so that it isn't jacked up for the rest of your life. It doesn't make the current situation any less frustrating, but it'll change, it'll move down again. Hugs and this is going to be an AWESOME week no matter what the grumpy scale says.
