Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap

Good Monday to you fine party people!  I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend.  We kind of did.  What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave.  While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet.  It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope!  😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes.  I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot.  I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter.  Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...

Mmm hmm - Weigh In

Down another pound.

My mind immediately says "still up one from pre-vacay gain and 2 from lowest point ever."  Sorry guys, I'm not a Pollyanna. My mind doesn't jump up and down for the loss until they're pounds I'm not re-losing and nothing is going to change my mindset on that.  So I guess don't expect any excitement from me for another 3 lbs.   Which should be another 3 weeks from now if the past 2 weeks are any indicator.  *beats head against the wall*

Between that and potential plans for today falling apart, I'm not in a great mood.  Can't wait to tell the Mr. about that one as he'll win the bet if plans do fall through.  Sigh.

EDIT:  Our plans did not fall through and we had a great time.  The weight thing still sucks though, just to clarify.  HA!

  2. You may lose your bet, but I'm pretty sure you'll manage to salvage the day somehow.

  4. I have the same attitude unfortunately. It doesn't feel like a "real" loss until it's a "new" loss! Although you have to admit, the amount of work it takes is the same, which has to count for something!

  5. I feel exactly the same way you do. I don't count it as a loss unless it's under my previous low weight.

    I hope your day turned out okay.

  7. So make this the worst thing that's going to happen today. I know you're going to find all kinds of good things to cancel out this one not-so-good thing.

    Happy Sunday!

  9. OMGosh you kill me! I have been stuck playing with the same danged 4 pounds for the longest time. At least you are losing. I would kill to be down one pound each week. You allow yourself so much that I do not allow myself, so an up for me is just futility. I don't have high cal days or a "week off." I just suck lately; stuck at a plateau. Be happy with what you have and don't focus on what you haven't achieved.

  11. Yeah, I'm kind of a glass half empty girl myself, so I understand how you feel. But I can still tell you that you are awesome for losing a pound. You don't have to believe it, but I get to say it!
