I've got a busy day of travelling and visiting and returning kids to where they belong and bringing my kids to where they belong!
It was fun, though. The girls had a riot!
Ah.... to be 14 again....
How's everyone else doing? Diet-wise and other-wise?
@simba and shy, soooooooooo sorry dear for long absence, just after returning i had to be very busy in starting business and completion of appointments, even now i have to type a lot of reports.
Good to see you back, Raymh!
I hope everything goes well for you with your new business.
I've been busy, again. I'm starting to sound like a broken record....
I dropped off the kids where they belonged, picked up one of my kids and brought another kid with me. lol
She's still here and is very helpful. She's helping me get some cabinets organized and getting rid of unwanted stuff.
I was so tired and jumped right into my uncompleted work from yesterday, that I forgot to weigh myself. I actually haven't weighed myself for a few days.
lol
lol
I didn't weigh myself today again. Strange. This is a habit for me....
However, I know that I've gained weight. I'm enjoying what's available to me and eating to my heart's content. I'm not being too particular and watching my portions but, rather, enjoying larger portions.
We've been ordering out a lot lately as well. I know this isn't good for me to try to maintain my weight but, I'm so busy that I don't have the time to cook.
I'm guessing that I gained at least 5 lbs.
lol, Raymh! I've actually stopped ordering the food now. I know it's bad to do it constantly. My life is starting to slow down a little bit now... it just started today....LOL
I actually weighed in at 143.0 lbs. I only gained 2.0 lbs. Not bad considering everything... I thought it would have been higher.
Still 143.0 lbs and it's the first day of TOM.
I'm hoping that it's water weight due to TOM. I've been so busy that TOM just snuck up on me and I wasn't aware of it...
... it's time to slow down, smell the roses and enjoy the summer a little bit.
My weight has been ranging from 171 -175 lbs. Not really stressing about it...too much going on right now.
@Raymh, glad to hear your new business is off to a great start!
@Shy, enjoy your summer...it will be over before you know it. I was just telling my kids that August is almost here. You know what that means...back to school! LOL
@Simba: I feel the same way. I've gained weight but I'm not stressing about it.
Last night I was at a family gathering and we were trying to plan a bigger gathering for mid-August. I actually looked at the calendar and realized how short summer really is! There is hardly enough time to get the things done that i wanted to and to do the things that I wanted to!
You're right, back to school shopping will be here before you know it.
Yikes. I'm not ready. I just pulled out my patio furniture. Seriously.
144.0 lbs this morning. Remnants from last night serious eating and TOM!
143.0 lbs and still on TOM!
Hey... I went down one pound from yesterday... lol.... obviously water weight!
I was doing yardwork.. very neglected yardwork, yesterday. In fact I spent six hours outside trimming trees and shrubs and mowing the lawn. The lawn took the longest.... it was so long. The weather here has been crazy and we finally got a 'break'. There was so much rain that you had to time the cuttings in between, and of course, only when it was dry! God forbid you had anything else to do! Finally the rains stopped only to be followed by a terrible heat wave that was totally unbearable.
Anyways.... the back yard is done and looks great (I was just admiring it). Now... I still have to do the front yard ;(
@shy-- hope that u lose all this extra weight after TOM
i hvn't weigh myself due to TOM, i hvn't made any progress since january At 1st january my weight was 85 kg and instead of losing anything i hv gained back.
Agh.
143.5 lbs.... still better than yesterday! I forgot to post it. It was 145.0 lbs! Yikes... what's going on?????
I'm just finishing TOM and things are all over the place.
Mind you, I'm quite surprised on my weight this morning... I ate tons of starch yesterday... tons of starch. I even fried some of my starch to have for dinner.. AND I overate that!
Ah... summertime. Not a care in the world.
Lol. I'd better start caring!
July 27.... wow! Where has the time gone? It seems like summer is almost over....
AND I'm still getting my yard and furniture ready to enjoy the summer! Yikes! I guess one month is better than nothing... It just took so long this year as I was storing items in my gazebo for the winter and didn't remove them until two days ago!
DH and DS are gone to the states and DD1, DD2 and myself are surprising them with a clean and tweaked gazebo upon their return. It took us all afternoon to complete the cleanup and the restoring/painting of the furniture. We'll have to 'decorate' it on Sunday as there's rain in the forecast.
I have to clean up my entire house today. I have to. No more excuses. It's going to rain outside so I can't do anything outdoors... and i'm glad. I HAVE to clean up. It looks like a mini tornado has gone through my house.
Hmm...... where to start???
Oh yeah! I almost forgot.... 143.5 lbs this morning..
How are you guys doing?
@Raymh How is the business going?
@Simba: I'll bet that your new house is more set up than mine is.... I feel like I just moved in! Hope everything is going well..
I've been extremely busy cleaning up my house and getting rid of last years school work out of my dining room. There were so many places (mainly floor) that a lot of projects came home to and paperwork, that had to be dealt with, was also placed on the floor or the table. Wow. Where did the mess come from?
I needed to deal with it.
It took one and a half days to finally get the room clean, organized and ready for the next school year! lol
That was my goal... along with the surprise of the clean gazebo. Well... DH called and said that he wanted his uncle and aunt to come over for lunch on Monday (yesterday). What???? They are visiting my MIL and are heading back to the states. Well.... originally we wanted them to come over on Wed but their plans changed and the only day available was Mon. So..... I went into warp speed and my dear daughters helped me clean up the entire house! The rest was being neglected as we/I was concentrating on the gazebo and dining room.
Agh.
We finally go it done. DH and DS finally came home from their trip to the states and then it happened... Plans changed again and they never ended up coming! What????
I was beyond exhausted and just crashed in the evening. I couldn't even get up this morning. My mind was awake but my body didn't want to get up yet!
Seriously... I just had my first cup of tea this morning. I'm ready to have my second and it's almost lunch time.
lol
Today I weighed in at 142.5 lbs. I haven't seen this number in a while. I guess the stress of impending company and a very messy and unorganized house can do that to you.... you don't really eat and you're running around like crazy!
How's it going for you guys?
It's been a while since I heard from any of you.
My body seems to like this number!
lol

13 july 2013 --88.2 kg
