Week Fourty-One

Last week was the first week I really totally forgot to post. I remembered a couple days ago and just decided to wait for this week's post. It was nothing to write home about anyway. I fell off the wagon for a while and went back up a few pounds to guess how much? Yup 172. I think my body really wants to hold on to that weight! This week I got back on the wagon and did well. This morning I was 167.8. I will be glad in about three more pounds when my weight will no longer cycle up into the 170s. This week was the last of the exercise classes I was taking. I didn't sign up for the next session because it has been increasingly difficult to get there. Maybe I'll take some in the following session.

I have been trying to find more natural hair care. I tried water only washing for over 8 weeks but my hair never seemed to adjust. So I decided to look for more natural products. Burts Bees looked pretty good and didn't have anything offensive in it so I got some of that. I just washed my hair with it. It seems pretty dry on the ends. I rubbed some of the conditioner on the ends as a leave-in. It is not totally dry yet so the I'll let you know how it goes. I'm sure I'll find something that works.

Week Thirty-Nine

After a month of, well, nothing I have a loss. I weigh 169 today. This morning anyway. This afternoon the family went to Becker Farm and I ate a lot of bad food and drink. This morning I took a civil service exam. There was a section that was a little tough so I'm not sure how I did.
I will get the results in a month or so. We finally finished painting the house. I ended up changing the color from white to yellow. We are going to do one more coat.

Week Thirty-Eight

Ha ha, I feel like I'm in groundhogs day. My weight is 172.4 again. This is a true plateau. I did my food journal on. Wednesday and Thursday and my calories were not that high. I did not do too much exercise this week though. I am busting my ass working on the house today.

Week Thirty-Seven

Uggghh! I am back up to 172.4, so I lost what little ground I gained last week. I knew this last 20 pounds or so would be difficult but this one step forward one step back thing is ridiculous. I worked out five days this week. What more can I do? I guess I should start food journaling again. That always gets me back on track with my calories anyway.

My oldest, Dustin, flew back to Florida on Thursday morning. The rest of us went to Niagara applefest yesterday. It was fun. Ayden rode a pony. The kids ate a lot of food. I swear I did not eat anything there. I did do some wine tasting though, which is extra calories.

Brittany and Shea applied for an apartment on Friday so I may soon have some semblance of sanity around here. I am supposed to be working on painting the outside of my house this weekend but it is raining. I may have to take off a couple days of work.

I bought Ayden an Iron Man costume for Halloween and we tried it on him yesterday. Well, he has refused to take it off since. We tried to wait till he was asleep but, he would wake up each time and become hysterical. I guess he likes it.
