Another one (actually two) bites the dust
I love it when I actually look forward to weighing in on Sunday. It’s amazing what a little healthy eating and exercise can do, I’m down 2 more pounds to 245.5. And, this is PMS week so I’m hoping it’s actually a little bit more, I guess we’ll see next week.
Thank you so much for all of the supportive words about what I wrote yesterday. I was on the verge of bringing things up last night but I just didn’t feel like getting into a big talk. The time will come b/c like you said Shana, when it’s good it’s really good, we’re just in a rough patch right now.
Today is going to be a casual day. We have our benefit breakfast this morning and if it doesn’t rain I’m going to cut the grass. My muscles are screaming from my weights workout yesterday so it should be fun pushing the mower up the many hills in our yard. Actually, my muscles aren’t screaming, they’re just whimpering a bit. I honestly love that feeling b/c it reminds me that I did something good for my body. Then I’m going to attempt to get this house in order; I have a pile of laundry that could give Mt. Everest a run for its money.
8:20
I wish I could have spent every minute outside today. The weather wasn’t even all that great, honestly pretty cloudy. But it was just warm enough to wear shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt. I string trimmed and cut the grass and the yard looks great. I know there will only be a few more times to cut the grass before the snow flies and I’m trying to cherish being outside as much as possible. Word is we’re supposed to have an equally bad winter this year and I can’t even begin to think about that.
My muscles are beginning to whimper a bit more loudly, I think I’ll be in pretty bad shape tomorrow. But it’s back on track so I will lift if I’m not too sore and hit the treadclimber.
Progress toward workout goal: 65/250
Thanks for your wonderful comment on my blog, Brandie. I consider you a friend as well. We share a lot in common. Teaching, the health issues of your son and my granddaughter, and a determination to get back in shape (although you’re so much better at it than I am!)
I hope you didn’t take my comment yesterday to indicate that your DH is having an affair. What I meant to say is that you must trust your instincts. If you feel like something’s wrong, it probably is. That “something” may be a health issue, emotional, or any number of other issues. The important thing is to trust your feelings and work to find out what’s going on so that it doesn’t continue to grow into a bigger problem. You’re feeling hurt and rejected and you should never have to feel that way.
It’s not easy to stay in love and keep the spark ignited. It takes a lot of work. Maybe you both just need to run naked in a meadow in the moonlight. That might be just the ticket!
Congratulations on your weigh-in, wooohooo!!! You are doing so great!
Good job with the lawn… that has become my new chore because it’s such a great workout!
You are doing so wonderful with your weight loss. You so inspire me with your determination and hard work. Keep it up.
Patty is right, trust your instincts. I am not sure about running through the meadow though. LOL LOL LOL
DH and I are going on 22 years and there are seasons in the marriage when certain area’s need a lot more work. In the end it is worth it.
You take care. Keep up the FANTASTIC job!!!!
