morning weight: 182 ( I have no idea what is going on here but I am so not happy)
exercise: Sat - 60 minute power hike, Sun the same
sugar: nada, lots of cheese & bread though
Spending a weekend on the boat was a great way to end my vacation, although we did not stay out overnight. Sailorboy became a bit obsessed with getting the powerboat in the water, and then we went wakeboarding Saturday evening (after dark, very dangerous, don’t try this at home kids), and out all day on Sunday. We escooted over to a little beach about 8 miles away, so the dog could spend the afternoon on the island. He was in doggy heaven. The boat, however, broke down again just as we made it into the marina and we had to drift the last 100′ or so into the dock. Very funny. So it is back on the trailer until the gas line can be fixed ( or something, it is not really my department).
I was pleased that I still managed to get in two long powerwalks. I did not kick it up to a ‘wun’ but I am slowly getting there. Food choices were not bad, except for all the beer while sitting in the hot sun. fitday says I am still in negative calorie intake land so why the big jump again? I think it is high-carb bloating. Too much bread and too many beer.
morning weight: 179.6 (I don’t know what is happening)
exercise yesterday: painting for 2 hours, including up and down a ladder
sugar yesterday: nada
Off to the sailboat for the weekend and it looks like the weather will be wonderful, finally. I am packing up, have some groceries to pick up and away we go! Dog and I will go for a hike this afternoon, and Sailorboy will probably get there tomorrow morning. He is determined to get the speedboat in the water and he has had to take the engine apart. I would be happy to just go sailing but he really wants to try out his new water toys.
The rest of the weekend I will be learning to wakeboard and if I don’t drown first I will burn off some calories.
morning weight: 180.6 ( my scale so probably right)
exercise yesterday: not really
sugar yesterday: 1/2 a chocolate bar; one piece of white bread with strawberry jam

Spent most of the afternoon painting the railing, porch, door and windows on the front of the house. I had black paint in my hair and white primer everywhere else. The black paint, unfortunately, was an alkyd gloss and after SOAKING my expensively-dyed hair in varsol I think I have it out and new set of ’streaky’ bangs. Grrr. Well, my own fault. It was so hot I only got the primer on most of the rest of it, I will have to wait for a cooler day to finish so I get a smooth finish. Also replaced 2 window screens so I can now have a breeze through the house without the cloud of moths roosting in every lightshade. I am spending a rare night alone in my house and quite liking it. I think I will go paint my toenails…:)…carefully.
morning weight: 179.6 BUT not my scale so don’t believe it
exercise yesterday: cut the lawn…40 minutes of pure hellish work
sugar: nada
Spent the day with Sailorboy on another impromptu road trip, this time in his convertible. Great day for a long drive through the U.P.
morning weight: 181
exercise yesterday: 40 minute hike at power walk speed
sugar: nada
Well, I crossed a line yesterday. I bought my first pair of reading glasses. Ugh.
On the positive side, I took dog for a good hike on a new trail yesterday, and I was able to run part of it. It was a good way to spend a sunny summer afternoon. Today is grey and cool again, but no rain yet, so I will tackle the yard and some outside maintenance.
Tomorrow I am leaving town again for a weekend of boating. Then my vacation will be over.Sigh.
morning weight: 181.4
yesterday exercise: 20 minute walk with the dog, brisk but not up to ‘power’
sugar yesterday: nada, but pizza blowout instead
I have been hovering on the edge of a binge for the last few days, I should be starting my period but my cycle is getting out of whack so I have no idea when things will happen. Still, I haven’t been out of control, just considering it. It helps that I have not had any binge-worthy foods in the house, until last night when I ordered pizza, which in this town only comes in large. Large pizzas here are not round, they are baked on a cookie sheet and cut in squares. That’s a lot of pizza. Two of us ate a little more than half, and sad to say I took more than my fair share. The rest is going in the garbage can as soon as I finish this.
I am heading off on a long hike with wonder dog, and then will finish up a few things around the house. How does laundry pile up when there is only one person living here?
morning weight: 179.8 (don’t believe it but so what there it is)
exercise yesterday: as noted previously, today’s still to come
sugar yesterday: nada
Road trip has been cancelled, and I have to deal with two big problems today. My son, who has a binge-drinking problem, stole my car in the middle of the night and cracked up the front fender. This is the latest in a long list of damage he has done while drinking, and I had told him that if it continued and he endangered other people I would take action. So now I have taken back all keys to my house and told him he has 2 months to vacate the basement apt. Then he broke down my front door, for reasons unknown and unknowable. I have to replace to door today, as right now the only thing between me and the street is a piece of plastic taped over the hole where the glass used to be. (I am not in any danger from my son, I am confident of that.)
I have to ask my boyfriend to help install the door, if I can find one in stock somewhere that I can afford, as I know I can’t do it myself and I don’t know how that is going to go. Nowhere happy, I am sure. Then I have to call my parents and explain why I am not there as planned.
In the meantime I am flattened. Drained. I can barely make myself move.
PS Door is installed and boyfriend was wonderful - no questions, no ‘advice’, just genuine concern and carefulness. Getting to love that man.
morning weight: 181.0 (grrr)
exercise: Prevention magazine’s latest ’shrink a size’ workout (yeah, I know, but what the heck anything to get moving and stretching again)
sugar: none yesterday but I do confess to a wings and fries meltdown
My eldest son turns 25 tomorrow, and since I will be away we went out for dinner last night. He wanted wings and fries, so that’s what we had - now, I had 8 or 9 and he had 20 so I did show some restraint….
Friday morning weight: no idea
exercise: Tues - 60 minute power walk; Wed - 90 minutes powerwalk with hills; Thurs: 90 minute powerwalk with hills; Fri - 60 minute powerwalk
sugar; nada
I am off tomorrow on another road trip and then will spend 4 days on the boat. Sailorboy needs a new nickname since he bought a 255 hp speedboat. It is so cool! It goes fast fast fast AND I am the driver. By next weekend we will have a wakeboard and water skis. I have never done either and I am anxious to try them out although I know I will look like a goofball newbie.
He lets me helm the sailboat too but that is cool in a different way.
Too bad the weather is so sucky this year.
