From the Lioness' Den...

It's Been a Long Week but...

It's Friday again!!!!

Today is supposed to be a nice, sunny one too.  Good deal since it's been cloudy and rainy all week long.  It must've rained lots & lots after midnight last night 'cuz when I left for work this morning, there was a lake in front of my house that wasn't there when I got home from schoool last night.  More rain is forecast for tomorrow though.  That's alright, because everything is getting so green. The trees are budding, flowers are coming up and everything looks new again.

There is a Deck Therapy session scheduled for this evening.  I probably need intensive therapy with several rounds of Mich Ultra and infusion therapy with food from the grill.

Just in case anyone's wondering, there are 3 Saturdays left in tax season.  Not that I'm counting or anything.  Most of the time I sit at the Wal-Mart kiosk from 9-1 and do anything but taxes.  Because really, who goes to Wal-Mart on Saturday morning to have their taxes done? Now, I look at it as more of a 4-hour homework session that I get paid for. Can't beat that.  I have done more taxes on the side this year than I have through H & R Block.

Shelby told me last night that she has lost 8 lbs since she started track.  In January she weighed 103 and now weighs 95.  I told her she needs to eat more then 'cuz she really doesn't need to lose anything. The girl is 5'4" and pretty much a stick.  They have a meet next week, where she will do the 40- and 200-meter dashes and long jump.  I'll be anxious to see how she does.

I gained 5 of the 8 pounds she lost.    I fell way off track last weekend and stayed there through the move and am struggling to get back on. I figured the stair climbing and heavy lifting would at least help, but apparently not. Or maybe it did and I would have gained 10 if I hadn't been doing that.  Who knows? Whatever the reason, it sucks.

With that, I will end this and get back to work.  Hope you all have a lovely day and a fabulous weekend.

Don't beat yourself up.

It is normal to have ups and downs when you are trying to loose weight. And, yes, I bet the stairs and all did actually help. Exercise is supposed to do something, right? ( please say yes or else I'll have yet another excuse to not exercise)

Have a great weekend. I'm working the whole time & Hubby and the kids will be here packing. I hate I'll miss that. hahahaha
