Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 4/26

Happy Friday!

181.8 again this morning.  We went out to eat last night and everything was very salty.  I drank extra water last night, but still have puffball ankles.  I expect I'll be seeing the inside of bathrooms here at work frequently today.

Weekend is jam packed, as usual.  Softball practice for little one tonight.  Carting big one around for tennis team's bottle drive in the morning.  Then we all have dance pictures throughout the day, so I'll be beautifying, driving or posing kids and myself all day.  Sunday is church and directory pictures, and then the little one an I are going to her BFF's dance recital at a different dance school.  There is also a local fundraiser tonight for folks we know - an adults only drag show, we may go to.  The oldest is willing to babysit, so even if we don't go to the show, we can catch a movie or something.  It all depends if hubby is willing.  The show also doesn't start until 9pm, and I still like to be home fairly early when the kids are alone, as my oldest is only 14.  I've already donated money to the cause, so we'll see.

Morning everyone:

Down 3.8 below goal.  Nice.   156.2

We had a cat who brought us presents of snakes.  Playing the piano one would casually glide out.  We got used to it.

Have the best day AND weekend.

I got the heebie jeebies just reading your post!  LOL   I am so afraid of snakes, it isn't funny!.  It was MAJOR progress for me that, when we first moved to our house, and there was a harmless garter snake sunning itself on our deck, I didn't tell hubby that we had to move immediately!  I've tried hard to not pass my fear onto my kids, but they've figured it out and think it's a hoot!   I was even able to, very briefly mind you, look at a picture of my oldest one with a snake wrapped around her neck at a carnival, without panicking.  What a woos I am! :)

I meant wuss, not woos!  :)

Thank goodness, he only brought one live bunny inside the house.

When we first figured out that he was a natural outdoor cat, we thought about putting in one of those doggy doors straight into the house. God was seriously looking out of us. It's bad enough having bunny butts all over the garage.

Thank you, God  that we chose to keep it in the garge!

101 lbs today. 

Off to Yosemite for the weekend.  I started "carb-loading" yesterday, just because I don't want to bonk during my hikes.  It'll be interesting to see how I do energy-wise and weight-wise in the next couple of days.  No scale, for food tracking devices, just camping and hiking.  Exciting and scary!

Be careful of those cats, they're all aliens, you know.  At least, according to my dog, they are :-)

Have a good weekend all!

Have fun!

Thanks Gail!  You have a good weekend too!

I am still up today at 167.8.  I went out and ate 3 Vietnamese vegetarian spring rolls with sweet & sour soy sauce, and I have also had a little bit of salty licorice these last couple of days so I am quite sure its all water weight.  I want it to go NOW!

I can't even talk about the cat stuff ........................

Have a good weekend everyone!

Today's weight: 160.6 - THIS.WILL.NOT.STAND!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know whether it is due to starting back with strength training, not running or only getting 1/3 of the fluids I should but this is not happening! Will be spending the weekend catching up with sleep and water intake and see if that helps. TBH I am not too worried yet but it's as good a time as any to re-evaluate my diet as well.
