Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Saturday, January 4

114.0 today, which is an all time low for me. The lingering head cold has killed my appetite so I haven't been keeping my calories up. This would never have happened to me before surgery!

147.0

My daughter hurt her ankle at a sleepover last night. We are not the most graceful family. She tripped over her own foot and then up a step. Uh yeah, Julliard won't be calling us anytime soon. 

Fighting against the feeling that we keep taking 1 step forward and two steps back. This is just normal life stuff. Just feels bigger. 

Personal Trainer for me and hubby today. I changed the kids to next week. 

It's snowing. My cat is all sorts of pissed. He wants someone to turn off the cold. 

Let is know how you like the personal trainer:)

Hope your daughter heals fast.

I've been a weeping mess this week.  Everything seems bigger than it is...Big Sigh!!  

Hugs to you!

Feeling over-whelmed just sucks. 

Thursday will be a good day for you! Oh, and 23 years of teaching = no need to worry - you are obviously a good teacher. I know easy to SAY don't worry. Harder to do. 

140.3# Everything seems bigger than it is for me this week.  Hormones. Coming down from a sugar high.  School starting...my observation is on Wednesday.  Even after 23 years of teaching, it make me anxious.  Trying not to eat my way through it.  

Hope you feel better, Linda!

165.8

Hang in there, my dears. 

Were the parasites eradicated? *crosses fingers*

Thanks for asking.  In a word, nope.  The court officer never showed up -- I guess because state offices and the courts were closed, but he SAID he would notify us if it was off.  Never heard from him.  My husband waited for well over an hour.

Not only that, but it appears the creeps are actively trying to sabotage the house.  My husband found a window wide open on the second floor and the back door wide open.  It got down to 9 degrees F there last night, and we got  7" of snow Thursday night which miraculously did NOT come into the house through the open window.  Well cold enough to freeze whatever water is sitting in the pipes after my husband's attempts to drain the system.  Yup, fingers crossed.

HOPEFULLY we can get this done Monday.  Then I need to fax the lockout paperwork to the electric company to prove they've been evicted and then wait until the electric company gets around to restoring service to what's left of the house when these people are done with it.  Some good news is that they have cleared out most of their crap.  The house is filthy and has some damage, but no longer strongly resembles what you'd see in an episode of Hoarders.

And I was actually wondering why my gut hurt last night.

Just...ugh.

Kick those leeches to the curb and then move on down the road. 

136 today.  I have been pretty consistent with this weight.  1 pound up from goal.  I'll take it.
