One way to lose weight..........

Well I have found one way to lose weight - get strep throat. LOL Not a good way to lose it. But it did go down on the two days I couldn't swallow anything solid, semi-solid or well generally anything not liquid - even that hurt. :( I got sick on Tuesday early morning and by Wednesday evening I weighed 228.4 lbs. Back up to 231 lbs now, but it was nice to see it below 229 for a change. Even if it was only because I was sick. :)

Things have been busy around here. Yard sale this weekend in my community. So I have been cleaning and washing and trying to get it set up for today - but failed. Prolly would have helped if I had started yesterday but I was still feeling crappy. But tomorrow should be a good day since people won't be working during the hours we are allowed to run the yard sale. Unfortunately I have no big clothes to sell just yet. Still have a few more lbs to lose to get outta the size I am now.

I just hope none of my kids catch the step since they are leaving next Tuesday to go up north with my in-laws for a week. YIPPEE!!!!! Now if only I can convince them to take the extra kid I am watching next week too..........Think they will???? lol I only have her two days next week as I will be gone on one of the days her mom needs me DARN.

Hope everyone is doing good. Have to catch up on my reading. ;) Hugs ~ Jen

Well this morning my weight is 233.2 lbs. My darn allergies have kicked in MAJOR over this past week. Which means I have been trying to sleep more than anything else. :(  I really hate having allergies this time of year sucks for me. The main problem with this is I go back to sleep after dropping the kids at the bus stop and end up missing breakfast. Bad on my part I know but I never feel like eating much with a scratchy throat.

I have gotten rid of some of the stress in my life temporarily. One of the moms whose kids I watch lost her job on the days I watched him. Of course it had to be the mom that was actually paying me to watch him. But she hopes to find another job soon and still intends for me to watch him over the summer. So provided I don't go into a rage and kill myself or the other monsters.....errrr kids I watch I'll be here all summer just typing away and hopefully - no wait - I WILL lose weight this summer. :) I may not make it in time for this bathing suit season. But darnit I will for next. :)

Have a great day everyone! :)
