Tired and allergies......

It's that time of year again. What time of year is that you ask? The time of year when I have coughing and sneezing fits, major headaches and feel like crap most days. Thats right it's allergy season. My oldest - poor kid - seems to have picked up on my allergies too. I guess that's better than having her dad's food allergies. So I have been coughing, she has been coughing, we both have been looking like we get no sleep. Although on Tuesday that really was because I didn't get enough sleep.

Anyone else out there with me buying a Wii Fit at 12:01 am? The store closest to me (Meijer) was only getting 20 in stock. While WalMart had them for $0.27 cheaper - I'd most likely use more than that in driving there and back to get it. Glad I was there at 12:01 am because they sold 10 of their 20 right then. If I had waited until I woke up at 6:30 am I might have got one. But we don't know that for sure so I was out at midnight. Let me tell you something though - I'm pretty sure the scale on the darn thing is off. It weighed me at 248 - now as much as I'd like to think I lost that much already I know it's not true. What I find funny is I have two scales by the same company - both electronic and the older of the two weighs me at about 7 lbs. lighter than the newer one. How is this possible? I guess every scale is different even from the same maker. Go figure.

So this afternoon when I should be grocery shopping I am going to try out the Wii Fit. Shhhhh I'll go out later.....not sure when but later I'll get groceries. But whatever I do I have to stay away from the chocolates. TOM is coming soon and sweets are all I can think about these days. It's so annoying that we have this one (well 2 really if you count pms week) week were we are pissy and only sweets seem to "cure" it temporarily that is.



So I think weigh in day may be moving back to Monday. I know I know - pick a date. Well it moved to Wednesday because I was hosting a weight loss challenge at my house but we only had one lady show up last week. Another stopped by asked where to park and never came back. But the one who was here didn't show up this week. Possible reason could be that her sister who was with her had her baby or that she figured it wasn't for her. We'll see next week I guess. But I am down another 2 lbs. this past week for a total of 5.5 lbs lost roughly. I'm not sure of inches I'll have to find out from the Monday challenge. I'm still going in case the Wednesday one doesn't work out then I can still get involved and keep on track.

Well I should probably get working on the fitness challenge. It wasn't too bad - my fitness age or whatever they called it was only 29 - 1 year older than I am. Have a great day J-land! ~Hugs~Jen
