10/11

Today started with the alarm going off at 7:30.  Ugh and double ugh.  When my cell phone alarm went off at 7:45, I really got up, even though my whole body screamed at me "No!  Don't do this!"  I had obligations, though, and made myself get up.  I did do my weigh-in on my Wii first, although I soon wished that I hadn't.  I have gained almost 2 pounds!  I am not understanding this at all - although I am going to believe the old 'it's turning to muscle' story.  After all, I am walking, walking, walking every day, and I am doing the PT exercises every day, and I am eating between 1000 and 1200 calories every day - I am not being 'stupid' about any of this.  I am so confused, though, about why none of this seems to be getting me off of this mesa (not a plateau, a mesa...) I am stuck on.  I am doing everything right, I swear!

Oh, well.  Nothing I can do now.  I go ahead and get myself up to the church and work at the Rummage Sale again, mostly sitting at the Bake Sale table today.  I was not silly enough to put my back - and the rest of my body - through any more than I had to.  I had the rest of my salad from yesterday for my lunch, which I ate around 11:30.  At the end of the Sale, I did help a little with the cleaning up, and that is when I scavenged through the books and picked myself out two full boxes of books.  One was already full of all the same 'brand' (or kind) of books, so I didn't have to do much there, but I did have to straighten and finish filling the other box.  Then I got a very nice (thank you!!) price for those two boxes of books, and I wrote one check to cover all the shopping - the picking and choosing - I had done over the last couple of days.  I think I did great for my money!

I got home, and took a nap before Josh and his family all showed up - Ron and Corgan were still out trying to get my car looked at.  They did come in first, but after talking to me for a few minutes, they went on outside and I got to sleep.  When everyone else got there, they woke me up and I got to visit with them and then started supper.  I made fish fillets (the square patties), cheese weenies, mixed a bag of frozen broccoli and a bag of frozen cauliflower for our veggie, and that was supper.
Then we sat out by the fire and, boy, it that feel good!  After they left, it didn't take long for Ron and I to go to bed.  We were both tired!


10/12

Today was, for me, a total day of rest.  Church, lunch, football.  WhooHoo.
I forgot that I was assigned to be lector today, but I had no problem doing that job.  I do love to read, you know, and it doesn't bother me in the least to do so in front of people.
After church, we went down to Amelia to put gasoline in Ron's truck, and much to our surprise, gas at WalMart was down to $2.93!!  Wow!  We then went to Bob Evans for our lunch, and he got the Broasted Chicken dinner, and I got the half-sandwich and soup combo, with the turkey-bacon melt sandwich and potato cheddar soup.  Of course, I missed kickoff, and had to listen to the beginning of the game on the radio on the way home, but I got home in time to see the Bengals get the ball for the first time.
Then it was just "park my ass in the recliner" for the rest of the day!  I like those days, although I know I should probably do my exercises at some point during the day, but a day of rest is a day of rest, right?
We made Manwich for our supper, and when I had my supper, I did make it with two slices of bread.  I probably should have only used one, since I was going to eat it with a fork, anyway, but...

I am now hungry again, so when I put my food in MFP, I put in for a popcorn and milk snack, which ended me up just less than 150 calories over my 1000 for the day, which is okay, because that's still under 1200.  I can live with that.

Tomorrow I am running down to Kroger - Ron is out of tonic water again.  We didn't back down there over the weekend, and thus I must do it.  I also get to stop at my friend Bert's and get more veggies from her!  Orange tomatoes!  WhooHoo!  It's the last of the year, though, so I will enjoy them even more because of that.
