When I woke up this morning, I thought long and hard about getting up - I just didn't want to. After lying there, tableting and reading for a couple of hours, I finally talked myself into getting up because I had TONS of housework to do today. I didn't get to do it yesterday, when I generally do my after-the-weekend cleanup, because of my stupidity on Friday, so I had to do it today. Ugh and double ugh.
But I got up and I got to work on it all. I put a load of towels in, and then got started on the dishes. What a job that was! I stopped once to eat my lunch, which today was a banana and the last Reese's Egg, then got right back into it. When Ron texted me that he was on his way home, I was still doing dishes! The last of the pans by then, but still dishes. Well into the second sink full of hot water, and probably the third dishdrainer full of dishes, but still doing dishes.
I also scrubbed down all the counters (as opposed to just washing or wiping them) and I also really scrubbed the stove and put new burner liners - I guess that's what you call them - under the burners. I don't do that job near often enough, and when I do, it's a rough and tough job.
I took my shower a little late - after six - and left for my TOPS meeting right on time. I felt good about my weigh-in tonight, since I had lost weight Saturday morning, and Ron and I have been eating a bit better, and have even started back eating salads for supper. I knew for a fact that I hadn't eaten many calories today! But, alas, when I weighed in, I found that I have gained a pound! Exactly one pound. I'm not sure what the hell is going on now! I guess that I can only hope that I will see a better result next week. I am at my wit's end.
With my Biggest Loser contest ending this go-round this weekend, which I know that I don't have a snowball's chance of 'winning' - anything! - but I can certainly hope to do better in the next go-round, which also starts this weekend. One ends and the next begins, that's how it goes. If you'd like to know about joining us, let me know - I'll get you the info! It's easy - you must weigh in with them to begin, then weigh yourself every Saturday morning and send them your weight, then weigh in with them to end. Voila! It costs $20.00 to join, and you could possibly win one of three categories - most weight lost, most inches lost, or most percentage lost. The prize is 1/3 of all monies collected.
When I got home from my meeting, Ron had supper done. He had cleaned out the fridge - we had cheese weenies, spaghetti, beans, and BBQ chicken. He had mixed the beans and the chicken together, and that's what he had. I had the cheese weenies and spaghetti. An interesting supper, to say the least. We ate while watching NCIS and NCIS:NO, which were both reruns. Blah! Then it was time for dead guys, and he went to bed.
Also - BIG NEWS - the Bengals schedule came out today!! The Kansas City Chiefs will come here in early October, so I'm hoping that my brother John will be able to come in for a visit and the game, and the Bengals will be playing in Buffalo (against the Buffalo Bills) in mid-October, so maybe, just maybe, Ron and I will finally manage a trip to Niagara Falls to visit my brother Chip and catch that game. We'll have to see how all the money works out - that's what is gonna hold everything up. I wish that the two games hadn't been so close to each other, but that's the way the ball bounces - especially if it's a football!
