Another week flies by....

Monday was my normal Happy Homemaker Day, so not much happened - yay!
I have come to the conclusion that I must find some kind of motivation for myself for losing weight for now.  I used the "I don't want 10 pallbearers" excuse before, and I met all of those goals, except one, and I was okay with not meeting that one - it was close to impossible, anyway.  It is now so accessible that it's not really much of a motivation, though, so it's out.  I'll think of something eventually...
I also started writing a journal, too - not on the pute, but physically.  I figure that since I'm not writing a blog every night, writing in a journal will help me.  I know that you guys don't really want to hear all the boring everyday crap - the highlights are enough!  Maybe some deep thoughts, too, just to get your opinions on things, too, huh?

Tuesday was another boring Happy Homemaker Day, but when I went to my TOPS meeting and weighed in, I was pleased to discover that I did very well over this 2-week period!  No meeting last week because of the weather, remember?  So -- ta da! -- I lost 2.8 pounds!!  <happy dance!>

Wednesday was a totally wasted day, and that night Ron asked if I had gotten his prescription yet - they weren't in when I had gone down the road last weekend - and I had to admit that I had forgotten about it.  I told him that I would go down the road tomorrow and get it.  Yay!  Some excitement!

Thursday, as promised, I went down the road to get Ron's prescription.  Oh, I felt so much better being able to GO!!  I think my brain gets stagnant when I stay home too many days in a row.  I really do.  It gets stagnant and it forgets how to work....seriously.
After coming home, I even stayed dressed and walked out to meet Ron when he texted that afternoon - how about that?  I made it all the way to our half mile mark, too.  I was quite proud of myself.  I thought, "Not bad for not walking for two months!"
Before supper, Ron and I did our weigh-ins on the Wii.  He gained weight, while I lost 5.2 pounds!  I can handle this!  There is hope!

Friday was supposed to be a nice quiet day at home (of course, all day for me) for Ron and I since we don't have Corgan this week.  We were going to do all the running on Saturday, since he had to go to Walgreen's with me to pick up his readout for 2015 for tax purposes - they are kinda strict on that.
That all changed about 4:00.  I got a text - "Do you wanna go eat with us?"  Well, now!  After some back-and-forth (mostly because Ron wasn't home yet), we finally determined that this was gonna happen (mostly because Ron never answered my texts) and it sure would be something different.  Even though Ron and I should be abstaining today, we agreed that we would do our abstaining tomorrow - we thought that God would understand - after all, He helped make this situation come about, right?  So, I got everything together that I would need for all the running that I can do tonight instead of tomorrow and when Ron got home, he showered and changed and off we went.
We met Josh, Chelle, Corgan, and Jean down at Hibachi for supper and had a grand time.  Then Josh and Chelle dropped Ron back off at home while Jean and Corgan went shopping with me, then I dropped them off at Jean's truck.  I came home, carried in the groceries, and put them all away (not that there was all that many).  Ron was asleep in his recliner - what a surprise.

I did remember to make a dessert for the fish fry up at church, and we dropped it off before we drove down the road.  I was glad that I remembered this week.  That's one thing I was determined to do this Lent - make a dessert every week for the Fish Fry, and I had already forgotten the very first week!  But I made it up this week, I think.


Saturday ended up being our nice quiet day.  Ron piddled around outside, while I piddled around inside and we got a bunch of stuff done, but nothing accomplished.  One of those days!
It was beautiful outside - close to 70 degrees! - and we had both doors open and just enjoyed the day.
When Ron came in, we played a game of mini-golf on the Wii, then watched dead guys the rest of the night.  We had eggs for our lunches, and we made mackerel and fried potatoes for our supper, so we kept our "abstinence" promise for the day, too.

Sunday.  Church and lunch.  Lunch at the Barn.  YUM!!  Ron had a Mushroom-n-Swiss burger and onion rings instead of his fried chicken dinner, while I had my usual Bacon Cheeseburger and fries.
Then it was home and piddling around again.  After a while, we played mini-golf on the Wii, then Ron watched some dumb car crap on TV and when he slept through a whole episode, I turned on dead guys, which made him wake up and say, "Hey! I was watching that!" but I just laughed at him and that was that.  Dead guys it was....

And so -- another week will start.
