Weighin Week 96

Weight 227.5

Only a 4.5 lb gain this week - so it seems the weight gain is slowing down. And I know it’s not all from water retention this week. I wasn’t as strict as I usually am - I know there were a few licks of the peanut off the knife after making my daughter a sandwich, and couple extra tastes of some yummy soups my hubby made. Due to the lack of weight loss progress, those pesky bad habits have creeped back in, but before I let them sabotage my overall health and food plan I will be extra vigilant next week. “Constant Vigilance” (a quote from Harry Potter book)

Next week I know I need to be extra cautious because I’ll be a bit more stressed then usual. Starting the week off with my echocardio gram on Monday - not a big deal just any doctor visit is a bit stressful, on the bright side it’s early in the morning and I’m taking the whole day off, so I’ll have the afternoon home to blog and surf the web! I’m a bit bummed about the week coming up though because Teacherman (hubby) is going on the senior class trip to Disney World in Florida. He leaves Wed. and returns Monday. It will be odd not having him around. Plus our daughter, Angelgirl, has a very busy week with play practice late (so I have to some how figure out to get her from school by 5 but I work until 4:30) and her weekend is even busier so I’ll be driving her around Saturday and Sunday, and on top of that it turns concert tickets hubby bought several months ago just arrived and they are for Friday night! We have no idea why it took so long to get them, we had forgotten about it. At the time we were planning to go we got 5 (2 for us, 1 for a friend and we plannned on inviting 2 more) - but now I don’t even want to go. So I’ll just contact the friend we were going to take so she knows about the concert and see if can use all 5. Or maybe I’ll take Angelgirl along - she probably won’t enjoy it but it would be nice to expose her to the music. The concert is for the Chieftians, and it’s being held locally. I just love their music (Irish folk) and it’s been years and years and years since I’ve been to a concert.

I’ll muddle through and I’m sure it will all work out just fine. And I have my new hobby, “dropping” Entrecards all over the web to keep me busy. LOL If you haven’t noticed, take a look at the graphic to the top right. I am really enjoying Entrecards - it’s free, and a fun way to find new blogs, get traffic, and spread your own blogs entrecard in free ads around the web (ads are purchased with ec credits you earn by dropping and visiting other blogs). There is no referral bonus, so I’m only mentioning it because I am enjoying it and thought I’d mention it to my readers as something they might enjoy also. If you do decide to give it a try, let me know so I an “drop” in on you. I even learned how to make the 125×125 graphic for my blogs - using photoshop and then searching on line “resize image” (who knew there were free online sites to do that - how very cool!). I must admit I’m very very proud of myself to figuring it out - I really am very technological challenged when it comes to computer\internet\graphic stuff.

Here are my 3 Entrecards for my blogs:

The graphic below was created by Brahnamin for a blog that I co-author with my friend Mama Kelly - I just resized it to 125×125 for the ecard, it links to our holding site on Blogger for 2 Witches Blog (because our main site is on Wordpress, which doesn’t allow the Entrecard widget).
