Whew! I'm 199 Lbs!
I weighed myself this weekend, and I'm 199 Pounds! I had gained a few from my old low of 200 and finally beat it back and am now continuing with my weight loss.
I also caught the flu and a cold and was laid out of a bout a week.
I had to quit doing yard work for a week, and it's all on me now so I'm playing catch up for the week.
I also took on some work on the yard next door that is for sale, and I am trying to clear off our common fence.
I can tell I've been building strength since taking that up. Now I know why all the little old ladies who are always puttering in thier gardens are so tiny. Gardening is strenuous work!
I can now tolerate doing hours and hours of it instead of wimping out after a half hour.
I have to limit myself to the early morning hours during this heat wave, but it keeps me from getting too worn out.
I have had a couple run ins with poison ivy but now do the Hand-Sanitizer (gel alcholol) wash and cold rinse followed by pouring straight dawn dish soap on my skin like it's lotion, and cleaning down with that and the double treatment removes all the volatile oils from my skin and the rash never gets bad.
I was weed eating yesterday and a bit hit my eyelid, and when it began to blister up last night so I did the treatment and it worked! Thank goodness or I'd have been forced to go to the doc.
I am giving away my huge couch this weekend. Once the couch goes away I will spread out the chairs and put more books in there and and look for a cute antique love seat to better fit the room. I am getting rid of furniture that is not the right scale for the room, and have gone through all of my files once and weeded out about 10 file cubes worth of files I don't need. I save the inside stuff for when the weather is not any good outside (too hot, too wet or too dark) so far it seems to balance out. Still need work done on my outbuilding roof though.
Just been really busy - posting more on Facebook lately.
