198.5 this AM. WHICH, I'm a bit shocked about. I expected to be back over 200. I am SO sore so I thought for SURE I'd have water retention out the wazoo. I mean, I was chugging water like none-other, but I was sweating like a SOW! I mean, it was pouring off of me! But we managed to get a whole lot done and now we can really relax when we have date night tonight! :D I plan on being pretty good. I do plan on a glass of wine and maybe half a lower sugar dessert. But other than that, I want to stay on plan. Shouldn't be too hard. That's why I love LC - it's easy to stay on plan even when going out if you know what to look for. You may get some carbs sneaking in at times, but for the most part you learn how to order pretty quick. The only thing is, I think my cooking is better than theirs many times! LOL
Anyways, like I said, we got a LOT done! We made our run to the dump this AM and then stopped for an errand. It was nice to finish up today and feel like we had made some progress. Now if we can only have a few more days being productive like this, we'll get somewhere. Sadly, the hubbs goes back to work tomorrow so I'm not sure what that will bring. Guess we will have to wait until he is off again. On a bad note, our insurance is giving us a hard time about repairs to the house. They are saying that due to the 'condition' of the home and the age, they aren't willing to pay full replacement cost. Uhhh... isn't that the POINT of insurance is to cover the cost of current replacement??? The guy who came acted like our house was a dump. I explained that we were remodeling and that we had bought the house in rough shape. AND that we were making repairs as we could since it was in such bad shape and was costing a small fortune. He just looked around like it was a shambles. Yes, some paint and trim isn't done, but OMG you should've seen this place before!!!! You wouldn't believe it. We've done the best we could between expanding our family, extensive repairs, job changes, and freaky weather. Even the neighbors here have said that they are relieved that we bought it and started cleaning it up. We apologized about the length of time, and they said considering how bad the outside was, they knew that we were doing our best because the inside had to have been bad, too. It was. We had some structural damage to boot. Plus mold. SO, I was rightfully annoyed at the rude behavior of the Adjuster. We called to complain today. They said they would call us back but they DID apologize for his brusk behavior. I hate being treated like a child. I know we look very young, but I just turned 31. I don't need to be spoken to as if I'm an 18yr. old, wet behind the ears, kid!
On another front, I am trying to be more positive. I have been getting back to responding to blogs and hoping that by being supportive to everyone else, I'll somehow start to believe in myself again and what this journey is really about. I keep telling myself not to be disappointed in where I am and not to let it get me down because just like I've said and told countless others, at least I am where I am and not up. Maintaining or slowly losing is better than gaining. But I just feel like I'm failing right now. I keep thinking that I should've made it further and if I had just buckled down, I could be at goal. UGH. I feel like it will be next year before I am even close to where I need to be. Not that there is any shame in that, just that sometimes when I talk about my weight and whatnot, people look like, yeah, right! I shouldn't care what they think. I shouldn't be berating myself. But I have been. My plan of attack has been to try to be positive and support others in hopes that it rubs back into my brain. LOL Is it working yet? Not really. But I am going to keep trying.
Well, this is all for today. Going to try to get going and get in a few more things before our date night. Have a good weekend, chickies!
P.S. I may not write again until Sunday. Busy busy busy!
Uhg, don't you hate when companies or rather employees treat you like garbage? I recently had that happen at the car repair shop. I told the service guy that my check engine light was on again only a week after having the car serviced and added that the problem must not have been fixed the first time. He preceeded to tell me that the light could be on for a 1000 different reasons, yada yada... I looked at him and just smiled and then told him, yeah I know, but I do know how to use a Actron code reader and, umm yeah it's the same code as last time. The look he had was priceless. Just because I'm a young woman doesn't mean that I don't know a thing or two about cars!
