Its Whacky Weigh In Wednesday

128.8 today. Scared me yesterday to see 127.0 but the scale was sitting on a big wad of cat hair. LOL. Time to clean that bathroom floor I guess.

Hump day in the middle of the week when I'm covering for a girl in my office...sigh...busy! And from doing her computer input, my neck is killing me. Need a neck rub. dh will want to do that but he's not ah,,,very good at that.

Have a great day/week everyone!

Put me down for 1.5!  Yay!  I guess something's working right.  Now, to get these pesky 19 last pounds off and maintain it! 

Found out yesterday I have mandatory 1 hour of overtime every night until they're done with leak survey here.  Ok, I'll take it.  Working till 4:30 instead of 3:30. 

Got a bit of a wild hair last night and laid into a project I've been putting off.  Muscled out the carpet from my back room (ok, 2/3'rds of it anyway) and pulled up the tack strip.  That carpet was SO NASTY!!!  When my brother-in-law and his girlfriend stayed with us for a year they kept their dog back there and apparently it peeeeeed all over the place and they didn't clean it up right.  So, my dogs would pee over the the spots the other dog peed on.  So, carpet out.  Almost ready to pain the floor.  We're going to paint it with garage floor paint or linoleum.  Most likely the garage floor paint. 

Ok, gotta run.  Need to go mediate a dispute between son and daughter.  Started last night and son is clearly in the wrong and literally threw his sister under the bus over a roommate that will only be there for the next 6 weeks and then moving to South Carolina.  Ugh.

MoMo, have you checked out the concrete stains they are gorgous! It is what I will be using in "The Room" when it comes time. Here is a web site  www.superdeck.com
When they came to pull our old carpet that was being held together with dog hair I thought the one guy was going to vomit it was so nasty!!I was gross!

Anyway, good luck with your floor.

That stuff looks pretty cool.  I will show the old man.  We were looking at a garage floor paint that is a light gray in color with tri color triangle "flecks" in it to give it dimension.    Easy Peasy to take care of!

Just thought I'd make a suggestion to you about the stains.  When we were redoing our den as our jacuzzi room, we also pulled up carpet and were going to use the stain as opposed to cement paint.  While checking it out, this very nice lady who worked at Home Depot was helping us and she pointed out that the stain soaks into the cement as opposed to being on top of the cement so any stains that are on the cement will not actually get covered.  If there is a dark area on the cement from a stain such as pet accidents, then when you put the cement stain over it, it will still be darker than the rest of room and still look like it has a pet stain on it.

I agree that the stains are much nicer looking then the paints, but only if you are going over a freshly cemented floor with no other stains on it.  If you do go with the paint, be sure to get some sand to put in your paint.  They sell it in little packets at the home improvement store usually right next to the cement paints and they will usually mix it in for you right there.  It just creates a bit of friction on the floor, otherwise the floor becomes very slippery.

Good Morning Janine and Cali Crew,

Janine, don't you worry my friend, that weight is there from surgery and nothing you did. You are too precious, it will come off once your body adjusts to everything.
Hang in there baby.

Barb thank you for doing WWW today,  you can put me down for a 2 pound loss. I can now get into size 10's. Woo Hoo!!!!!

Everybody have a blessed day.

Hugs & Love,

Karen

I don't understand how this happend.  I am up 4 pounds.  WTH?  I am not eating any more than I usually do.  I am so upset about this.  I have upped my exercise and I am only taking in between 700-900 calories (nothing new) a day.  This is crazy!  I am not happy  !!!

 Linda---as you know I am no expert as I have not made it to the bench yet--but are you getting enough protein and calories?  Is your body wanting to hold on too tight to what your have left because it thinks it is in the starvation mode?  Just a thought.  

Anyways you look terrific and soon that nasty stricture will not be an obstacle to your success!

You are in my prayers!    

I know I am not eating enough.  And in my (ok maybe warped) view of things, that it why I have been hanging on to the weight. I haven't really lost anything in almost 3 months.  But to Gain 4 pounds?  I even cut out the crackers!  and I am exercising more. (just cardio not weight training).  Sheesh!  not a good way to start the day.


Thank you Christi  I know in the big scheme of things, I have no right to complain, I know I have come a long way.  Just a little frustrated again with things.  But that is why I love this site so much.  People have a habit of putting things in a better perspective. 

Have a great day

Linda

Good Morning Janine & Cali Crew,

Happy Hump Day!! WhooooHooooo!! Well here is my number..are you ready for this? I know I have been losing since last wacky Wednesday, but my loss of 9lbs...is unbelievable...HOLY COW!!! 9lbs!!  I have been stalled for so long, then I really took a look at what I was eating & how much protein I was actually getting in. And I up'd the exercise.

It felt so good to put on my normal work black pants this morning and realizing they were too big...HA!  I never knew it could feel this good being a LOSER!!..lol

Hope everyone has a great day!
