I hate colds.

All of my kids have had colds the last couple of weeks. The youngest still has his and now I've caught it. I think I've gotten parts of all the colds though because I have a sore throat like the oldest and stuffy runny nose like the youngest and a sore tight chest from I don't know who because none of them were complaining about that but it might of been the youngest because I have a cough like his as well. I hope I can get better quickly but don't have much hope as I don't sleep well but anyway I do have some gingerale to make me feel better just like mom used to give us as kids when we weren't feeling well.

My weight has been up and down so much that its depressing writing about it. I am at about 12 pounds lost give or take a couple. I will feel good when I get to 14 lbs lost as that will be the 10% mark.

I'm not getting much done in the house or the garden I keep thinking that If I get a good nights sleep I'll be able to get stuff done and am still waiting for the good nights sleep.

I just want to thank you for taking the time to read and if you donate we very humbly thank you for your support.

Blood pressure check.

I had a doctors appointment this week and my blood pressure is finally starting to go down. After two years of trying to lose weight and exercise It finaly started going down. I don't remember what the top number is but the bottom one is 88 it usually sits at 94 or higher.

I lost .04 lbs this week and that puts my total loss at 12.4 I am finding that I am not as hungry in the evening so that helps some. I also have been getting my walk in almost every day now that the good weather is here I just walk around the block a few times. If I do the big block 6 times its 5100 steps but most times I do the short walk so I don't have to wait for the traffic light. I have to count the short walk and figure out how many I need to get my total. If I do 3 or4 blocks two or three times a day I'll be doing ok.

I am down to a size 10 in pants and they are a little loose but I am thinking that because they are old pants that they are a little stretched out but I don't want to try on new ones yet and find out that the 10's don't really fit so I'll just pretend for now as it gives me motivation and I need that for sure.

Happy May

I missed weighing in last week due to flooding. All our on and off ramps were under water from Wed night to Fri/Sat. I decided that I didn't want to drive all over both sides of the city to get weighed in so I waited until the kids went back to school and went this morning(kids had Friday and Monday off for teachers stuff and Thursday due to flooding).

I lost 1 pound this week and didn't get much walking in. I got lots of fresh air and some exercise if you count raking the yard as exercise. I hope to get back to the track tomorrow not holding my breath though lol.

Gotta start on the spring cleaning tomorrow as well I'll start with the kitchen since we spend most of our time there. I will start at the door and work my way around to the right that way I'll start out with the easier half of the work load.

Thats all for now.
