more bad news ...

It just doesn't seem to be getting any better... just when I think things have settled down a bit and that I can focus on other things something comes up!? The weekend was good, it was a long weekend and we worked at the track all weekend, long hours but it was OK. Jacob stayed at his Grandparents all weekend and had tons of fun helping Grandpa build a new sun room on the house. Then Monday night we got a call ... my FIL had cut his thumb off, or at least a big part of his thumb!!? All I can really say is Thank God it wasn't when Jacob was there! I would hate to see the mess it caused and I would hate for Jacob to see his Grandpa in that much pain! We still don't really know how bad it is and I'm waiting to hear, I suppose I'll find out tonight but it sure doesn't sound too good!

Tonight is Tuesday and according to my new schedule that I made ... I plan on seeing my Dad tonight, by myself, this way I can have a little bit of conversation with him without getting interrupted by Jacob. It is also the first Tuesday of the month which means it's grocery shopping day and since I didn't go last month I should really go tonight! So ... it looks like I will be going to visit my Dad and then shopping after so it might be a long night!? :(

On the weight loss front ... there really isn't much change. You know it's been a long time when your weigh in ticker tells you you need to update it!!?? So, I really haven't been following the plan and up until recently I haven't been gaining any, just staying around the 205 mark, 2lbs up or down. But this morning I weighed in and maybe it's just water weight from the weekend but I was up 5lbs!? I hate my life!! Dieting SUCKS! and I hate being the size I am, I wish I would have tried harder when I was on mat leave and so much closer to my pre-pregnancy pants then I am now!? I am seriously considering trying the IP diet. I found out that my SIL was on it for 4 months and lost 50lbs! I really need to see those kind of results and I understand that after I get to goal I will probably put on a few just from going back to eating carbs and this will have to be a life time change... a forever thing and it will take A LOT more work for me to stay on it. As I will have to do a lot more prep work, no more counting on hubby to make the things I need for supper. Most things he cooks tend to come out of a box, so I will have to pre make a bunch of chicken breasts and have salad ready to go. We also tend to enjoy the veggies that are more high carb, carrots and corn so I will have to pre make my veggies. It will take more work but if I can see results that fast I think I'm willing to do it! I just have to make sure I AM willing to do it!!

So it seems like Mom is getting better, Dad is adjusting to his new home and we are slowly getting things out of his house. I am thinking of taking a bunch of photos of things to post on our Craig list in hopes to sell or have a garage sale but the weather might not let us do that this year. It is getting awfully cold out really fast!!
