Today's weight - 191.2

Whew, definitely better today. Down to 191.2 after being up to 195.6 on Saturday!

Healthy You Challenge

Well, coming back from Arkansas my weight was up about 6 pounds. It's coming back down. I always need to give my body a chance to adjust back to altitude, plus it was that time of the month. Did my buns & thighs workout yesterday and the first two levels of the Bender Ball core workout. Today I woke up with a killer headache and was nauseous, so it was tending toward a migraine. Took my meds and have been taking it easy and feeling a bit better.

We have 4 chocolate parties this week. M, Tu, W and F. Yikes! Last night's went well. I'm thinking Fridays party is iffy and I'm actually hoping the hostess cancels! Yeah, I'm bad! ;-) The parties make walking in the evenings impossible. I think I'm going to start just scheduling them on Wed and Fri. Four is TOO MANY! I love the sales I'll have for July though. :-D

Hope everyone is doing well! I'm going to need to make chocolate so I probably won't get to visit many today. Will try for a few a day.

Summer travel

I was happy to get a chance to visit with a friend from high school who lives in the same KS town as our nephew and his family. Looking at the photos of us, I realized - I have a HUMONGOUS head! No wonder I can't wear too many hats. LOL

My great niece is my very special buddy. She's a cute little munchkin and we had fun reading books together and playing a Littlest Pet Shop board game. Her little brother showed me how awesome he is on the Wii Mario Kart. (Obviously, even mineral makeup doesn't cut the SHINE I get in the higher humidity. And I know there are lots of places more humid, and I don't like ANY of them. I'll take my mountains, thank you very much!!!!!!)

Taking a "break"?

I'm in Arkansas. I did 3 chocolate parties in 24 hours. Woohoo! :-)

My mom took a fall in the kitchen yesterday. (Doing too much, as always!) She's OK, but twisted her ankle, so it's hurting. But not swollen or turning ugly colors, so I'm pretty sure nothing is broken or sprained. She might have pulled a tendon a bit. It hurts when she lifts her toes. That's the tendons, right?

Not sure if their scale is the same as mine. I feel all bloated from the humidity. Will have to see if there's any "damage" when I get home to my mountain. :-D

Reward for exercise challenge

OK, I was going to get a massage for a reward, but instead, today I went to Victoria's Secret and spent more for a bra than I ever do on shoes. I just wanted one that FIT and I wanted someone to HELP me find it in the style I wanted. (That just doesn't happen at Walmart, I end up trying on 20 bras with nary an offer of help!) I don't like underwires and VS has very little to choose from that's wireless, but the one I got is very comfortable and pretty, too. For another reward I may go back and buy one in another color. ;-)

But let's just say the experience of trying on bras points out some weak areas. Need to do some upper body work!
