Well, still haven't lost any more weight. But haven't gained any either, which is good. And I traveled last week to Reno for business, so it is hard to diet when traveling with others. I did work out every morning I was away, but then didn't workout before leaving or after returning. Otherwise, the only exercise I got was raking leaves for about an hour yesterday and doing some painting on my house. More rant about that later...

I did read an excellent book. I think it's titled "a pretty fat" by Jen Lancaster. I've never laughed while reading a book so much ever before!  This overweight woman chronicles her weight loss in the book - it's funny and realistic too! I highly recommend it. One caveat - the language is a little rough. Realistic, but rough for some.

Did anyone else see The Biggest Loser the past two weeks?  Two weeks ago, it ended great (at least I thought so). They sent home the nasty lady's husband because he fell below the yellow line. They so deserved that! I was sad to see Colleen voted off this past week. Boy, she looks good in her current photos. I'm anxious to see what happens next with Vickie - man, usually the contestants are pretty on the inside and overweight on the outside. This lady is ugly on the inside - you just can't fix that as easily I guess. She really is all about the money and the game - losing weight just seems like a side effect. Okay - enough about that for now.

Can I fuss about my house some more now? Due to impending divorce and the fact that I can't really afford my house, I've got to get it ready for sale. Mind you, I am doing it all alone now since my husband is in Louisiana and my daughters have both moved out and will no longer help. And I don't know how to do a lot of the stuff which involves plumbing, electric, etc. If I can't afford to keep my house, I can't afford to pay a whole bunch of money to get it fixed either. So, I'm just overwhelmed with trying to do the little I can. Meanwhile, it takes up all of my free time, so I can't work out or get anything else done. I really need to clean good per my realtor's instructions, but I hate to clean if I have to keep doing work on the house and it will get dirty again. AGGHGGGH!   I always feel like I get stuck "holding the bag", "cleaning up someone else's mess", etc. I'm so sick of it. It's just one thing that is overwhelming me currently. Work is crazy busy, I'm trying to get paperwork together for my daughter to move to her grandparents, get ready for the holidays, pay bills, etc. And I went to my weekly therapist appointment and she forgot me. It's a standing appt. so should be a no-brainer. She was completely apologetic and I've been late lots of times, so I guess I had it coming. Sheesh!

Well, I have eaten pretty good today, despite how I feel. Tonight will be the real test. Maybe a bowl of cereal will do okay. Pretty low in calories and I've had my big salad for lunch already. Stopping at one bowlful will be the trick.

Thanks for reading my post and listening to my rant and whining. Tomorrow is a new day.

Hope everyone is having a good day and will have a great week!
