Fell off the wagon a bit.

So, I stopped posting daily weight updates. Thought about it, sounded about as exciting as watching turtles race. But a quick update.

It has been a week of repairs around here.
My brakes were pulsating in my Infiniti. The car needs new pads and rotors all the way around. Awesome!!! Infiniti dealership was almost $3,000 to do it. Brake Team, $565 with better pads, and comparable rotors. I don't like paying $565, but I like it much better than $3,000. That was Monday.

Monday night, the dishwasher would not drain. I could not figure out the problem, so I had to call a appliance repair shop to fix my dishwasher. Although Kristin wanted to just replace the damn thing. There was an obstruction in a very bizarre place as it turns out. The guy fixed that and made some small tweeks, and our dishwasher is washing better than it has in a while. Way cool. The repair was $72, which wasn't too bad considering it included his drive time. The repair was done by Appliance Guys, which I found from Angies List. These guys were excellent from first call to completion. Clean, effeciant and they even took care of other small things to make our appliances better.

Tomorrow is all about repairing me. I am getting a hour long massage tomorrow to hopefully loosen up some of my muscles and tendons in my legs and back. Cristie Cooke is my massuse and she does a great deep tissue massage that always leaves my muscles feeling much better when I leave.

As far as weight goes, I kinda fell behind on weighing myself today. Monday I was down to 226.2 pounds, which is almost 4 pounds in one week, which is pretty amazing. However, Monday night with a pile of dishes we couldn't do, and having the kitchen torn up trying to fix the dishwasher, we ordered pizza for dinner. I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but I am sure I gained some weight. In six good days, I lost almost 4 pounds. What if science really has found an all natural solution to weight loss? Time will only tell, but my hopes are up.
