Christmas Dress Challenge week 5

Christmas Dress Challenge

Last week's wt.      166.2
This week's wt.      165.0
Difference                 1 .2

I was so busy last week I didn't have time for much of anything but I did manage to do 2 workouts. Also, can I count stripping a cabinet as a workout? I think I can as we worked on it from around 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and it definitely involved using some muscle. I did watch what I ate all week last week so I ended up with what looks like a good loss but considering I gained last week, it's only .8 lbs in reality.

One day's work - one can of stripper

So much more to go.

Friday Hops

Time to head over to Hilary's at Feeling Beechie for Follow Friday Four Fill in

My Answers:

1. I am afraid of spiders - creepy, crawly, and way too many legs.
2. My kitchen is my favorite room of my house.  
3. The last time I got a speeding ticket I couldn’t really afford it so I decided to stop pushing my luck - now I drive like a grandma.       
4. I got my first snowman Christmas ornament when I was down home in TN many years ago and now my entire tree is nothing but snowmen. 

Now to Mama M's  of My Little Life for Five Question Friday:

1. Where do you escape to when you've had enough?

My kitchen - usually end up baking something - gets my mind off of things.

2. What shows are you watching this fall?

I plan on watching "Bones" when the new season starts.

3. What was the longest roadtrip you've ever taken and where did you go?

From Normal,IL to Orlando on spring break eons ago.

4. Do you plan on taking your kids to Disney World?

My kids are 28 and 26 and we never went - maybe my grandkids when I have some!

5. What is something people would surprised to know about you?

I'm not a very surprising person - usually quiet - I learned a long time ago that you can learn a lot by keeping your mouth shut and your ears open - I guess people could be surprised to learn that I can do just about anything any construction worker can do. My ex did that kind of work (when he actually worked) and I got right in there and helped.

Almost Friday - Already

Does anyone besides me notice that the days are going by faster and faster? I could swear that I just started on this "team project" yesterday and I just realized that it is due the coming Monday! That's just 3 days away. And why is it that it seems to be just me and ONE other team member (who is also a non-traditional student) doing all the work on this thing. There are two other "team members" who (kids of course) have done ... hmmm.....NOTHING! Was I like that when I was younger? I don't remember ever shirking my responsibilities...

Ok - done ranting now.
