Three Pounds!

I was up before the day dawned. I needed to go to the hospital for more blood work, and I knew that I needed to be there early to beat the crowds. I have been there when I have had to wait for two hours to get my blood drawn. So, today I was prepared.

I left my house at 6:45 and arrived at the hospital just after 7. I walked in, expecting the large crowd, and found the lobby strangely empty! I mean really empty!

I checked in with a nice young lady who was ready to help one and all, but had nothing to do because of the lack of patients. She has the cutest dachshund, and we talked dogs while she did my paperwork.

Then before I knew it, my name was called, blood drawn and off I went. It was 7:30!

I had planned on there being crowds, and this would occupy my time until Weight Watchers and I would breeze in and enjoy that meeting, but here I was two hours before the meeting was due to start!

I filled up the car with gas ($2.69 a gallon!) and then drove to the meeting hall. I decided to just sit and wait in the parking lot. I had the morning news paper and that would give me something to do.

However, when I arrived there was a woman there who does our weigh-ins. Her name is Tami and I have known her since my very first meeting when she weighed me in. She was doing a few bits of paper work, but welcomed the company.

She offered to weigh me in early so I could eat, and I quickly stripped down to my shorts and tank top to do this.

I LOST 3 POUNDS!!!!!

I was so happy, that the last three week plateau had been broken and I was on my way in the right direction!

Tami and I talked and talked until other people began to arrive for the meeting. Eventually the meeting began, and although it wasn’t the best meeting (in that some are both fun, funny and exciting) it was a good pep talk and got me ready for the week ahead.

I left and came back home and sort of had a sinking spell. I know I am getting old because I really need my sleep and I suffer when I don’t get it! LOL!

I was having a nice quiet afternoon when Greta went outside with Hubby for about half an hour. When she came in she smelled so bad I could not believe it!

Why do dogs have to go out, find the worst smelling pile of crap and then roll in it?

She is now bathed, AGAIN and smelling nice! At least I think she is, she may have other ideas!

  2. Each time when your poor dogs think that they smell good you bath them ! Apparently you don’t have the same taste ! If I understand well you came back from WW and because you lost 3 pounds who gave yourself a treat of 3 big hamburgers, lol !
    I think you don’t get old, because I only need 6 h sleep and am always up with the chickens and I am old !!

  6. WHOOOO HOOOO! You must be getting REALLY close to goal now! WOW! That is GREAT! WELL done!

    LoL! I wish Jewl only weighed in the teens so I could just PLOP her in a tub and quick quick scrub her up! She is forever rolling in nasty and 85 pounds doesn’t clean up so easy…

  7. Congratulations!!!! When you hit your goal weight you should post before/after pictures because I never thought you needed to lose weight anyway.

    By the way…here in Germany you have to pay for ONE litre of gas (super) between 1,30…to 1,60 Euro!!!! It is very expensive to fill up the tank…
