My little riding lawnmower is broken down. As you can see, my husband has it totally taken apart. All this for a darn $2.34 part. The steering went out on it two weeks ago while I was cutting a lawn. Actually, what happened is the darn thing, it quit turning to the right. All it would do is make a clicking noise when I turned the steering wheel. Needless to say, finishing that lawn by only being able to turn left was tricky. I was proud of myself though. I was able to finish the job.

This past week I’ve been busier than a bee. I’ve been working too many hours at the various places I volunteer. I haven’t had a free day this week and I am working tomorrow as well at the thrift store which is part of our local mission.
I got a phone call Thursday night and I start training next Wednesday for 5 days to work on the 2010 census. That’s going to be about 11 hour days by the time I drive there and back home.

Since I have renewed my weight loss efforts two weeks ago, I have successfully lost six pounds. I am still as committed to winning this weight loss battle. These are the things I’ve done in the past two weeks to lose six pounds:
1. I have been working 3 days a week cutting grass with a push mower for my husband’s lawn service . (4-6 hours each day)
2. I have been drinking approximately 10 (8 oz) glasses of water each day.
3. I am religiously keeping a journal of all my activities as well as what and when I eat.

We’ve been so busy with this lawn service the past two weeks. We had a three lawns that were really tough. Two of the jobs were on foreclosed homes. The grass was so tall it was like hay. Of course, there was all kinds of garbage in the yards we had to clean up first. The third property we had to cut and clean up was for an individual who has been placed in a nursing home. The lawn mower threw a piece of metal wire into the front of my leg cutting that yard. Yikes…that hurt. What a way to end a grass cutting season.

My sister has gone home but I am still losing weight. She called two days ago and she is continuing to gain weight. She has gained two pounds while I have lost 6 pounds. Both of us are happy.
I have had success and failure in many of my weight loss attempts. I sat down and thought out what I had done in the past to lose weight. I also thought about what my past weakness were that caused me to gain weight.
