I haven’t been able to blog for the past two weeks because I have been up at my mom’s house. My husband and I have finally got the house ready for sale. All the walls and ceilings are washed. The only furniture left in the house is the bed we were sleeping on. The packing seemed endless. We still have lots to unload and unpack but I have a sense of accomplishment just reaching this step.

The bad part about this final trip was the fact we ate out almost every meal. Once we had the pans all packed and the refrigerator cleaned, it was every meal. Needless to say, I gained weight instead of losing. I got on the scale this morning for the first time in ages and was so dishearted.

I found it so hard to believe I could have gained weight working like I did on the house. Every bode and muscle in my body was hurting. I was up and down the basement stairs so much, my knees felt like they had been hit with a baseball bat.

I’m hoping some of my weight gain is water weight. I didn’t take my meds too often while I was at mom’s. One of them is a water pill which also helps with my high blood pressure. I’ll give myself a week and weigh in again.

Mom just got up so I’m heading off to the kitchen to have a cup of coffee with her….and take my meds!!!
