Work!

I'm pretty excited about this work though. Greg and I decided to use our tax money to put up a new fence either by paying a company to do it or getting help from Dad. Dad said he would love to do it so we penciled him in for the job. It was a bit hectic at first because Greg and I really had no idea what was involved and it was cold and rainy when Dad came up to start.

He taught us how to concrete posts in exactly straight and we continued with that. This weekend we tore down the rest of our fence with the help of Greg's mom and a neighbor. Because the fence was down, we got to meet our neighbor behind us, who offered to help also.

It's really coming along and once we can get Dad back up here to help measure holes out and dig them up we can finish the rest of the posts. I can't wait to see the final product and we would love to now build a deck some day. That will most likely be years from now though.

My weight has been staying down but stuck. I need to get back on it. My doc wants me to work out 30 minutes a day and start off small.

I'm happy and can't wait for the warmer weather!!

According to the Dr's scale I've lost 12 lbs!!

My home scale is a bit harder to tell. It's about 1-2 lbs off from the dr's scale.

I went the dr's because my left chest was hurting a lot. I let it go for a bit thinking it was asthma related and finally went in today. Dr. diagnosed it as Costochondritis.

It's basically an inflamation of the cartiledge that attaches your ribs to your breast bone or sternum. I asked her if thats the case then why is the pain all over my left side. She said its because it can effect all over the rib cage. She basically said the cause of something like is either stress or a viral infection or bacteria from an operation. I think on me it was the viral infection.

Interesting huh? Well, I'm glad I finally know what it is and can move on from worrying. I tend to worry too much but its better than letting things go right?

Fun filled weekend

Well Greg's birthday was Monday so we celebrated Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday! It was a lot of fun. We went to dinner with Mom, Jim and Lia on Friday to Benihana which was a great time!

Saturday I had a test in the morning at school then came home to some prepping for the party, a nice nap, then friends galore for the night. We had the UFC fight on and Jim played some great songs! I tried drinking light beer and only had one piece of pizza. But we had a pretty big delicious cake in which I had two pieces.

Sunday we went to BJ's Mongolian Grill with his mom and that was fun and good. I had only one bowl with a salad. Monday we ate some more cake, Potbelly's deli style sandwhiches and I forget what we did for dinner.

I weighed myself after all this and was back up a few but now I'm back down a few. I'm still about 2 lbs above my lowest recent weight but I'm still a total of 8 lbs down which is awesome!

Now its time to get back into the swing of things and get closer to my first goal!
