Sooooooo,
After I posted yesterday, I started to notice that the house was a little warm. So, I checked the thermostat and watched it for a while. Outcome- broken A/C... again... times 4. SERIOUSLY?!
The facts:
1) when we moved in 4 years and and 2 months ago, we knew the A/C needed to be replaced soon.
2) we have done something too it every year to fix it up
3) the hubby went to school for HVAC and is now able to diagnosis and/or fix at a lower cost
4) after the hubby looked at it last night, he has diagnosed the problem and possible outcome.
5) we are hesitant to "fix" again- since we have put in so much money already
6) now awaiting A/C guy to double check the issue and possibly price new units.
UGH, we do not have the finances for this. But, I guess most people don't usually plan for their A/C units to die.
What I didn't plan for was the hot house last night and today. AWH. Two kids alone with mommy that is stressed out, upset, trying to work and HOT.
Not good, totally not good.
Weight: 191
S2F: slow and steady
Stay tuned and see if this mommy pulls all her hair out this week...............

Day 60 & 22
Weight: 191
Things are busy. To say the least.
36 days until school starts back up for the kiddos. (Momma is getting a little too excited.)
BigGirl ends her summer swim club this week. But, we are now trying to decide if she is going to move on to the Year-round swim team. Decisions Decisions Money.
LittleMan is starting his new part-time preschool next month too. Can't wait to have something for him to do a couple hours a day, twice a week.
The house is falling apart left and right. I have been researching the new items we need, and of course, praying for a new job for the hubby. So we can afford to finish the house.
Here is what is needed to get the house done of the outside:
Front door (steel & top window) - to be painted too
Front Storm door (full glass and half screen, heavy)
House to garage door (solid, steel) and another for garage to backyard.
Three insulated garage doors
One garage door opener
Third garage extension to existing 2 garage
Remaining Rolox Triple Panel Windows & Slider (4 regular, 1 small, 1 bay, 1 slider)
Fix gutters
Strip front half brick
Install Fiber Cement Siding
Build new front Porch
Complete Finish Gate
Build Swingset
Cement slab for A/C
New A/C
4 Escape basement windows
*** And this is just to outside***
for the Inside:
ALL Three Bathrooms redo
Kitchen from scratch
Gut Basement- make 2 bedrooms and open hallway
Redo Basement stairs covering
Then DECORATE! Paint, curtains, bedding etc.
Now, who has the money to donate?! LOL!
S2F~
I am getting back to my usual speed... 11 minute miles. Not fast, but at least it is movement.

Changes... Days 51+
Good Morning Y'all!
Yes, I am still here.
Yes, I am still tracking my food and my exercise.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
But, what is happening is I don't have all the time in the world right now.
So there will be changes.
I will blog, but not daily and with only the morning weigh in.
To be honest, it takes away from my little family to blog throughout the day.
But feel free to comment any questions you may have about food our whatever you like.
Day 54
Weight: 192
S2F Day #15
3 miles
Holiday WEEK,
yeah, since when in Independence DAY a week long celebration. I am already tired of hearing fireworks every night. And we watched a town fireworks show on Saturday night. AKA JUNE 30. What the!?
Seriously, this is crazy weird.
BigGirl is really taking a liking to summer swim club. She wants to stay in it year round... can we say $$$$. We have been talking about it and trying to see if we can figure it out. One of the teenage coaches she has had lately is the tough guy she needs. She didn't want to jump in the pool, so he tossed her in. Needless to say, I laughed, the head coach laughed, she did her swim and she then jumped in the next times around. Tough love for my BigGirl is needed. But in the end, she LOVES it. I told the head coach, that he needs to push and be tough, if she comes home crying we will talk then, otherwise, go for it. And mommy was right, she thrives.
Until next time....

3 miles was on the schedule. However 108 degrees was the weather. I will have to make this up, but I have no fear. I am looking for other options on indoor running (besides my basement treadmill) and I will get it in.
Life:
It is crazy, kids are crazy, weather is death, house is a mess, yard is a mess, house is falling apart all the sudden, and the hubby is still looking for a job that pays more than $8 an hour. (can we say high school wages?) SO FRUSTRATING.
BigGirl is rocking out the summer swim club, and we are going to look like into keeping her going, one way or another. And while I type, we are watching the swimming olympic trials AGAIN tonight. The hubby and I love watching swimming before, now we watch it with Big Girl and in a WHOLE NEW perspective. We asked BIG Girl what she wants to be when she is older.
#1- Rockstar Singer
#2- Olympic Swimmer
Hummm, very interesting.
LittleMan has given up on his Gym class. He doesn't enjoy it. He is the oldest by far and the tallest by far. Instead, he just drives me CRAZY!!

So this has been a very busy time. My birthday on sunday, littlemans burthday yesterday, A/C went out on Monday (aka 105 degrees day #3, making today excessive heat warning day #5). Luckily, I have an HVAC certified hubby, that fixed in on monday night and we then enjoyed dinner out at a small diner that night. And they even had the olympic swim trials on in the diner. WONDERFUL! :-)
SO I am going to do a mash up of the last 2 days on calories. Monday was a 90 degree in the house day, so many water was on the diet.
Weight both days 192.2 lbs
Monday intake: 1462 and a small pool worth of water
S2F #8 - Rest day (replaced from 2 mile)
Tuesday intake: 1778 (littlemans chocolate buttercream superman cake)
S2F #9 - 2 mile in 25 minutes on treadmill burnt 369
So sorry for the boring post, but was wanting to get caught back up.
