I told him fine until I pushed the lawn mower on Saturday and now I am hurting. He asked where and I showed him where my back was hurting. After looking at my chart he noticed that I had lost more weight since my last visit and commented on it. I told him it would have been more if I hadn't gained 7 pounds the week that my dad passed away. After explaining what happened and how my family acted he asked me what changes I had made that I have been "so successful in my weight loss" so he could tell some of his other patients that may be having trouble with their weight loss programs. I told him about SparkPeople and explained a little bit about it. I also told him that I was trying to eat 4-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones and that I have been trying to eat at least 1 and up to 3 servings of pistachios daily. I have noticed that when I was eating 1-3 servings a day I was losing weight faster than when I stopped. We talked a little more and then he gave me my B12 and cortisone shots. I told him that I had found a letter to take to the doctor explaining about SparkPeople and that I could get him a copy of it if he would like to see it. He said yes so I have been trying to find it now that I got back home and haven't been able to find the letter in SparkPeople anywhere. I don't remember where I found it and printed the one that I had taken to my general practitioner. I guess I will keep looking so I can get the information to him and "spread the Spark"!!!!

This is the second weekend in a row that hasn't been good. To start off, I left the house this morning to take DD to her soccer game and as I walked around my car to the driver's side I noticed that someone had spray painted my back door on the drivers side. I sent her to the house to her her dad as I called the police. He came out and looked at it and we sent our daughter to look at our other cars to see if any others had been vandalized. Luckily none had and we didn't notice that any of the other cars on our street had been hit either. He took her to the soccer field while I waited for the police to come take a report. After they made their report I headed to the soccer field. After her game and the game she had to referee we came home and fixed lunch. After eating I ended up going out to mow as my DH was at the garden planting and DD was too interested in what was on TV. She asked what I was doing and I told her that I was mowing as the landlord had just mowed (landlord lives next door) and since our yard was so high they probably would be mowing it for us and getting upset because we hadn't mowed. I went outside and mowed half of the front and along the north side before she decided to take over. I figure I had mowed for about 15-20 minutes. When she took over I came into the house and checked on my laundry. The load in the machine was done so I took it outside and hung it on the line. While I was downstairs at the washer I noticed water dripping. My DH came home and I told him to go downstairs and look at the mess. He came up saying that the sewer was backing up again. I told him that the landlord needed to be called. I also told him that the kitchen faucet needed to be replaced again also as it is spraying water everywhere. He called the landlord and she was busy getting ready for work so wasn't able to do anything about it.
I started supper then sat down for a while. Later after going to the basement, noticing that the water was dripping from above and hanging a couple more loads on the line I decided to check under the kitchen sink and found that everything under there was wet. Then I went into the bathroom and noticed water on the floor. Later while I was in the bathroom I heard a faint hissing. I started checking to see what was going on and noticed that the water intake for the toilet was spraying and that was where the water was coming from so I shut off the water supply. When I was outside I told my DH what had just happened. He called the landlord again and she said that she would send someone over tomorrow. So now we have to deal with the leaking toilet overnight and during the day tomorrow until she finally gets someone here to look at the 2 leaks.
I finished fixing supper and ate. After supper I fell asleep in the recliner for a while. When I woke up I could hardly move as I was in pain from doing the mowing earlier today. I decided to try some stretching to see about getting my back feeling better. I did about 10 minutes of stretching and a little more exercises and now have a headache in addition to being sore from mowing. Needless to say with my back the way it is pushing the lawn mower is not a good idea but had to get the lawn mowed so now I am feeling it. I still have to make my bed before I can go to sleep tonight
Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day

((((YOU))))) sending you hugs and prayers my friend... seems like when it 'rains' it 'pours'...... I am hoping by now that your landlord has sent someone over to fix your leaks/pipes... and that you are feeling ALOT better and NOT sore from your weekend exercise of mowing... Stretching was indeed a good move i think as it prolly relaxed your sore muscles somewhat... again.. hope that you and yours are doing well and have a sparky week ahead
