Thank goodness this round is almost over and there's only one more day of injections. If you look below my weight loss stopped at 180 this round. For now, I think I'm okay with this. I did my best and in previous years I was at this weight for a long time.

I need to break down and go to the doctor as this sinus infection that I've been fighting for the past three weeks is not getting any better. I think three weeks is long enough to let something fester:) It is starting to really effect my ability to function, my time at the gym is a struggle to get through, and I wake up several times during the night. This is my third infection in a short span of 8 months. This is odd for me, because I remember going years without getting sick. Perhaps dieting weakens the immune system? I'm just taking a wild guess. I have traveled extensively over the years and have never gotten ill.

Last week our basement flooded. The stuff that was down there is now drying out in our dining room and living room. Just seeing the the stuff I have to deal with is a bit of a challenge. I can't start to deal with it until everything is completely dry. There really aren't a huge amount of items because we've moved so many times over the years that the accumulation never gets that bad. Its little things like pictures, books, sun deck furniture, sewing stuff, dishes, files, etc. I went to Target the other day and Rubbermaid boxes to but everything into instead of cardboard. So if the flooding happens again the tubs will be waterproof!

This round was an experiment as I took a three week break in between this round and the last round. I probably won't do this again any time soon. The first two weeks were okay, but the last one was a challenge to get through.

I need to whine for a second here: I had dreams of hitting 175 this time around and getting down to 160 by the end of May. I have to reorganize my thoughts....I think getting to 170 by the end of May is a better goal. I just want this to come off so I can be done losing weight, ALREADY! I have another 50 pounds to go before my final goal of 130. I know I've come a long way already, but it seems like I still have a long way to go yet.
