Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. I hope you are having a great day so far. It's a very windy start to the morning here with thunderstorms within the next hour. Yes, more rain 
It's supposed to rain all day.
I woke up this morning around 1:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep. No pain or anything, just wide awake. I would have thought I would have slept really good since I was so active yesterday but I guess the joke is on me. I may lay back down later since I only slept 2 1/2 hours but only if I get tired.
I weighed this morning and I've lost a total of 9.6 pounds. This past week has been slow on weight loss but I knew it would be. My first week is always great then it's like pulling teeth to lose more after that. It can be frustrating at times but I know that's how my body works. I just have to be more active.
Those strawberries in the photo look really good and the ones we got from Meijers were just as big and beautiful. I will probably have some for breakfast. I like to have them with a serving of cool whip which is very low in calories. The only problem with these strawberries is that some of them are quite bitter. I may have to add Splenda to them or buy some kiwi which will sweeten them up.
Today is laundry day as usual. Nothing much changes here but that's ok because I prefer a set routine anyway. I still need to work on my aquarium with the algae but I'm not sure if I will do it today. I will have to move my fish from the big tank to the small one and then go from there. So, that's my day, what do you have planned for today?

I have done some online work for school, and returned a call to my sister who needed me to find her a phone number. I woke up very early with a headache. Not doing too much today, really.

Those strawberries look delicious. I love cool whip too and it gives a nice touch for little calories.
It's just the usual routine here today....chores first then I want to read my book.

@Marilynda1225 I can understand. I'm that way too although I do try and read an hour every night but I don't always make it.

@simone10 I've been on a red grapes kick for weeks now.
I haven't had as much time to read as I would like. I keep letting myself get distracted. Usually I have a book by my side and read at least some every day. But lately reading has been on the back burner.

I hate those nights when I get very little sleep and then end up yawning the day away.
You got rid of the excess water weight. Now onto getting rid of the extra pounds. Yes, that is more work, but it's worth it.
Those strawberries look good. I hope yours are delicious with a little added sweetener.
I need to do laundry too. But without a car, it's almost impossible. I might do it tomorrow at my sons since he needs to pick me up in the morning anyway for a hospital appointment.

You are right, it is hard work but even if I barely lose for the week, I am happy. I know at my age and not being able to exercise much, it will be a slow process. I hope you were able to get your laundry done. I know how it feels to be without a car.

"and I've lost " when you lose something you go looking for it--from now on "I got rid of...." also when you weigh yourself (ONCE A WEEK ONLY!!!) take your measurements at the same time---women lose inches without losing weight every other week or so.
I have fresh strawberries for dessert at dinner every night when I eat at home--like 7 nights a week now!

You are right! I will have to say I got rid of. Try as I might, I can't wait a week to weigh. I am a scale-a-holic! I've been having strawberries every night too. We've also been adding blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. I only have a cup so im still good.
