You're Gonna Lose That Weight: Saturday Stuff

I know that it has been a really, really long time since I last wrote a post. Part of it is being busy with getting everything that a teacher needs to get done at the end of the school year. Another part of it is that I have been very wishy-washy with my eating and exercise. I'm back up to 189 again because of it. I was really wanting to walk out of school on the last day at 185. The odds are stacked against me now, since I only have until Thursday! Yesterday I pushed myself to try to eat better and I did. I'm going to try to only eat things that I know work for me and cut back on the candy bars, cookies, or temptations that may arise in the teachers lounge.
On Saturday I began my day with shopping for groceries. I may or may not have walked around a number of stores I didn't need to be in just to ~~get in some extra steps on my pedometer~~ look at clothes and sales. I got almost 6,000 steps by noon!

I got this at Fashion Bug for $8 and thought it might be nice for the upcoming vacation.

Only $1.50 for three pairs of underwear. I can't believe I found them at Walgreen's of all places.

I spent the afternoon mowing the yard and pulling some weeds. It was in the high 80's, so it was definitely good exercise. I thought I was going to die once I was done. I'm not used to this heat yet this year. I also got the bright idea to get some Sun In to lighten my hair while I was working outside. I used to do this once a summer to get some blonde highlights in my hair. It did make my hair lighter and a little redder, but I think I need another round or two before I'm satisfied.

Something to increase the sun's effect on my hair and decrease the sun's effect on my skin!

Saturday night I spent watching some TV and recovering from the heat. Later I started on the monumental task of dog grooming. One of our three was spending the night at grandpa's (which it is probably sad our dogs have sleepovers, but they do like to visit grandpa), so I worked on Sebastion and Lilly. Sebastion I got quite a bit done on, but Lilly wasn't very cooperative. That leaves me with two conclusions- 1) I need to do some more grooming today with someone pinning the dogs down and 2) I need to invest in one of those grooming tables with the neck straps to keep them in place.
