We're on our way

Alright, I've been an awful blogger, but the month of July was probably the worst month ever for Brax and I. Brax came down with a stomach flu and sinus infection beginning the 4th of July; and he's just now back to normal. He had 5 doctor's visits in the meantime to figure out what it was - the doctor's conclusion was that it wasn't anything bacterial and he just had to give it time. We also had to do a middle of the night emergency room visit week before last when Brax got a kidney stone and there was no pain medication in the house. Add to that our annual vacation to White Lake and a doctor's visit for me when I got the same stomach flu and sinus infection, and we were ready for payday on Thursday!

On the bright side of life, Ken and Eddie began the house on Tuesday! The footings for the foundation have been dug and the concrete's been poured. Since we've had a super-busy week with just being back from vacation, we haven't been out there to see it yet. We're planning on stopping by tomorrow after church and taking pictures and I'll update the blog then to show the progress.

On the WW front...well, there is no WW front. I have gained 7 lbs. since the end of June due to Brax's illness, my illness and vacation. I did jump right back on program this week and am hoping to have those 7 lbs. lost by the end of this month. I got a good lecture from my WW leader as well - which I deserved! She was right, I have gone waaaay too far and lost too much weight to screw it up now. I won't get my 100 lbs. star this year, but by this time next year I'm hoping to be close to my goal weight.
