Week 4 of holidays

This week felt busy and not laid back like the first week did.

I did my walks as often as I could. I cut my grass and my parents'.

I went out to my sister's Sunday for a family work bee. She has so much going on and is so far behind. DH spent two hours on the riding mower cutting her grass.  DS1 spent a couple hours in her labyrinth, which was terribly overgrown. Whipper snip to the rescue.  DS2 worked on her hedge which leads from her yard down to the highway.  I went in and did a week's worth of dishes and laundry from when she had all  her grandkids there. Mom and dad helped sister out in her pea patch picking 11 10 gallon pails full.

Then we went out and helped work the pea sheller, which I had never seen in action before. It seemed to take forever, but nowhere near the time it would take to hand shell that many peas.

We finished at mom and dad's with a lovely BBQ.

Despite all my walking and water drinking and 90% of the time excellent food choices, I did not lose. I maintained. I was bummed. I know it is 'that easy (finger snap) for me to fall off the wagon and go back to eating like I used to and the weight would climb back on. I was hoping for a loss again this week before heading into a long weekend of camping where food choices are much more delicious with many many more calories and fat.  I am fearful it would throw me totally off and my good habits of the summer will just be memories. It's happened so many times before.
