Softball, Sauder and a weigh-in

So, we moved across the river to Parkersburg, WV. I am only 5 minutes from work and the rent is $120 cheaper a month. We are still in boxes for the most part, but settling in nicely. I spent into the wee hours Friday putting together a TV stand. We previously have hung our flat screen on the wall (this drove me nuts....because you could see the wires hanging down) So I bought one of those pressed board Sauder pieces. You know the ones...they are HEAVY and a pain in the butt to put together, especially by yourself. So I get it all put together and the noticed the last piece, a decortive one was missing...UGH. Well no big deal, I got on the website and one is being delivered today actually. But that's not where the fun starts. I went to "scoot" the piece into place....and the whole stinkin' side fell off.....BIGGER UGH! I was so cranky by this point (almost 2 hours into the build) and it was just after 1 am, so, I quit for the night. The next day my friend was coming over. I had her bring me a regular sized screw driver. I only had a 'lil shorty and that's what made it impossible to get the locking thingy majiggs locked. Now, it's all in place, the TV is hooked up and it looks great in my living room.

A few weeks ago a guy and girl I work with put together a co-ed softball team. We've had a few practices (I left the last one asking myself...."self, who are you kidding...you don't know what you're doing and are not in shape to do this" But, I have stuck it out. We had our first game Monday. I did score a run and didn't even bat. The rules are...if they walk a guy, the next girl to bat gets a walk as well. But....I got an injury. I pulled my left groin somewhere between 2nd and 3rd base. It is STILL killing me. I went to water aerobics last night and it felt good for the most part, but I did twinge it 2 good times. I sat in the hot tub afterwards. But this morning it's really really sore. I am hoping that it's just because it's morning and it's not limbered up yet. I would've rather taken a ball the the shin area (like I did in practice) than to have this. We play on Monday and Friday's. We found that out on Monday when we got to the ball field. We all signed up under the pretence of Monday games only. I just hope that my groin is well by Friday.

I weighed myself this morning, and I have lost 58 lbs now! I am glad to finally be seeing it come off...it's been a long road. I think after my next fill in October, I'll be set for a while. This last one put me up to 5.75 cc's and it worked quite well for a lot longer. But, I can now eat breakfast a lot earlier and I notice it takes more to make me full. I try to stick within my 1 cup portion though. But I am quite happy.

Till next time.....
