The most exciting part of my week (which would belie the above clip art graphic) was the two days I spent encapsulating 1865 Civil War Muster Out rolls. That was FUN! Tuesday, I spent the afternoon taking average size muster rolls through the encapsulator (sounds like an impressive piece of machinery, huh?), then we trimmed the excess plastic off and rounded the edges. We got through about 10 of them. Not too shabby. Then Thursday afternoon, we learned how to do over sized Muster Rolls. They do not fit the neatly pre-cut plastic we used on Tuesday, so instead we had to cut the plastic off a roll. Very neat. We got through 8 of them on Thursday, but no trimming or rounding. The larger the Muster Roll, the longer it takes to encapsulate. I really, really enjoy doing this. Sadly, due to the interns officially finishing up today, there is no more Muster Out rolls in my future. Though, I may try to convince the person in charge to let me do some. It may work because she likes me. ;-)
And since that was the most exciting part of my week, I'll get onto the exercise and fitness portion of the post. LOL! I'm down another 1.2 pounds this week for a total of 14.8. Ugh. So CLOSE to 15 pounds! I wish I had drank one more glass of water or did one more workout. I know that sounds dumb, but come on! So close to 15 pounds! I'm averaging just under a pound a week, as I've been at this since early May, so 16 weeks. Wow. I wish I were a little further along, but 14.8 pounds off is better than not losing it OR (heaven forbid!) gaining it!
Total Down Since May: 14.8 (Doh! So close to 15!)
Total Loss for Dec. 23 (19 weeks): 37.4 (ACK!)
To Go: 22.6
Exercise: 29 exercise points/3,492 calories burned
I've got a 5 mile run this weekend for my half marathon training. Haven't done five miles probably since my last half marathon! LOL! But, I think I can handle it. Wish me luck!!
