Default RAFL week 9 - Prairie Roots

I am glad to see your attitude is so wonderful. Get stainless steel
whatever configuration you get on the sink, I love stainless steel, Lee

My current weight: 159.6 lbs
Weight change since my last recorded weight: 0.0 lbs
Total weight change to date: -72.4 lbs

Today I'm grateful to see no change in my weight from last week. I've
been on a mental plateau this week. Hitting the 70+ total loss and
getting below 160 is doing a job on my motivation to keep going. This
is further than I expected to go; some part of me I haven't heard from
before is wondering why I think I should even further.

It probably didn't help that, on a whim, I tried on a jacket formerly
worn by one of my skinny daughters and discovered that it fit. I also
went shopping for some new jeans and got into a classic fit size 10
petite withOUT stretch. When I also discovered that the medium tops
fit nicely, I realized I should head over to the foundations
department for new undergarments and give my girls a new lift. Since
starting WW, I've gone down from 44DD to 38D.

My food was off this week. More importantly, I didn't exercise even
once. I'm on a rollercoaster ride with the impending construction work
on my kitchen and bathroom. My current dilemma is deciding what kind
of kitchen sink I want and how much of my construction budget I want
to spend on it. I still haven't gotten my bike. Later today I'll have
to call and find out if I need to get cranky. The bus strike started
and I'm carpooling, leaving earlier than usual and getting home later.
I'm starting with a new hospice patient whose health issues. A major
project I've been involved with at work is nearing completion and
morphing into an even bigger project.

All of this is to say that I took a bit of a breather from WW this
week to marvel at my overall progress and to focus on a few other
pressing issues. That I ended up maintaining is a wonder.

It's the best day of my life!
