RAFL week 8 - Prairie Roots

My current weight: 159.6 lbs
Weight change since my last recorded weight: -1.4 lbs
Total weight change to date: -72.4 lbs

Back on the downward trend this week. That's always good news.
Remained OP, had 14 leftover Flex Points, exercised 3 times. Went to a
party last Sunday night where cosmopolitan martinis were served and I
partook. Ate ice cream every evening after dinner, went through two
containers of meringue cookies. Yet I lost and didn't feel hungry
once. My size 12 jeans are loose around the tummy and baggy around the
thighs. Is it any wonder I love WW?

This morning I'm doing a bit of housecleaning before my contractor
comes to sign the deal to rehab my kitchen and bathroom. Construction
starts the week after next. After he leaves I'm going to the bike shop
for a commuter bike and all the accessories I need to ensure both
comfort and safety for biking in winter.

Then I'm off to Home Depot for countertop samples and to look at
lighting. After that to a sporting goods/camping store to see about
temporary indoor toilets. Or maybe Sears has something. Once
construction starts, I'll be without a bathroom for several weeks. I
can shower at the Y, and a neighbor has offered use of his bathroom
once in a while. But when you gotta go, you gotta go! You don't always
have time to jump in the car or walk across the street. Good thing the
plumbing in my basement will still be connected. LOL

The sun was up before 7 this morning and won't set until 6 this
evening. The temp this morning is 32F; predicted high is 45F with
mostly sunny skies. Practically summer.

It's the best day of my life!

Thanks Kate. I gave my sewing machine to my daughter after her baby
was born. And I haven't had a "stash" since my early 20s (wink). So I
think I'm out of danger!

Thanks Nathalie. All my biorhythms must be up today. Or my stars are
in alignment. All my inner children are content and playing nicely
together. The inner lawyers have negotiated a settlement and are
shaking hands. The judge is sleeping, and the jury gets to go home.

Thanks Julie. I'm not a DIYer which is the reason my house should
either by sold to the "We Buy Ugly Houses" folks or turned over to the
rehabbers. To help me save money, though, my contractor has said that
they'll "let" me do things to help, like sit at city hall for a couple
of hours to pull permits, paint, clean up. I used to help my dad with
projects but not enough of his handman-ness rubbed off on me.

Thanks Connie. I heard a radio editorial earlier this week about the
tradition of some cultures to respond to the perfunctory "Hi, how are
you?" greeting with "It's the best day of my life." I decided to adopt
that for myself, thinking an attitude of gratitude will serve me
better than an attitude of grumpiness. Today it's not so hard: Today
is a great day to be alive.

CONGRATS on getting close to Lesanne (G)

You really are doing well. And it seems that maybe more food IS
better than less sometimes. Was that real ice cream each day? Maybe
that "milk" product helps weightloss is real?

I like it - cleaning up before they start demolition - can't have any
dust present when they start (G)

Don't sample too many countertop samples.

Can't they hook up a temp toilet to the basement plumbing system? Use
the old one down there?

It sounds like someone is flying real HIGH. Enjoy the feeling, the
dawn of summer (in your mind, at least) and the shopping foray.

And again, congrats on the new decade, too
