RAFL week 10 - Prairie Roots

My current weight: 158 lbs
Weight change since my last recorded weight: 1.6 lbs
Total weight change to date: -74 lbs

Good to be a loser again. The complacence that was interfering with my
ability to stay OP seems to be behind me. This week making good food
and portion choices wasn't a struggle. However, if I'm going to reach
my RAFL goal of 154 in two weeks, I'm going to have to kick it up a
notch.

I'm settling into the disruption of not having a kitchen or a
bathroom. Seeing the 100% improvement that comes with having both
rooms completely gutted to the studs and subflooring is such a relief.
Different routines are starting to form around the chaos, and I even
managed to work in some exercise this week.

My new kitchen sink and bathroom accessories delivered this week. I
could start shopping for kitchen appliances, but since we're still a
few weeks away from installation, I'm going to give my bank account a
break this weekend. Instead I'm going to declutter the back porch and
clean up some of the construction dust.

Today I'm off to the bike shop to see what answers I can get there.
Warmer weather is on the way and I want to be ready to join the other
bicyclists on the chain of lakes circuit. I've found several maps of
bike routes in and around the Twin Cities. I think biking is going to
be a great way for me to see some new local sites.

It's the best day of my life!

Thanks. I think I'm also Under Fred, although with his whoosh this
week I can't be sure.

I want to be Under you because I'm Under you. Not because you're Over
me. Get Down.

Woohoo you! Fantastic recovery dear, what good news. And the home remodeling
sounds like you now are into the fun stages ... watching it all be created
(instead of demolished). Have fun on the bike trip! I do hope the weather is
going to be a bit better, has been cold cold cold here again.

Congrats on the loss and working with/around/through the clutter and
the mess. You do get use to it and paper plates and plastic cups and
utensils (G)

Hope the bike session went well. Sounds like you are psyched for it.

And best on getting to the goal over the next two weeks - you are so
close.
