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! -- Prairie Roots week 53: 232/159.6/WW goal 145 RAFL week 8: 167/159.6/154 next mini-goals: 157 (75 lbs total loss); 155 (10 lbs to WW goal); 154 ( RAFL goal) started WW 22-Feb-2003 | 10% target: 1-May-2003 5'4" | 50 | F |

Sounds exciting and fun! Just be sure the builders keep their dusr out of the sewing machine and the stash! 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! Prairie Roots 232/159.6/WW goal 145 joined WW Online 22-Feb-2003 |

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. On Sat, 28 Feb 2004 08:50:45 -0600, "skiur" wrote: Sounds like you have a busy, but fun day planned!

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 On Sat, 28 Feb 2004 08:00:48 -0600, Prairie Roots wrote: 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.
