Hello Coaches
I'm still working on my foodplan and my grocery list. I think I am too uptight about things right now and when that happens I want to make sure I do everything right aka perfectly.
It's never gonna be that way.
So I'm going to take another half hour or so and be done with it.
Today I stayed home and DH has the car. I worked on a bunch of paintings earmarked for the farmers markets. I'm going to try to finish a few of them before DH gets home. I need to see some progress on that front.
This morning, because DH got paid (
), I got cleaning stuff to tackle the freezer which has mould in it. *sigh* I've peeked at it twice since we moved. Maybe it's a forest of mould now. I sure hope not.
If I can start that icky job that will be great.
credits: Foodwise I've begun my new foodplan. I'm going low carb / heavy veggie. I have some great recipes to try and I am close to having my 7 day foodplan completed. I've decided to deal with our overnight at MIL's place on Friday by, wait for it.... being prepared in advance. I'm bringing my own food just to be sure I give myself every chance to be OP.
I weighed in this morning at 287, up 1.8lbs. credit to me for weighing in.
gardenerjoy Kudos for writing consistently and for dealing with a strange lunch. I am not in my groove yet re:making things. I seem to get going and then just stop. I can't get into gear. I know I need to be patient. I know it's all part of adjusting to our move. I am sure you'll find your way back to the consistent exercise as I will with the artwork. Thanks for checking in.
Lexxiss Kudos for tackling a monster project on your own. That's how I feel about the freezer right now and that is nowhere near the scale of your project. I am heartened to read that you do succumb to emotional eating and that you stop.it.right.there. I find this to be very "real life" and you're a great "real life example" of how you stay on track inspite of being stressed. I keep thinking about your description of it being "...darker on the West side of the Continental Divide." (You wrote that on June 13) This has completely captivated me. Thanks.
BillBlueEyes One of the best pictures I never took was the day the townhouse complex I lived in was replacing the toilets. There were rows and rows of them outside on the front lawns. Toilets out of place are curious things indeed. Oddly enough, I've never seen them in, or near, a box. And no, I am not keeping everything I packed that's for sure. But I'm not getting "to it" fast enough for my liking. I think DH and I will have our own garage sale at the end of the summer to take care of those things that we really don't need or want.
pamatga I'm really happy to read you're still getting good sleep. It's such an essential building block for a good day. I was interested to read about your garden. We have a master gardener at the community garden I just joined too. It's quite a complicated gardening system they go by. They use the principles of biodynamic farming/gardening and what happens in the garden is dictated by the phases of the moon and the astrological aspects. I'm open to this and curious to witness it in the garden. The garden is really a small urban farm at 1.5 acres. There is horseradish in the garden and wheat! Wheat?! Super impressive to me. I was going to go to a planting today but my asthma was triggered a day ago and I had a weird night feeling like a cold was coming on so I am taking it easy today. Lots of gardening and lots of gardeners in that garden. Gardens are really great places for me to find some peace. Thanks for all your detailed posts btw.
Off I go. Bye for now Coaches. Hello Lurkers! Hope you are enjoying your day as well.
