The biopsy results came back negative. I'm a happy camper today.
Got in another 5 hours of painting today. Painting masonry is slow going - so many little holes to press into - ugh. Now I know why I put this off for so long. But, the weather is fantastic this weekend, so I need to take advantage of it. So, I'm off to get in a bit more painting before the sun goes down.
Well, I don't know whether I can pull off an on-plan 4th or not. I guess we'll see!
Not much to report today--day off from the gym--pretty much cloudy and rainy still. Lots of work.
Does anyone watch "Seconds to Disaster" on the National Geographic Channel? I'm a bit of a "disaster" aficionada, if one can be such a thing. Tonight I saw the explanation of the Kursk sinking--the Russian sub that went down in 2000. A sad story of outdated equipment and poor design. And of course, the Russians wouldn't accept any help until 9 days after the sub had sunk. The men were long dead by then.
And I guess that's about all I have of interest...
Hey! Happy dance for CountingDown! Round two...heh.
How did everyone do on the 4th in the U.S.? I ate foods I wanted to eat--hot dogs, baked beans, even some Tofutti (a tofu-based "ice cream")--but I stayed within my calories.
I even made it to the gym today. Gosh, I feel positively... on plan!
This may sound strange . . . since I'm a Canuk . . . but I had a great 4th of July. I live in a tourist town and this is our annual Lobster Carnival weekend and we had lots of US tourists in town and a really great fireworks display on their behalf . . . and, to the best of my knowledge, nobody fell into the harbour either.
Great 4th, I stayed POP - only because I painted most of the day. DH and I walked downtown and spent some time people watching at a coffee shop. It was an enjoyable day.
And - as of an hour ago- the garage is painted. I am so glad it is finally done. I'm glad I never have had to paint for a living - I really, don't enjoy it. Especially oil-based paints. Clean-up is just painful.
I hate painting . . . would much rather hang wallpaper . . . every strip is so fullfilling because it makes such a noticeable difference.
Nothing exciting for me today . . . we seem to have another warm and sunny one, but the humidity is on the rise again, so I'll probably be doing the exercise indoors today.
Have a great moving and shaking good time today, gang . . .
Hey meowee, wallpapering is something I've never done! I always thought it looked really hard...
The last time I painted a room, I got a color matched primer. That can save having to do a second coat. But I found it "unfulfilling" in a way--because putting the actual paint on was just as boring as doing a second coat. It didn't look any different!
It's too hot and muggy today to do much outside. I'll just have to count on the gym later. I went off the rails last night with my eating--sigh.......
ETTA -
Come back and post often - we LOVE new folk!
When we moved into this house, every single room was wallpapered - walls AND ceilings. I have been slowly stripping rooms and painting if the old horsehair plaster is salvageable. But, in the mean time, I have become a master wallpaper hanger. It really isn't hard to do, except those "slanty" ceilings. they can be a pain to do by yourself. I usually have DH help when I get to them.
My shoulders are so sore from painting every day for 2 weeks, that I went to pull weeds in the garden this morning, and well - the weeds won. I couldn't summon the strength to unearth them. I'm thinking that a Sabbath rest day is in order.
Jay - don't sweat the eating from yesterday. Just jump back on plan today. It won't hurt you much, if at all. I can't exercise when it is hot out - though, since losing the 80+ lbs., I am able to tolerate the heat much better than in years past.
I'm off to grab a glass of iced tea and a book and put my feet up on the patio. Enjoy your Sunday all!

I didn't know people still used that... Wow, that's a pretty tough job and cleanup, CD.
to the group . . . glad to have you joining us.
