Day 8 on exercise was good. More laying floors (almost done), cleaning, moving furniture etc.... Day 1 logging food also good.
Things are finally getting somewhat normal around here. I actually have my kitchen put back together! I have a stove to cook on again and my dishwasher too, so now my 2 teens can quit complaining about washing dishes by hand! All we really have left to do now is get baseboards back on all the walls and put all the furniture back. Easy compared to what we've done already.
Red - glad to hear you'll be staying with us with new challenges! Way to go!!!!
Pink - I never suspected that laying floor would be so hard! Don't know if I would ever do it again either. Good luck on the weigh in!
Rebeca - hope you figure out where your energy went. Sometimes it seems though that it suddenly comes back for no reason that you can figure out.
Obsidian, MyOwn, Sushi - keep up the good work!
Hi to everyone that I missed. Got to get in my workout before my little wakes up from his nap.
I got to the gym in the morning before work and was a gem at lunch, making an interesting bowl of brown rice, miso soup and tofu. I had brought some leftover brown rice with chestnuts and other things, like shiitake mushrooms and barley and mixed that with some beans for a snack after the gym when I got to the office. I was flying high. The lack of caffeine was dragging me down a bit in the afternoon and I was getting stomach cramps, but my allowed mug of tea took care of that. I am such a junkie! 
Went out for a few pints with a boss after work and only had vegetable sticks with it, so I was doing great! I feel so clear-headed (yes, even despite the brew) and I think my skin looks sooo much better all ready. The absence of sugar for the past two days has tightened me up. If I can, please, please, please just keep this up!! 
Glad to hear the boyfriend was only going as far as Pennsylvania, my home state! 
Glad to hear you have the kitchen back! 
Don't look for the scales to do things so quickly! 
Look at what you DID and hopefully will do consistently and the scales will eventually...emphasis on eventually....come around! 
Red on the weight loss! You must be feeling really good about that. 
and I had to stop off at the pub with coworkers and had a bit too much 
to call it "clean living"....oh well, it was fun and the one guy is off for a couple weeks so it was kind of a farewell and good luck thing.
Lunch was soba noodles which was cool. The crunches and journaling were done, but I am going to call a pause day on the Clean Living challenge, despite all the good things I did. I'm going to be tough on myself with this one! 
Here's the tally!
Later! 
When we get too hot, we sometimes jump in the creek or the river that runs through the park and cool off!
