The second long-term boarder didn’t stay last night. He hadn’t planned on staying over night the night before and needed to go home to get clean clothes, etc. He did ask if he could stay next week Monday through Friday. Nice to get a second long-term boarder. That makes my job easy!
I finally saw my other guest this morning. He has been going out the back door and I have missed seeing him come and go. His son is being kept very busy at football practice at Tabor. Dad has been busy getting stuff for his dorm room and watching practice when he is allowed to. Not sure either of them are ready for Sunday when dad has to return to WA.
Not much on my to-do list again today. Have a few loose ends to tie up but nothing urgent. I have most of my housekeeping responsibilities done for the day. Need to come up with something exciting to do today or maybe I will just enjoy my empty space.
I have been on Bright Line Eating Plan for 181 days today – it will be six months tomorrow. Lost another pound this morning so am 4 pounds from the high-end of my goal weight range. 37 pounds down since February 11 and 56 pounds down from my all time high. Parts of this journey feel like I just started and other parts feel like it has been a long time. Still not seeing the weight loss on myself very often. I do notice it more when I put on something to wear that used to fit. I wore a swimsuit to the pool yesterday that was way too big on me now. I put it in the donate pile after I got it washed up yesterday. I almost flashed my boobs at the pool as it was so loose it didn’t keep me covered very good.
I have been eating the same thing everyday and once a week or so I introduce a new food to see how my body is going to react. I have to be very careful about what fruits I eat as some are too sweet and give me a sugar rush. I try things twice to see if the same thing happens the second time. Beef doesn’t seem to agree with me any more – even my good local ranch raised beef I buy direct from a rancher.
I am finding bones in my body I had forgotten I had. When I sit down in the bathtub at night I can feel my tail bone. Haven’t felt it for a long time! I think I have lost the most weight in my boobs. I seriously need to go get fitted into a better fitting bra. The ones I have now are way too big in the cup. If I was redesigning my body I would have left some of the weight in my boobs and taken more off my waist and hips.
Almost time to start getting serious about adding in some exercise so I can start firming up my flabby skin. Not sure how much I can fix that problem but will attempt to do what I can. Contemplating if I want to go to a gym and hire a fitness trainer or if I want to do videos and do it at home. Not sure which I would stick to the best. Wanted to lose the weight before I added something else to manage in my life. With fall and cooler temperatures coming soon I can start getting back outside more and walking lots. Walking is my favorite exercise.
Had a weird thing happen on one of the dating sites. I responded to a question a guy asked and then two days later another guy with the same name and exact same profile but with a totally different picture send a message under the same thread. What is up with that? I looked at the pictures to see if one was a recent update but the two guys don’t look anything alike. Wonder if someone was hacked?
Looking forward to the weekend as a friend from KC is coming down Saturday. We are having dinner at Ad Astra and then coming here to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. The forecast is still calling for clear skies so crossing my fingers and toes that we will have perfect viewing skies. They are amazing to watch. Come out and join us if you would like to.
Grateful for the 37 pounds I have released this year, grateful for easy guests, and grateful for the beautiful view of the night sky I have here on my little corner of the prairie.
