Dinner was a success last night. Three of the four guests had never had bierrock before. They liked it! The one that has had it before put salsa on it – I hadn’t seen anyone do that before. Fixed a fruit salad to go with it so it was an easy meal. Had some bierrock left over. I froze 16 of them and one of the guys took the rest with him for his lunch today.
Have one bedroom flipped and cleaned this morning. My guests made it easy for me as they stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washer for me this morning. Sheets are washing from the other bedroom. Still need to clean the second bedroom and the two bathrooms. Got my bedroom closet cleaned this morning. Found lots of dirt in it.
Need to run into town this afternoon and get some groceries for the weekend. I have two new guests coming in tomorrow afternoon and not sure I can get away while they are here. They will be here until Monday morning and then my guys come back Monday evening.
Kathy got home safely. It is nice to see her. She had an amazing experience in Kentucky and is looking forward to moving the end of September.
I hit goal weight this morning! It took me 202 days to release 41 pounds. I still want to take three more pounds off so I have some wiggle room as my goal weight is the weight I never want to go over again. I weigh now what I did when I got pregnant with Jason 43 years ago.
Now I get to start adding in more food to slow down and stop the weight loss. Not sure what to add in as I don’t eat grains. Sweet potatoes count as a grain so maybe I will add a sweet potato to my dinner each night. I have already added some protein to breakfast and lunch. Somedays I can’t eat all I am supposed to be eating.
I went down to clean out the chicken coop this morning but it was too windy. I didn’t want to fight to keep the doors open so I could clean it out. The straw would have blown out of the wheel barrow faster than I could put it in it this morning. It is to be nice and cool next week so I will wait for a day when the wind isn’t so strong and do it then.
Starting to make a list of things I need to get for my Australia trip. It will be summer there. The trail pants I bought to take to Spain no longer fit. My swim suit no longer fits and I need to get a new one to take before they are not to be found in the stores. I will need to go to KC in the next week or so and do some shopping. I also need to get some sweaters and hoodies for the fall. The winter coat I ordered fit so I am good to go there.
Becoming more and more aware of a shift that has happened internally again. Not sure if I can find words to describe it though. As I slowly step into accepting my right sized body I can feel the additional self-confidence it is bringing me. Life seems to be lots more fun right now. I am remembering to take time to play. My guests are treating me so nicely and I have released the control of my kitchen to them. That gives me more space to play.
Grateful to have hit goal weight (at least the upper limit of it), grateful for the internal shift that has happened again, and grateful for the fun that is finding its way to me.
