Down into the 237's this morning, PTL. 237.8. I just realized (after three months), that my weight has never registered as an odd number on my scale. It's always something .0, .2, .4, .6, or .8. Weird! It must be the way my scale is set up. If I can lose 2/10 of a pound more by Monday, my weight will be down two pounds for the week. That will be the biggest weekly loss I have had since starting! WOOHOO!!!!
Yesterday, I wanted to eat ALL day! I managed to finish the day with 1,636 calories, though, which was within my target range of 1,500's and 1,600's.
Today, I'm debating on the possibility of taking my grandson to the pool (last day it is open for the season). If I do, I'll have two ham biscuits for lunch, which is only 240 calories. If I don't, I might get my husband the Cracker Barrel Pork Chop dinner he has been wanting to try, and I will get the Homestyle Chicken and eat one of the two breasts today and the other one tomorrow. I'll have their green beans and some of the carrots I already have cooked here. Total for lunch will be 447.
Yesterday, I had a pretty productive day. I put a bunch of small things on my To Do List, and I accomplished them all. Our church is going to have a yard sale in October to make money toward a new riding lawn mower. I found four cow-themed things that have been sitting at the back of the shelving unit in the kitchen because there is no room to display them. I washed them and put them in the box I started for yard sale contributions. There's nothing else I want to sell on those shelves, so next I will head to one of our junk rooms and start packing up things in there (once I clear a path to be able to get INTO the room! We have hundreds of Christian and wholesome VHS tapes already in boxes. I don't know if they'll sell, but at least I can finally get rid of them. I know there is a printer in there that worked the last time I used it many years ago. Lots of work ahead in the next several weeks to purge that room.
Debating on whether to get busy around here or go back to bed for another hour. I did that yesterday morning, and it made the day not seem as long as it usually does.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday. Oh, maybe instead of taking my grandson to the pool I will take him to this event being held at a local park today. The fire department will be there with a thing where kids can hold fire hoses and aim at a cardboard "burning building" and shoot water into the windows. Also a hayride. I wouldn't be able to get into that, with my knees, but maybe my twin friends would go with us, and they could take him on that. Hmmm. Once again, "decisions, decisions!"
