Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[chickisoup]

Hi 3goodegs

Nope. Didn't move, yet. Pa decided to log the place off first to get us some extra money but then he decided to go ahead and put on a new roof and replace some of the windows and fix a couple things that needed fixin' for years so who knows???


wow, just happened to be checking my list and saw 14 posts on here!!!

Another vote for the french press. That way you can have coffee even if your power goes off. Of course, if the weathermen are right about this super El Nino thing this year, Alaskan and I are probably going to have a pretty mild winter.

French Press SO MUCH BETTER than a Keurig.....unless you're in a hurry when expediency wins over quality.

So it was weigh in day... I gained last time so was Heck bent to count and keep my food diary up to date.

I got in a cleaning mode on the garage.... I let my OCD FREEE and went to work.

There has been a stack of tubs down the center of the garage. MY stuff mostly. A combination of cleaning out my tack room at a boarding stable and packing up my own stuff here for moving to the house later. I have to tell you its A LOT of stuff...

Top it off with the occasional toss of a paper coffee cup over the pile out of sight and out of mind... I was getting antsy over it all.

So I let my OCD FREE on it... Assembled four sets of free standing shelves and had at it. By the time I was done in... I had repacked nearly empty tubs into tubs that contained similar material and moved them to their new storage locations along the mostly unused walls of the garage... Ahem in the process collecting oh say fifty or so Coffee cups that mysteriously appeared as I moved the tubs... (wonder where those came from )

Then i found all deans camping gear and neatly tucked it on top and in spaces the tubs didn't fill. The tub with my harness appeared... Woo Hoo Now it was time to put all the big tubs on the bottom... Remember OCD. I got six of those big tubs placed... Yay... The pile in the middle of the garage with from about six feet high to about four...

Remember I work from a rolling walker... one of those handy grippers to reach stuff on the ground and nothing lifted above the seat of my walker. I have two brand new furniture dolleys purchased just for this job and a folding table for sorting... When I was done this afternoon I had ONe large tub and six small tubs empty and ready to put stuff in that should have made it into a tub...

And the parting shot was when I found a bunch of little debris, dirt, seeds, petrified frenchfries.... You know common garage dirt items... I took great delight in sweeping it up and with a giant push of the broom hurling it toward my sons car.... (who happened to be playing a game with a friend on the internet at the time) which sent me into a giggling fit with every fling.

By now I had gone all day with out food... and, with the exception of my four shots of espresso over ice, no water either. When I got in I was tired.... Took a shower and a couple of Alieve and got ready for my WEigh in at Weight Watchers

So what did I do... I dropped in to my espresso place and bought ANOTHER four shots of coffee over ice.... I love the taste but only took a sip or two... Its still in the car.

Weigh in was AWESOME. I lost 4.4 pounds which puts me into the 5% loss category and got me a charm for my WW charm key chain. 5% is some where around 18 pounds the website has crashed because the news about Oprah buying 10 percent of weight watchers I am sure has a bunch of people looking at the site. So when it comes back up I will know how much I weigh...

It doesn't matter. I realize some of it is just the workout I did today and it will be back up to morrow. Dont care I feel good.

[turtlesgalore]

wow deb, way to keep on track with the exercise. See that's why I love you people here, positive attitude keeps us all movitivated when we get in ruts too. keep up the good work with ww.

Thanks every one.... I am taking it one week at a time...

Exercise is a hit or miss for me... so when I get motivated I usually OVERDO. because I am using a walker to get about organized exercise is something nearly impossible to do.

But then I never liked exercise for the sake of exercise... I like walking and even when I was only using a cane I loved walking with my goats.... Endless entertainment....

I could even scramble up on the boulder ridge along with them..... they would run leaping and cavorting JUMPING the spaces between boulders with glee. I made my self a walking stick that was six feet tall so when It came time to step over the spaces between boulders I could put it down in between and use it as support .

My goats are gone now mountain lion got em..... but my walking stick waits for me... and when I get back home I will be getting more goats...

Going to take my horse for a drive too... the forecart is much easier to get in so i can probably hitch by myself...

Just keep working on it! The exercise will become a habit after a while.

Taking care of the animals will help too.

Hi Deb

GREAT JOB!!!
Getting healthy isn't only about the numbers on a scale, tho it does help. The way I deal with exercise is the way my dietician explained it to me. Exercise is any intentional movement whether aerobic or anaerobic that is outside your normal routine. Applying that philosophy has made it easier for me to want to "exercise". For example, I "exercised" today by using a handsaw to prune the trees around the yard. My dietician has been a huge help getting me unstuck and back on track with my weight loss. Total of 30 lbs so far.
Do you have to be a member to use the percentage thingy?
