Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

That is the sound of woman who got to sleep in a real bed last night.

06 november 2011

Yesterday was highly productive. I didn't think I would get to the painting yesterday but we did. Worked on the bedroom off and on (mostly on) for 6 hours yesterday. Now I didn't get my bed back last night, but I will be sleeping in it tonight. It's been a very long month without it. Started off yesterday sanding and sanding. Then clean up from that, then painting. Then clean up from that. And I managed to fall down the stairs during the clean up process. By then we were all too tired to continue. The carpet still needs to be shampooed and let dry and the baseboards need to be purchased and put up. Then washing bedding and putting up the bed, then filling and making the bed. Whew, i'm tired just reading that and I haven't even started. I've already cleaned up my ferrets cage and bathed them and done 2 loads of laundry, working on the third, and I've been to Walmart, all before 8am.

Proud of myself, went the easy dinner route yesterday and went to the sub shop. However I ate soup and salad instead of a sandwich, cause I wanted it and I didn't want to bloat up from the bread.

WOE is going alright, although I've been pretty lax this past week, so I need to tighten up a bit. Eating too much trail mix and snacks. Today is a new day, and I got strawberries and low carb yogurt so I'm going go have breakfast!

Where am I? Let's see. I'm in maintain land. No I haven't reached my weight goal, but I'm finding it harder and harder to stick to under 25 net carbs. Some days my carbs are over 60-70, some days 40-50 and other days 30-35. I've got no consistancy with my carbs. The scale has been fluctuating between 137 and 139 for the past few weeks. I'm not really upset or stressed about that though. I'm happy that I am eating more variety and some higher carb foods and still able to maintain the big loss I have achieved. I am not thin, but I am no longer fat. Recent photos of me look pretty good. I feel no urgency to lose these last 10 pounds right now. Maybe the onset of colder weather has me wanting to keep a little bit of fat on my body so I don't freeze to death.

I've stopped obsessing about what the scale says and my food choices, which is a great thing for me. However I am making much better choices now in my food than I did before I started down this path to health. I am still exercising and enjoying it, and I see no reason to slow down there, as this also helps me maintain what I've lost. Thanksgiving is not giving me much pause to stress either. I can eat turkey and cauliflower casserole and some other green veggie and be very happy about that. I used to love mashed pototoes and gravy and rolls, but those things no longer even taste good to me, so I won't even be sad seeing everyone else eat them. I tasted a french fry of hubby's last night and potatoes still taste icky and starchy to me, so I may never eat them again, but that doesn't make me unhappy.

Mentally I feel I am in a better place, and 90% of that is me taking back control over the home repair saga from my hubby. Me not being in control = stress and anger. When I am in control I feel better. Last week I decided to call a contractor and have him put up the drywall and that is done. Last night when I got home from work I starting to do the mud work. This will continue the rest of the week and this weekend the sanding and painting will be completed and my bed will be erected. The rest of the home repair will have to wait till Tax refund comes in, but that is downstairs, and it can wait a few months.

I've decided to take back control of the home repairs from my hubby. I am fed up with sleeping on an air mattress for the last 3 weeks. I want my bed back. He just doesn't have the skill to do what needs to be done and complains every time he's put to work fixing our home. I never should have let him have his way on this issue. If I had had my way this crap would have been over weeks ago, cause I would have called the insurance company and gotten more money to have everything done professionally. But because hubby refused that route, and I did not stand my ground for my way, we are here. So I called up my old boss who is a contractor and he's coming Monday to put the missing wall back up. It's worth the 150-200 bucks to have someone who actually has the skills to do it right and get my real bed back.

Got a show tonight and a baby shower Sunday. I have to find time to paint as much of the bedroom as possible , so once the wall is up I can put my bed back up. I can mud and sand and paint a small amount of wall around the bed with the bed in the way. If I don't have my bed back by Tuesday night it will happen by next weekend. This I vow! I'd really like my bed back up Monday night, but with 2 Rocky Horror performances since it's Halloween that won't happen cause I won't be here, I'll be at the theater.
