Monday Morning! Where is
Lori????? Don't tell me
Trig and I are the early birds! HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Sun is out and it's going to warm up. I am going to open up these windows and get some fresh air. I am aiming for a 30 minute walk FINALLY as it is drying up from those monsoon rains over the weekend.
Packing and packing and packing is the word of the day. Kitchen is DONE! Once the kitchen is done the rest is nothing. Emptied the hutch as well and have about 20 boxes stacked up on the wall.
Today I want to get as much FINSHED as possible.
TRIG- Keep your spoon outta the crap! As you say point blank WE are not the type to be able to nibble and treat. No can do.
I almost lost it last week and the scale went up so fast and the shorts came unbuttoned quicker than you can say bloat. Yup- Look the other way.
Go get yourself a real treat and get a mess of crab legs and butter and really TREAT yourself! Top then on top of a steak for surf and turf! Now that is a real meal work sinking your teeth into. We do need to have those treat to keep us in line. Something to look forward to!
Or get some salami and cheese roll those up and dunk them in a pizza sauce! No carbs and tastes amazing.
You got this- I know you do. Just giving you a hand off the cliff.
How long is your momma staying? When do you leave for the beach? We might both be traveling same day! I am leaving here Sunday.
Yes I am SMILING PACKING these boxes
Lori! .
Lori- You sleeping in this morning? I find that hard to believe with the time change and all. Golf today or is that tomorrow?
You still happy with those Freshly Boxes? Someone here in the complex get them. They put them in the mailing center. I is amazing to me that whoever gets them lets them SIT there for a few days!!!! WTH?!?!?!? GROSS-
Things still humming along with Betty? Any house news? Was that a go- offer in writing?
NIC- Hey there!!!!! How was your recliner time? Did your team win? I stand corrected - it was the BROWNS that kicked the Ravens butts not OSU.
- the BROWNS for gosh sake.
What is on your docket today?
---------------------------------------------------------
Todays list:
finish packing
get a few more small boxes for the little stiff
hit up the liquor store for glass boxes- and a small gift to self.
walk- in the sun
start my gratitude journal-
Gratitude journal- I have always wanted to start one but never have. So in my packing I came across a bright hot pick leather journal with 300 pages. All blank and ready to fill. I just love a blank journal- It is filled with the promise of something new and fresh starts. So it seems appropriate to start it today.
Goal is to find 20 things a day I am grateful for.
So the science behind gratitude and weight loss- there is one. So when you are in a state of gratitude your cortisol levels go down and therefore your body can process your food in a no inflammatory way and not store everything as fat. You move from the fight/flight mode to a state of contentment. I am going to give it a 30 day experiment.
Gratitude: 2- for the day: I love coming here everyday and seeing each of you. I call you friends and am grateful for your commitment. Time is precious and writing here everyday takes discipline and and also a sense of us coming together to share. I love it and am grateful.
PS- first thing I was grateful for was being able to get out of bed- COFFEE is also up there!
