(139) TGIF...And the Carpet Man is Coming!

First of all, I am SOOOOO glad it is Friday. This has been a crappy week for my motivation level, specifically with work. I am glad to call it a week and be done. And I have lots to do this weekend, with the carpet guy coming on Monday to install in our bedroom. It has been almost 10 years since I've had carpeting in my bedroom. (Hardwood floors are so friggin cold in the winter!) So, come Monday morning, I'll be squishing my toes in some plushy new wall-to-wall!!

I'm am so happy that I am on track this week with Phase 4 of the DDDC. Every day I have come in on target with calories and water. No binges, no goodies. Lots of fruit, lots of water, decent carbs and small amounts of protein. The only thing I could have done better this week was to increase the amount of veggies. But it's all good otherwise.


So, given that I've been on target all week, I'm not understanding why I don't feel like anything is changing. I feel kinda bloated. Bathroom trips are few and far between, except for the peeing part. I keep reading about all of Allan's explosive bathroom antics and wonder what the hell is wrong with my digestive track?!?

I'm just gonna wait it out, I guess....Everyone hits a plateau, right?

So far this morning: plain oatmeal (110 cal) made with water, 2 tsp maple syrup (35 cal), 14 ounces coffee (80 cal), and water:

230 calories and 30 ounces.

Onward......

Day 118... And Only 8 Days Til Christmas! AACK!!

Things I've gotten done:
Lost 2 more pounds, got the dinner menu worked out, got a final tally on dinner guests, decided how to fit them into my tiny house, got hubby's buy-in on the plan.

Things left to do:
Finish painting the bedroom, shop for dinner, send out cards, shop for gifts, clean the house, re-arrange the family room, lose my mind.....

Oh wait! Already did that!!

I'm on vacation today, monday and tuesday, so at least I have a fighting chance of getting some of this stuff done.

So far today: a banana, 105 calories, 2 cups of coffee, 120 calories, one water, and an orange 69 calories. I am soooo on target, and soooo motivated to stay there!

____________

Finished off the day with 4 more waters, one bean burrito 370 calories, one avocado & 18 corn chips 432 calories. Glass of cranberry-pomegranate juice, 120 calories

Total 846 calories, 83 ounces of water, 24 ounces of coffee, 8 ounces of juice.

Happy dance!!

And I got the bedroom painted!
