What a wonderful NSV!

Also congratulations for reaching your mini-goal with this
weeks weight loss!

Hang in there with the house. Once this is all over, you
will enjoy a new home that you will be proud of.

My current weight: 152 lbs Weight change since my
last recorded weight: -1.6 lbs Total weight change to
date: -80 lbs

It's official: With this week's loss, I reached my mini-
goal to have lost 80 lbs total. 152 also happens to be my
fourth 10% target. This was one of those weeks when I'd
have been grateful to have posted a maintain. Last weekend
I went on some kind of feeding frenzy--hunger and Easter
hit me at the same time--and I used up all my flex points
and then some last Saturday and Sunday. Since then, I've
been on the straight and narrow. Guess that's what showed
up on the scale today.

No biking this week, despite the glorious weather since
Monday. Though it's not the same, I did take several walks
this week. Anything to get away from the fumes and grit in
my house. This weekend I'm painting the kitchen and
bathroom. All of my other exercise has taken a back seat
to the construction project, which is progressing well if
a bit behind schedule. The kitchen cabinets are in.
Appliances arrive on Monday. Kitchen floor tile is stacked
on my living room floor. Countertops go in next week.
Bathroom wall tile has not arrived, which is holding up
progress in that room. My project manager is in a yelling
match with the tile people to try to hasten things along.
But what's a construction project without delays?

Had a fun NSV this week. I went to the Y to cancel/pause
my membership. When I showed my ID, the woman at the
counter looked twice, three times to make sure I was the
same person as in the photo. Finally she said, "When you
come back, you'll need a new picture taken for your ID.
You look nothing at all like your photo. How much weight
have you lost? You look wonderful!"

It's the best day of my life!

Congrats on the super fantastic week, Linda - as well as
reaching all those milestones and mini-goals. 80 pounds gone
is amazing!

Are you waiting on floor tile or wall tile ... or both? I
don't envy you're having to wait, I am the world's worst
waiter. I lived with underlayment for flooring for over a
year - my own procrastination as I couldn't decide what I
wanted and refused to spend megabucks on something I wasn't
thrilled with. It does sound like you are in the final
stretch with the remodeling, bet you're getting awfully
excited to have it finished.

Nah, the EIGHTY POUNDS DOWN!!!! That's where to start.
Congrats on yet another great week even with Easter. And
more than likely your LAST 10% target reached - goal is so
damn close. An overall congrats.

Walking is a great substitute for biking and takes less
effort and planning - just out the door.

The house will finish up soon and it sounds as if you have a
contractor in your court which should help. Countertops make
it look almost finished so progress will definitely show.

All in all - GREAT SHOW

Thanks Julie. I kinda like having my YWCA ID portraying me
as my former self. My driver's license picture is out-of-
date as well. Both are handy reminders of where I've been
and where I could be again if I don't maintain due
diligence.

In the last couple of weeks, I fudged a bit when a couple of
people asked me how much I've lost, and I said 80 lbs. I
figure total strangers, who are just comparing the person
they see standing before with the photo ID, aren't
interested in .2 increments. It's nice now to be able to say
"I've lost 80 lbs" without having to round up!

House: I keep finding little things to add on to the job. My
carpenter is one handy guy who really knows old houses. I
want to keep him!

Thanks Joyce. I don't feel I earned this week's loss, but
hey! I'm not complaining. 80 lbs gone feels as unreal to me
as 20 lbs or 30 lbs gone. Today anyway it doesn't feel like
anything special. Don't get me wrong: I'm pleased as punch.
But I'm not walking on clouds. Ladders, yes. LOL

It's the bathroom wall tile that's holding up the works. I
don't mind the waiting, frankly. The whole project seems to
be going so quickly. In some ways I'll be sorry when it's
done. These weeks have been very exciting and my project
manager, designer, and carpenter are three of the best
people I've ever known. Every day I feel both fortunate and
grateful to have found people who pay such careful attention
to their work and my interests.

I've dropped a couple of daily points. I'm not looking

Thanks Fred. If I set a personal goal lower than 145, I
still have one more 10% to go. My 5th 10% goal is 136.8,
which will probably be my last 10% target. I can't see
myself getting much below 130.

As fun as my construction project is, I'm eager for it to be
done if for no other reason than that I can get back to
exercising. The basement is filled with woodstripping stuff;
my exercise ball and Pilates machine and weights are crammed
into closets; my TV is unplugged.

Countertops make it look almost finished so progress will
definitely show.

All in all - GREAT SHOW

My current weight: 152 lbs Weight change since my
last recorded weight: -1.6 lbs Total weight change to
date: -80 lbs

It's official: With this week's loss, I reached my mini-
goal to have lost 80 lbs total. 152 also happens to be my
fourth 10% target. This was one of those weeks when I'd
have been grateful to have posted a maintain. Last weekend
I went on some kind of feeding frenzy--hunger and Easter
hit me at the same time--and I used up all my flex points
and then some last Saturday and Sunday. Since then, I've
been on the straight and narrow. Guess that's what showed
up on the scale today.

No biking this week, despite the glorious weather since
Monday. Though it's not the same, I did take several walks
this week. Anything to get away from the fumes and grit in
my house. This weekend I'm painting the kitchen and
bathroom. All of my other exercise has taken a back seat
to the construction project, which is progressing well if
a bit behind schedule. The kitchen cabinets are in.
Appliances arrive on Monday. Kitchen floor tile is stacked
on my living room floor. Countertops go in next week.
Bathroom wall tile has not arrived, which is holding up
progress in that room. My project manager is in a yelling
match with the tile people to try to hasten things along.
But what's a construction project without delays?

Had a fun NSV this week. I went to the Y to cancel/pause
my membership. When I showed my ID, the woman at the
counter looked twice, three times to make sure I was the
same person as in the photo. Finally she said, "When you
come back, you'll need a new picture taken for your ID.
You look nothing at all like your photo. How much weight
have you lost? You look wonderful!"

It's the best day of my life!

Thanks Michelle. "Determined" is not usually a term I use to
describe myself. But I guess it applies now, because you're
right: I am determined to get this weight off once and for
all. Even if I do grumble about it along the way.

Thanks Ray. Got one more 10% goal to go. If I keep going
past my WW goal, that is.

Another 10%! If I ever reach 182 it'll be three 10%s and I
thought losing 1/3 of my bodyweight was challenging
(actually losing 10 pounds is challenging, but you know
what I mean).

You have done magnificently. Good luck with the next 10%!

Thanks Julie. I kinda like having my YWCA ID portraying me
as my former self. My driver's license picture is out-of-
date as well. Both are handy reminders of where I've been
and where I could be again if I don't maintain due
diligence.

In the last couple of weeks, I fudged a bit when a couple
of people asked me how much I've lost, and I said 80 lbs.
I figure total strangers, who are just comparing the
person they see standing before with the photo ID, aren't
interested in .2 increments. It's nice now to be able to
say "I've lost 80 lbs" without having to round up!

House: I keep finding little things to add on to the job.
My carpenter is one handy guy who really knows old houses.
I want to keep him!
