Yesterday was another sunny day with a high of 16C. This morning it is partly cloudy and 4C. Today is supposed to be another sunny day with a high of 15C.
Lifestyle
I was out the door and at the community hall to make sandwiches before 8 am. As we had an extra person who cuts and arranges the sandwiches only, I made up 3 loaves of sandwiches. I was home by 9:30 am.
My Fitbit died yesterday. I put it on to charge and when I took it off the charger, it was dead. I called Fitbit and it seems as if the battery is no good. I am in the process of doing a warranty claim to have the battery replaced. I do miss having it as I used it as a watch as well as a Fitbit. Back to using my phone as my watch.
I spent time cleaning the front hall closet. It is now clean. I also cleaned the floor at the top of the stairs. After lunch I vacuumed the stairs, the door entry, and the basement floors. Lots of fluff to be found along with some crafting and sewing bits. It is done once again and I can now wash the stairs and front entry way.
I had to be at family's just before 11 am. Grandson's team was playing (Uruguay) and we were hoping he would get some playing time. We enjoyed the game as the players were playing a good game and were scoring. We could see grandson warming up and were hoping he would play. Ten minutes before the game ended I spotted him and asked for his number. We were excited as he was on the field playing his first professional game. He showed maturity, confidence, and great skills. He definitely can play at this level and even a level above this team. We were super proud of him and were literally yelling and cheering him on in the living room.
Sewing/Crafting
None done yesterday as I was busy doing other things. If all goes well, I may get something done this week.
Knitting
I sat and knit last night to keep busy. I was feeling bored and would have wandered the house looking for something to eat. I did get the 2nd sock finished.
Thoughts
I decided to get weighed this morning to see if I had lost weight this week. I lost 1.5 lbs which is a lot more than I had thought I would. My first goal has been met as I am down 10. 6 lbs in 9 weeks. That is 44.4 lbs of pressure off my hip and knee joints. I have set my next goal which I hope to reach by the time we leave on November 14.
My determination to loose weight has been complex. I know that I can't eat certain foods as they trigger compulsive eating. I still crave potato chips but don't allow them in the house. I am doing a lot of portion control but have to monitor that as I will eat less than I should. I know that being at the weight the doctor set for me is ideal for my joints. I move easier. I will still have sore days but not from being overweight. I also know that loosing weight is each person's own journey.
Upstairs is almost cleaned and I am trying to keep up on the job. I have a few things to put into a box (I found one) and a few things to put away. I am hoping I can start under the stairs this week. It is a job I am not looking forward to but I do know it needs to be done.
Today
I have to do a bit of grocery shopping as I need food for lunches. I want to do the balance sheet and finish cleaning the stairs and the entry way. I need to decide what I will knit next and hope to start printing patterns for the doll's outfit I want to start sewing in January.
Until the next time.................................................................
