Rain coming?
We went from a sunny all week report to rain tonight. I'm bummed since I am working on painting the shed in my back yard. DH asked me to make it my personal project. My good friend Kimbery came over and we managed to paint the eaves, the door and the front up to the top of the door. There is a big white triagle over the door still waiting for the green paint. It was dark before we could get any further. I was hoping to put some time in every night this week, but the weather has a different idea.
I have to say that going up and down a ladder at 160 lbs was a lot easier and less scary than climbing that same ladder at 200 lbs.
I managed to get up and do 20 minutes of yoga. That is my new school year resolution, to get up and do 20 minutes every morning as I'm not a morning person and cannot get up for a longer session. I have been successful 5 days out of 8. Not too bad for a new routine. I find the mornings I manage to get up and do it go much smoother than the days I hit snooze.
I'm in a pair of my wonderful $6.50 GAP jeans today. We are having a special jeans day for those that donated $5 to the Susan Komen Foundation today and tomorrow. Whoo hoo.
I went only TDP to log calories for the first time in a while. I have been doing some math trying to figure out what kind of maintenance calories I should be able to eat as I transition off of TSFL. It looks like around 2000 calories for me to maintain 160 at 5'11". That seems a bit much after my diet of 1000-1200 calories for successful weight loss. I'll get there gradually through the transition to see what my body really does process. So far I am holding between 158 and 160.5 on the scale and I have been slowly increasing my physical activity.
It's nice to see some old faces on EP.
