I am working hard to maintain. I just read the journal of a gal on this site who is losing and her numbers are 120-140 for carbs and 1500-1600 calories. My aim for calories is the same as hers, but my carbs are more like 50-70, so I just learned something from her, perhaps I can boost my carbs up a little higher and still maintain. We are having a heat wave and I don't go out after 10:30 am, unless it is to the store. Temperatures are in the 3 digits by 11. I have been helping my husband stain the deck and it is hard work plus the fumes make me sick. I have made up my mind I am not going to do any more spindles that I can't reach from the ground. Leaning over the railing and painting those spindles with my head down is for the birds, I get sick just thinking about it.

Diehard, we bought a paint/stain sprayer to stain our log home. I can't believe how quick and easy it is. My next project is to stain the kids tree house and the gazebo. When I look at the gazebo I can't imagine using a brush on all those spindles. It wasn't super expensive, maybe $100-$150? But I also think you can rent sprayers. That deck would be done in an afternoon! Can't recommend a sprayer highly enough!

Check out her fiber grams. The only way to get fiber is to intake carbs and you need at least 25 grams of fiber per day.

Do you stain the deck every summer? Maybe some high school or college student that you know could do it for you for a small fee. Hope the weather gets cooler soon. Good luck in your maintenance weight. :)

No, it has been 4 years since we had our deck stained. The last time we hired it done. This time DH wanted us to do it ourselves. Today he stood on his head and did the spindles and complained about his back! I sat in a lawn chair and painted the front of them and he got the back sides that we couldn't reach from the ground. I was really irked at him when I wrote that last post. I was doing all the spindles and he was going in behind me touching up the light spots. he was lucky I didn't push him right off the deck ;-)

LOL. Every time I see your journal and read that "he was lucky" part, I laugh. That was funny.
