So I dipped down to 136 during the week, but I'm back at almost 138 😐 I think if I kept my calories below 1700 a day, I'd continue to drop. I just can't seem to be consistent with that & I'm not sure how important it is. With grocery prices up, I'm trying to serve nutritious, tasty meals without breaking the bank. Plus, after being in maintenance for as long as I have. I like some variety. With my oven out of commission, I'm having to do my cooking stove top or, like today, using the crockpot again. I put some country style ribs (that I bought at a reduced price) on this morning. They should be good but not exactly low calorie.
We've had work men out this week to do stuff. One company mapped out where our septic system is. We're having several large trees cut down & don't want their equipment to damage the system. Thursday, I thought we were just getting an evaluation as to what needed to be done to switch our internet over to fiber that is new in our county. They actually got us all hooked up & running 😊 A crew needs to come back & bury the cable from the pole to our house. The guy told us they can hand dig the trench to avoid making a mess of our yard. He strung the cable along the outer side of the garden beds & path. I was happy to know they wouldn't be digging up the yard or driveway. The drive would have been a hard no anyway!
I raked another area of the front yard on Thursday, cleaning up leaves & debris. It was supposed to rain today, but instead, it's just partly cloudy. I'll probably go out & work some more this afternoon.
We got our 3 days in at the Gym this week. I've had some soreness in my hips & lower back, so I've been trying to avoid aggravating that. All in all, though, I feel like I got a pretty good workout each day.
I have an appointment for a haircut Wednesday morning 😊 I haven't had it cut since August, so it's definitely time. I'm looking at maybe having her cut some layers. I'm still growing out the natural color (a mix of silver/ dark). I asked if a toner would take out the more gold blond color & make it more silver. She said she'd need to see my hair, so here's hoping.
Wednesday night is Book Club. We're reading a book by a local author & he's going to be our guest.
My sisters are coming up this weekend. The 4 of us are going over to a mixed use shopping area that my sister that lives close to me & I went to in January. There is a huge antique/ crafts store that was fun. I'm sure they'll have lots of new Spring stuff now.
Enough dawdling. If I'm going to get anything done today, I better get moving.
