Day 59
I am gearing up to get motivated to start losing again. I think the only way to do it is to keep track of the calories and not wing it - eating when I feel hungry is keeping me at the same weight so I have to change things up.

My roommate is working out - we are eating together, and we are about at the same level of messiness so it's good. You know, she isn't perfect but I am not either, so, I don't say anything about her shoes on the wrong side of the hallway or her stuff still all over the place, because mine is all over the place too! We share a living room, kitchen, dining room and sitting room - that is more space than she had at her other place. Her dog Rita is getting comfortable too - the poor thing didn't wag her tail for two days after the move!

I did get rid of some furniture so we have more space - the rooms are slowly coming together. No thanks to the stupid handyman. The cleaning ladies on the other hand are tremendous.

Roomie has not come contradancing yet, but she says she will - she is actually quite busy with her own friends many evenings and she works Monday through Friday, so we don't see each other except for an hour or so around dinner time. She also says she will join Weight Watchers if I do - which would make it easier to get it to work with the food too.

Oh, the date on Wednesday got cancelled - put off til the weekend. Hmm. Said his boss called him in early. Ok, I guess you can't help if a relative dies, nor can you help if you have to work overtime. I think he owes me more than coffee though. I am actually holding out for the veterinarian to come back from Switzerland.

Have a good Friday!

So glad your room mate situation is working out okay, I am sure you were anxious about that. Re the date - hope he's worth waiting for but sounds a bit flakey, eh? If it happens, hope it was worth it. And yes maybe the vet will be better. Have a great day.

Sounds like you picked the perfect roommate. Good for you Abba. It's so important to have someone you can get along with . It's awesome that she will join WW with you. Having someone do it with you and especially someone who lives with you will make it easier for the both of you to follow through with it and if you eat your meals together that's twice the bonus. Now I have to ask is this the same guy who cancelled twice??? If so get rid of him now....lol

By your tone it sounds like you got things working well Abba. I'm glad!!! Lol...cleaning ladies ARE tremendous...ALWAYS. That must be such peace of mind. I'm glad you've got a potential health/fitness buddy rooming with you. Congrats on maintaining. That is a feat in itself. ;-)

Ditto the above on the roomate Abba. Glad it is working out. This helps you with some company and extra cash too. I agree with Cathy, when you have a "partner" in weight loss, you keep each other honest. I also ditto the others with the Vet. But, there is no time like the present to get the diet going. Good Luck. On the cleaning lady, how I wish; I'm my own cleaning lady ~ LOL. Enjoy the weekend Abba.
