It's better than it looks and also worse than it looks. I hadn't posted my weight for over 60 days. Unlike post people on this site, I don't like to post my weight when it increases. I had set a new 15 pound goal somewhere around the first of the year. By January 21st I was down, maybe 4 or 5 pounds. Then stuff happened - being told by an orthopedist he recommended total knee replacement, finding out the new house that was going to be built in Oregon wasn't going to happens. Plenty of excuses. I started to gain. I can gain a lot of weight pretty fast. I posted some of the gain but never as much as it actually was. Then I just stopped stepping the scale and did not post my weight. When my house was listed for sale, 5 weeks ago I stopped cooking and got meals to go. Chicken strips at least 4 times, a Subway meatball sandwich, tacos I'm sure. I finally weighed myself in the morning about 10 days ago and was 185. So I started trying to eat less carbs than protein and lost over 6 pounds. So today's weight is correct. Still need to lose 5 pounds to get to January's weight.
So far, no one has looked at my house this weekend. I had asked someone who posted on Nextdoor to weed wack my property after giving up my yard care service. He texted me yesterday to make sure I still wanted him to work today. He asked what time and said he should come over. I told him I preferred the morning. Then he texted and asked if he could come right over. I said yes, but why? He just wanted to see my yard. I knew he a teenager, probably in high school. A few minutes later hecame over with his dad. They introduced themselves and we walked all over the lot, nearly 1/2 acre. His dad was pointing out things he should do. Really nice and polite young man. He said he'd be over at 8am and should finish it all by 11. I looked outside at 8am and he was working! I went out at 11 to pay him. He got about half the property done, mostly out front and it looks so much better than what the lawn service does. He's only 16 and wants work for the summer. He said he could come by during the week to finish. Anyway, I hope he is able to keep on working for me. He also said he'd clean the pond on my bank.
Still eating okay today but have lunch coming up next week with a friend at Red Robin.
