So, things are looking good here! After the last post things were fine, I was right about the fluctuation, it has been back down and up and down again all weekend! So, anyways, the weekend has been pretty uneventful. Eating on Saturday was a little worse than I would have liked...I had a bigger than usual breakfast (2 egg veggie omelet, wheat toast), but I tried to make it up by ordering a grilled chicken oriental salad from Applebee's for lunch, but forgot to get the dressing on the side. So, I made it my lunch and dinner yesterday. That was ok. Today, I had low sugar oatmeal and my frappuccino for breakfast. My mom's yummy spanish rice and a salad for lunch, oh and chocolate pudding pie for dessert (made with sugar free pudding and lite cool whip just for me-thanks mom!). I had a small glass of milk and a few graham crackers for a snack so I wasn't really hungry for dinner I did have some rice cakes and cottage cheese and pineapple just a bit ago. I am a little hungry now, but can't really see a reason to eat much now at 9pm. I may have a glass of milk or bowl of cereal...not sure yet. I just remembered that I have a half of banana to finish from Averie's breakfast. Yummm, good stuff! Now I will have that glass of milk, in just a bit. So, all in all, I am really adjusting to my new habits. It is getting easier and easier now, day by day. It is kinda strange that I used to eat every day like all day long. Like my reason for eating was just to eat and put stuff in my mouth, and now my reason for eating is because I am hungry...and want to eat healthy. I am glad I have stuck with it. I hope that my exercise and this new way of eating pays off slowly but steadily!
So exciting news, on Saturday(as mentioned in the title of the post), we drove up to a Lumber Liquidators store an hour and a half away, and purchased our hardwood floors!!! I am so stinking excited. I have been waiting for this for a year now. And you all know how much I love the plaid carpet we have and have had for a year. I will cry when it is gone (HUGE exaggeration...I might cry tears of joy)! Below in pic 1 is the floor color we purchased! We chose a little bit wider plank, but not the widest! So, it should be arriving on Thursday and the carpet should be coming out soon. The lovely bar is gone and the half wall will be gone Thursday...so after a long several months of no progress (regarding home projects) we are on a roll again! Yea! See the lovely pics below!
The beautiful new floors, soon to be installed!
Before-with the bar. Check out the great plaid carpet.
After-without the bar. There is a slight dip in the floor which will be fixed once the carpet is ripped out. The lovely half wall (where the blanket is) will be gone soon too! Hooray for home improvement projects!
