September 14, 2009

Woke up at 5 am...finally got up at 5:15...Jim was up moving around...made some coffee ... Jim went walking around the lake just before I got up.

May have been another pound if I'd slept in until 7 am but I was a solid 134 lbs when I got up before drinking any liquid. Nice to be under the 135 again...haven't been there since May. Guess it really does work to watch calories. At least I'm eating a varied diet and trying to do it with very small portions. I've stayed away from the nuts....love them but they are really high.

Going to start in the attic today and clean the upstairs....if Bonnie comes Mary will be sleeping up there. Also I need to store the sparkleballs up there that are in the den in case Bill comes for overnight from LA. Just as well...I'm tired of seeing them in the den. But too lazy to take all of them from the bathtub upstairs so will just have to live with the yellow elephant!

I'm really enjoying the Julie/Julia book...lots of things in it that are not in the movie...ie: her brother lives with them (sleepiing on their couch) for the entire project! Yeah...they are in a loft apartment so all one room! Her language is still rather rough but doesn't seem quite so bad as on the blog.

I'll try to watch the posting times on the blog today to see what changes when I go in to edit later in the day. It is now 5:45 am.

It's 12:05 pm...Had a busy morning...Jim went to Downey to have the oil changed in the Porsche...expensive but it's been nearly 3 years....said it would cost $900 to repair the oil leak...I said we'd keep wiping up the oil. The A/C is only $100 to fix but why bother.

Bfk: 1 banana...large & 2 T of flaxseed plus 2 cups of coffee = 175
Lunch: 3 ozs of tuna 100 + 3 oz of cheese 350 = 450 for a total today of: 625 calories
I think that dinner will be a salad!

Best I don't have a glass of wine this afternoon! I did work up a sweat in the attic but got it really clean for Mary F...beds is made and all ready. I also cleaned the guest room...made that bed up and cleaned the den & put the bedding on a table. I'm stopping for the day...after lunch I'm going for a walk. I also took a load to the Good Will and went to the 99 cents store while I was out.

8 pm...Jim is out for a walk and I've been catching up photos in my coffee table book for this year. I hadn't put any in since I finished our trip, Easter and graduations.

Ate dinner about 6 pm....big green salad with slices of tomatoes, a few blackberries, some cumcumber slices and balsamic vinigar. Not sure of the calories but couldn't have been much so I think I've stayed within my goals today. Have eaten jello several times today but that zero so I'm probably just under the 900 calories for the day! The scales will tell tomorrow.
