New Diet Food

I got my new purse and love it! I'm a little more iffy about the wallet because there are not enough card pockets, but I could make it work. It also can function as a clutch purse, which would be handy.

The new diet food so far has been quite good. I had waffles with fruit compote and sausage for breakfast, tofu pad thai for lunch, and chicken eggplant parmesan for dinner. I got my infuser pitcher and am trying strawberries and kiwi in it. I also got my new scale but haven't set it up yet.

The only problem is that I want to eat more food, but I'm trying to distract myself. I also got some Kindle Unlimited books on self-discipline. I wound up having a snack that was on my plan, although it wasn't what I wanted. Go me.

The first week of August is over. Yikes. I bet that August will go fast.

The weight-loss app asks what you are grateful for. I'm lucky to have a job in which we solve problems for people, which makes them happy and appreciative. I would hate to have a job in which people don't like what you're doing.

I'm wondering if I need a life coach to help encourage me to make progress on the house. Expensive though. Okay, I signed up with BetterHelp.

Took a nap and slept through until 11 PM. Oh shit, I just realized that I need to clear the breezeway too. Otherwise, I won't be able to get to the garage.

I tried the water from the infuser. It's good! I didn't have my hopes up.

I got the breezeway cleared. My back is seizing up, so I'm taking a break before moving stuff in the garage. It occurred to me that visualization might help me lose weight and get the house together, so I bought a couple of books and audiobooks on it. I've also been listening to Jim Rohn, which is helping motivate me. I got the area of the garage where the freezer will go cleared out. Now it's bedtime.

Fairly Productive Day

Huh. The new scale says that I have lost weight, and that was late at night and with clothes and shoes on.

I'm starting to think about what to wear on my California train trip. I think that I want to wear yoga pants on the train. They'll be comfortable and presentable.

I woke up a little before my alarm. And for some reason, I started peeing. I hope that it's not a new aging thing. I'm kind of depressed this morning.

Showered, dressed in clean clothes, and makeupped, and I feel much better. Now I wait for the freezer guys.

Ordered more face skin care stuff and new heads for my shaver.

Transferred stuff to my new purse and wallet. The Kindle Scribe fits in it easily. Yay.

Loaded Mom's clothes into the car. Yay.

Worked on gathering receipts. I can't find the receipt for my mom's niche at the cemetery. I put a lot of bills and such in a bag, but where's the bag?

The good news is that the freezer is here. The bad news is that it needs a three-prong to two-prong adapter. I need to go to Lowe's and get one.

Had a nice nap. Ran out to get some dental floss at CVS because I had a coupon and the plug adapter at Lowe's. The new freezer is now chilling.

I finished getting all the receipts together that were in my email. I sent an email to the cemetery asking for a replacement receipt, although I'll keep looking for it.

I looked at gas dryers, but I want to call Lowe's to make sure that they'll take it down to the basement.

I'm kind of not feeling like eating dinner, so I took my nighttime meds, which will make me hungry. I finally made the meal that sounded best to me.

I've been reading Finding Your Own North Star. It makes me think of the saying, "Do that for which you have infinite patience." My Essential Self is screaming that I don't want to clean out Mom's house, but I have to. The things that I love to do are planning trips, reading, singing, swimming when I was younger, spend time with cats, writing when I was younger....

I'm going to go to bed early in the hopes of getting up early.
