Day 168: Moving On

 





Today is day 168 of Nutrisystem 2.0 and thanks to the air conditioning I slept pretty well ! Too well maybe, it was tough to get out of bed !


Breakfast was waffles, lunch was 1/2 pepperoni pizza. Afternoon snack was cottage cheese & oatmeal cookies. Dinner was 2 hotdogs. Evening snack was vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

I didn't get on the treadmill today BUT I did exercise ! I mowed the larger part of the yard during my lunch hour and finished the rest after work. I'm planning to do the weed trimming during lunch tomorrow.

Work was steady today and I have some new projects from my boss so I worked until 7 tonight to get those started. I'm going to work all the OT I can so that I can continue to add to my savings.

My siding guy came by just after 5 with the contract, so that is now signed. He hopes to start the job on July 10 and I don't have to pay him anything until 7 days before he starts. It's scary to spend $43k when you may be losing your job but the house needs it and as I've said before, if my mom hadn't died I wouldn't even have this money. I think she would be happy to see it used to improve my home.

Good Riddance 2023

  It's the last day of 2023 and I can't say I'm not happy to see it go. The year was not all bad but the bad seems to outweigh the good.  The bad: spending 2 months thinking I was going to lose my job. I naively thought finding a new job with comparable benefits would be easy but I quickly found that my lack of a college degree and lack of any professional certifications pretty much puts me at the bottom of any pile. My "resume" was crap and my interview skills were woefully inadequate. Fortunately for me, that 2 month scramble was all for nothing. I emerged with my job and a requirement to go to the Rochester office once a month. A deal with Chuck to do the driving in exchange for me contributing to gas ($25 per month) made it an easy ask for me. It's nice to be able to chat with Chuck in person during the 90 minute drive each way, so there is an upside there ! The good: getting the vinyl siding & new garage door done. Thanks to my inheritance from mom th...

Let's Hear It For The Weekend !

  As much as I wanted to sleep in this morning, by 8 am Abby and my bladder were screaming that it was time to get up. As always, once I'm up I'm fine and that it's for the day when it comes to sleep. I always tell myself I can take a nap, but I never do. Breakfast was a cinnamon roll and a yogurt. Today was the first day I lamented the loss of the tea cookies I used to have with my yogurt. This is probably because I was super hungry by the time I had the yogurt. Lunch was a pepperoni pizza melt before I went out. After shopping I had 2 slices of apple bread, then dinner was broccoli and a meatloaf sandwich. Evening snack was a vanilla ice cream sandwich and later a concoction I made. I sliced the 2 remaining Honey Crisp apples ( they were small ) and microwaved them for 3 minutes with a little water. Ok so far .. but then came the calorie bomb: cinnamon sugar, caramel sauce & whipped cream. Yet again .. it was good but didn't knock my socks off. The peels ruined it...
