YES-SIR-REE, tis the middle of the week. How am I doing at decluttering, dieting and such? In some cases not so good and other doings not so good. At the end of the week, the Dining room table will be completely cleared off and the Pantry completely finished.
The DECLUTTERING has been slow as molasses. The DIETING is slow as molasses, but seeing a little progress. I stepped on the scales this morning and decided the weight I am had made progress. I understand that slow weight loss is the better kind as it is less likely to bounce back on you. I never want to be as heavy as I have been AGAIN. NEVAH.
Since 2020, I have lost, put on again, taken off again 40 to 50 pounds. AT present date, it would be 40 pounds. I lost 50, put 10 on. Took it off...put it back on. Took it off and put it back on and took some off. Put it back on and added more. A twenty pound battle. Took 12 off. Working at losing more. Oh boy, this is tricky. Come my birthday, I pray that I am 10 pounds lighter.
The weight I am is still in the obese category. Oh boy, the day when I can say I AM JUST OVERWEIGHT will be a HAPPY DAY. When have you heard someone tell you that they were rejoicing because they were finally in the OVERWEIGHT category??? I dreaded being overweight before, but the obese part took over and I felt out of control. I was out of control and didn't know why. My weight steadily climbed after I had my thyroid taken out.
I told the doctors I was gaining weight. I guess I should have asked the Endocrinologist what to do about this. My primary doctor told me to cut calories and exercise more. There was no mention about hormones being out of whack or cutting carbs.
Gosh....it's been something else.
The direction of my life has had to change. Hours of reading about health issues filled my resume. HOURS that turned into years of it.
My LIFESTYLE has had to change. It can be done. This morning my Breakfast was Cottage Cheese sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with a handful of BLUEBERRIES. I loved it. Of course I LOVE COTTAGE CHEESE. I have no trouble eating it.
The recipes on the internet where Cottage Cheese is used are limitless. Of course I have not tried them, but have plans to after I get some more COTTAGE CHEESE. Ice Cream, fudge and cakes galore. Gluten-free and keto friendly.

After I walked yesterday, I heated up being red in the face and burning up. I slowly cooled down. I enjoyed the weather and the sights I saw as I walked. That's a bonus. NOW to break in some tennis shoes I have. Before I go walking at the fitness center, I'll have to wear tennis shoes and not my outdoor, everyday shoes. Plus I need to gather up some walking clothes. I have plenty of tee-shirts, but no decent shorts or sweats. Making a plan and sticking to it.
TODAY, it will be a quick trip to MANHATTAN to get a couple of containers and look for LIVE LAVENDER to plant in them. I LOVE LAVENDER, so I will boost my spirits having some flowering lavender on my property. Free to enjoy the beauty. Eye candy and fragrance to my nostrils.
