(no subject)

Well, just had the final Christmas get-together with friends, so today I am de-decorating. On the one hand, I'm happy to put things away, but on the other, it's fun to have festive stuff out. Glad to have had it up til now.

This week, hubs is putting together my new shelves in the study. Yay! Pics will follow. So now I have: desk, sofa, new ceiling fan/light (with Supernatural pulls!), and an area rug. The shelves will start clearing up the boxes I have sitting full of stuff. I still need a TV. Ultimately will also have a docking station and monitor for the laptop, and we'll paint. Yes, painting should probably have been first, but rather do it when the windows can be open, plus nothing would have changed yet.

I joined Noom some months ago, and i really like it. Way more doable that WW for me. But because I was doing it so-so, I've only lost 10 lbs. Now, before Noom, I wasn't sure I'd ever lose anything again, so I am pretty happy about the 10. Nonetheless, more must be dropped. Made it through the holidays without a gain (a 2 lb. fluctuation back and forth) so now I am recommitted.

One of the stumbling blocks is drinking. I like to drink. Since pandemic, hubs and I have been drinking substantially more :-P Now with holidays over, we are taking ourselves in hand. My current allowance is two a day Sunday-through Thursday, and then I can have an extra on Friday and Saturday, if I choose. I'm hoping for more weight loss, plus it's when I have more to drink that the eating self-discipline tends to fail ;-)

Also, I'm now on the treadmill twice a week. Hoping to go to 3 times this week, after two weeks at the 2x. I'm going slowly because I am way out of shape and don't want an injury derailing me. I haven't done karate since (again) pandemic, so I'm also gently walking thought some forms and combinations, to loosen up. Lots of stretching. This should also help with the weight loss, and also toning.
