    This week I am still helping my daughter move out. (It includes a lot of lifting.) After that is done, I will continue with my plan to thoroughly clean my house. (Includes stretches & squats). And then, finally, I will create a daily routine for my continued journey to good health.

    You got an electrician who can fix an ulcer? Awesome! :)

    I have a light switch that is not working. I turn it to "off" but the light high in the attic stays on. I can't reach it to loosen the bulb, and it's too risky to use a ladder with my weight. So our solution: we stuck one of those little plastic toothpick thingy in the light switch to hold it in the actual "off" position. It was a temporary fix, but it's been there 6 or 7 months.

    @CaptainBoing That is wonderful! You found something that you loved and that was good for you. Your choices have transformed you into an amazing person, physically and mentally. I love how you always express with excitement what you're going to do next. You constantly set goals for yourself and achieve them. Thanks for sharing and motivating our group.

    Wow, thanks for the kind words. I have also met some amazing people who enjoy this adventure with me which makes it easier. I still have such a long way to go in so many ways (balance is one and I'm still only at the beginning of my martial arts journey) but I love it when what I have achieved can inspire others.

    What are your plans for the weekend?

    I feel like hibernating this weekend but hubby and I both agree we need to get outdoors and enjoy ourselves and some sunshine. I will going to the gym tomorrow, since I skipped it today. I will probably do a barre class on Sunday mornings, as those always make me feel good. We probably should pack some of our apartment up, too. I really hate packing and moving.

    This weekend I am starting my spring cleaning. Going room by room, floor to ceiling. We need to clean closets, cabinets, wash walls, paint . . . everything needs freshening. Not sure when we did this last but it's been quite a while. My house in not huge but with only weekends available this will take us some time to complete. Through MFP I've learned that little steps add up to success. I find it interesting that my choice of healthier living is reaching out into other areas of my life beyond diet and exercise. I didn't realize my entire life has been affected by not taking care of myself properly. Or maybe I knew and it all seemed so overwhelming. In some ways it would be nice to pack and move and start fresh but that's not where my life is now. So I'll put in the work to get the results. And now that I've shared I'm looking forward to starting tomorrow. Thanks for listening!

    This weekend I'll continue moving my daughter's stuff, continue cleaning the house, continue raking leaves (if it doesn't rain), and maybe power wash some outdoor chairs to freshen them up. I will also continue thinking about doing a squat. :smile: I haven't tried it yet.

    This weekend is my last hectic training session before comp - 45 min fitness and 2 hours of bjj on Sat morning. The rest of the weekend is relaxed, friends, church, some house cleaning and a full moon walk on Sunday! The next week will be mostly low intensity to give my muscles a rest so they can push hard next Sunday!

    Well the electricians will be back things are worse than expected. Honestly I must have a guardian angel as there is no reason why the house shouldn't have gone POOF. Oh here is another thing if we bought the house and it was 50 years old and now have lived in 17 years doesn't the house age? Nope not according to my husband he keeps saying the house is only 50 years old. I guess that's how he looks at himself too. :D

    So I am working the weekend as usual it's nice here too so I'm hoping for an easy day

    My dad always told us that everything has only "a certain number of clicks." He'd say that when something would break or not work right. Two years ago when he died we all had the same thought: His heart only had a certain number of clicks.

    Sweet thought @NewOR2015. My dad is visiting from Arkansas next week, he's 85 so you're comment touched me. Have a good day!
