Today's Goals - What are yours?

- Clean up the house - today, the dining room, living room and prep for office.
- Something to relax
- Hit calories again
Did a TON of organizing yesterday. Of course you can't tell because it looks worse before it looks better, but I at least got several boxes of unpacked stuff out of my office, and moved my sewing stuff off the dining room table. Didn't get a chance to weigh the giant ribeye we split for dinner, so guessed at that. We also had some home canned green beans and opened our first jar home canned spiced peaches.
Today the cat sitter comes by for an introduction and to get the keys. Friday, we leave for two weeks back home in MN!- Continue organizing (hide piles of crap before cat sitter arrives)
- Walk or bike ride?
- Hit calories

@conniewilkins56 here is the base recipe. I used the bigger crescent rolls and frozen Tyson chicken chunks (it’s just easier). Heat chicken up on stove. Heat milk and soup. Throw half cheese (I use cheddar instead of mozzarella cause that’s my preference) in with chicken. Roll out crescents and fill. Put in Pyrex dish cover with soup mix and rest of cheese and bake. They are amazing and with lower fat options I got the calories down to decent. I also get a container of Bob Evans mashed potatoes (again go with ease. 6 minutes in the microwave. They are much better than instant) and usually corn. Whole meal done!

Change bed sheets on the two occupied beds and run several loads of laundry, cause the bedroom hamper is full.
Clean up the kitchen since it didn't get done last night.
Go out to the used furniture store down the street and see if they have a suitable twin bed frame cheaply for the guest room. (The ceiling slopes so I can't do much if any of a headboard.)
Make lunch: Hamburgers and chips.
Get Girlfriend and myself to the eye doctor and hope they don't dilate my eyes. It always gives me a migraine.
Make dinner: Either beef with snow peas and onions or a frozen Philly steak white pizza, depending on how I feel after the eye doctor. I keep a few dishes in the freezer that can be substituted in like that if cooking isn't something I can do.
Give everyone their meds on time, insofar as his sleeping permits. Since he is dealing with very high anxiety and hyperarousal, sleep is hard, and my coming in to wake him up would be really scary. So I have to let him get up when he gets up and medicate him in the intervals.

When I first started MFP the scales drove me crazy....I tried getting on them daily or else weekly....the longer I have been on this, the less daily weighing bothers me....I would rather see them going down but if I am eating and weighing food correctly and staying under my goal, I know I am doing this right!...trust in the process!....I was at 260 to 265 almost all summer long no matter if I ate less or exercised more...my body would not let go of the weight...it seems like if I go over my calories or have one less than perfect day, my scales can jump up 3 to 10 lbs!...I am getting numb to it lol.....today I have finally reached my lowest weight!.... I can almost see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!7 -

Today's goals. Take photos of everything I eat and share with FB group regarding weight loss with calories. I like to do it occasionally to keep myself accountable and also share what's working for me (eating a lot and still losing), in case it's helpful for others.1

Bit of a fail, didn't do any of it. Although in fairness the halloween decor issue was that there is none to be found anywhere, I think retailers gave up on it with a second lockdown looming here.
Anyway I am in the office today, so won't be much exercise going on again however I do need to give the apartment a deep clean as Landlord calling tomorrow. The place is pretty clean but not it's usual level of tidiness since my OH moved in with me

We're sort of moving the furnishings around because it's getting colder weather, and we're not wanting to eat dinner out in the sunroom any more. So today I moved (yes, by myself) the loveseat-sized couch from in front of the fireplace in the library out the sliding patio door to the sunroom, and put it in the corner. And then I swept and mopped the floor where the couch and the bookcase next to it was. I had to unload and move a leaning-style bookcase to get the couch out, so once the floor dries I'll put that back and reload it and bring the table in. And that will probably look pretty nice. (The table is a gateleg that goes down narrow, so moving it isn't an issue. The couch was the issue.)1

So I got that done, and played through the phone tree to get my insurance information updated with the change of address, and to get them to send me a letter, because if I have a letter from my insurance and my bank, I can get a library card and get my driver's license updated to show the correct address. And I can see if I can get an appointment with Social Security to flourish my divorce paperwork and become Firstname Maiden Name instead of Firstname Maiden name Married Name. COVID showed up at the WRONG time.2

Goal for today is to not go over my calorie goal ! I ate a little more than normal for lunch so I need to eat a little less for dinner !1

Today I am just going to try to get all the dirty dishes washed, and deal with the rest of things tomorrow. I'm in a fair amount of pain today, and that's something I just have to allow for.2
