Hubby and I saw a house we really like it's about 50k over what we wanted to spend, but other than some paint it looks really nice and has 2 acres of land. It is a lot more upkeep than our current house. I would actually like a slightly smaller house, but none of the smaller houses have the storage we need for all of our crap. We were fixing up our house to either love it or list it. I really like the rooms we redid, but we lack storage in a major way. This house is less than a mile from our place.
I'm cautiously excited to see it in person.

Wow @pridesabtch that is a lovely looking house. I'm not surprised you're keen to view it. Though it would be cheaper to just get rid of your crap

LOL. Most of the problem is closet space. Hubby and I share a small closet. I have clothes ranging from size 2 - 14 that I cycle through every few years. Just can't bare (or is it bear) to get rid of the smaller sizes just yet...

No baked goods (failed this yesterday but still managed to go down on scale, which is a dangerous thing for me. I will try to justify its ok to eat things.. No more cookies in the house to try to keep that from continuing to happen)1 -

Yesterday was okay. Went to my SIL's place to make sure we could watch graduation on the TV at her place. My mother-in-law is not well enough to go to watch my niece graduate in person, but it is being live streamed. The in-laws don't have a smart TV, so we are going to go to my SIL's and pull it up on her TV so she can watch. It will take about 3 hours and be incredibly boring, but it's what you do for those you love.
Before going to SIL, I've got work and then swing by mom's to sort bills. Nothing more really planned.

Ack! My posting and logging has been hit or miss lately. When I logged all food for today, I was disappointed in myself when I realized even with a 4.24 mile walk with dog, calories were way in the red. Days like yesterday don't help; hubby and I and one of his sisters went up north to put flowers on their parents' graves, and that meant another day of 3 hours in a car and a restaurant lunch. No wonder my weight is going the wrong way. I guess there's always the next day.
Recap 5/24 F
1) Egg rolls from freezer for supper (feeling really lazy tonight) / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walked dog 4.24 miles thankfully rain didn't arrive until afternoon, happy dog & happy me
JFTomorrow 5/25 Sat.
1) Get up when alarm rings / first farmers market of the season / buy herb & tomato plants
2) Supper? / log all food / 64+ oz. water
3) Walk dog
4) Figure out pots / need soil? / plant / go to nursery for annuals? / grocery shop? / other?

About me:I'm Carmela

Height 5'4"

2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.
* lentil rice sausage tortellini soup ~ very good, recipe is keeper
* glazed lemon cookies ~ everyone loved them at Easter dinner
* rhubarb cobbler (in my first cookbook) ~ very good, I want to try other fruit this summer

March: 5 days x1wk, 4x1, 3x1, 0x1 [ack... prep house & food for Easter dinner; 1 wk overnight trip to visit parents]
April: 4 days x2wks, 3x1, 2xa [lots of lousy weather, plus 1 wk overnight trip]- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training

House was really disappointing. We’d have to put over $150k into fixing it up, and the rooms were much smaller than I thought.2
