Day 7 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD
Weigh in: 144.8
I did decently yesterday, eating more than a woman wanting to lose weight should eat, but stopping shy of gluttony, which is what my Fridays and Saturdays have been for some time now. A proud moment for me was when I wanted to go get more to nibble on and the “one of two pains” quote planted its words square in front of me, and I chose the pain of discipline. Felt great.
At some point in the not-too-distant future, our church is going to need to buy a new organ, and I spent two hours yesterday talking to an organ salesman–also a friend–and playing the organ we’re likely to get. It was SO much fun; that thing has so many bells and whistles I would so enjoy playing with! It probably won’t happen as soon as I’d enjoy, but now I know what’s available, and will be better able to tell people what the likely cost will be. As I drove home, knowing the congregation wouldn’t be buying it soon, I consoled myself by stopping at a nursery and buying the first batch of plants to put in my various pots…FAR cheaper, LOL, and a sure sign of spring finally being here, that we’re all out buying plants!
@jaifaim We too have been having dreadful weather until just now, so I completely sympathize, and to feel awful at the same time compounds the misery. Tell us more about your trip to France!
@mariaelena No wonder your bed feels too hard now that you’re down to 134.3!!! Wowza, girl, you rock!
@i-hate-lettuce You did a FD on holiday? You are clearly the poster boy of how to be disciplined at 5:2!!!!!
@luluf71 Well done that you swerved the chips and guac and had an easy-enough FD!
@songbirdme What an adventure you had to see the Joffrey! I’m sure it was absolutely glorious…I used to have dreams of having a dance studio of my own, knowing I’d never be good enough to actually dance professionally but wanting dance to be a daily part of my life. That didn’t happen, and dance is NOT a daily part of my life, sadly, but it’s a joy to watch a great company perform!
@matpi Interesting article; thanks for posting the link. As to Britbox or AcornTV, which has more shows that you want to watch? And, WOWZA–red wine makes spring and fall allergies worse. Did not know that. So far, my allergies have been nearly non-existent this spring, but I’ll keep that in mind.
@at Thanks for the encouragement about my WFDs–I truly never thought I’d be one who did them!–but what I really long for is the discipline to stick to 1300-1500 calories in between those WFDs. We all have our own strengths, don’t we?
Well, I could keep chattering, but probably should get a start on all the tasks staring me in the face, LOL! Have a grand weekend, everyone, and happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate it tomorrow!
My personal themes for May:
“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” ~ Jim Rohn
“You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way.”
