170.0 Again and a Laundry List of Happenings-with updated Negative Nelly Post

I gave up coffee and replaced it with tea and greater quantities of water this week. It seems to be doing the trick a bit. I have steadily lost ounces everyday this week. This morning the scale returned 170 exactly. It is not yet back to my brief brush with 166 but I will take it and plod steadily forward towards goal.

I leave for New York next Thursday. I still hate to give myself clothing rewards but will probably crumble if I find anything while I am there. I am pondering boots just now.

We are in all battle stations getting the house re-prepared to go on the market. It is amazing how you can make a list of things that need to be done and then keep finding more and more as you get that list done. Yesterday it was painting my main hallway and a bathroom. Today it will be a bit of tiling and a massive move of stuff to storage. Sunday and Monday will be cleaning day sand I am sure more fixing.

Update:
arghghghg-this is why I envy the people who manage to get stuff done. I spent all afternoon typing math solutions into documents and uploading them for my class. I have now spent 4 hours past when I was ready to go to bed typing up articles for the paper I volunteer for (these are one day late I might add). Work on the house? Nada---cleaning...nada zip. I am drowning in mess here and it drives me nutty.

On the food front-it was crap. I did not eat one meal today. cookies, popcorn, one cup of tea and 2oz of cheddar cheese. I am hungry right now but at 1 am I am just asking for yet another night of missed sleep this time hanging in the bathroom hacking up acid. Nooo thank you. I will settle for a much needed glass of water and sleep. Last night I didn't sleep because I was stressing about the stuff I finally got done this afternoon. and yep..i am a negative Nelly tonight.

That's great, well done. I drink lots of coffee, I really ought to do the same as you.
Enjoy NY, I'm so jealous!
