Stuck (sorta)
Thursday:
I am very frustrated. I feel like I've reached a sticking point. The scale has been bouncing around, and is currently up 0.4 pounds from last week. I haven't really changed anything. So I'm wondering whether I've reached a plateau, or a point where my calories in and out have achieved an equilibrium and I'll need to make more changes to continue to lose? I dunno, I just wish that it had happened on the other side of 170.0 and the holidays.
In other news, I've continued to sort through clothes. I found a couple of very nice sweater/shirts that I really like. Things I didn't love have gone in the donate pile as well as a bunch more too big stuff. I have another large box ready to donate this weekend. That feels good.
While the kitchen has been torn up we've gone through every cabinet and drawer. We donated a few things and organized better. The cabinets feel much less cluttered, which is nice. And we know what we have and where it is. So that's a win. I have another small project I'd like to do in the kitchen next year (no more remodeling is on the plan for a while) which will make it more functional until I can find a cabinet maker to build some additional lowers and redo my counter tops.
Friday:
Realized this morning I never hit publish yesterday. That's how my day went.
Scale: 169.8 - down 0.2 pounds for the week. At this point. I'll take it.
Kitchen: Still no kitchen. This time they said the floor wasn't level enough. My FIL raised 7 flavors of holy heck on Lowe's (in his nice southern gentleman way). Besides the fact that the jacka$$ who came out to measure & take down the details should have known this, he'd never heard of VCT flooring (big red flag), ordered the wrong amount of everything that he managed to order the right thing of (and we have a bunch of useless stuff that won't work) and all in all this has been a goat screw. FIL and a friend are coming today to do the darn floor themselves, because yes the floor IS level enough to put down floor on.
Anyway.
Have a good weekend.

My husband does a lot of handyman work, and he has come to hate Lowe's for just the same sort of reasons, messing up orders, people who don't really know enough about their department to be working there. Were they supposed to install the floor? Will you get a refund for having to do it yourselves?
I love that your clearing things out. I need to do the same and have been in teeny tiny steps. I have anxiety about donating. Lol. It's silly but true. Plus I am lazy about taking things to donate if I deem then acceptable.
