2. While talking with financial planner (former boss) about rolling it over, we couldn't help talking books. He asked how many I had read so far this year. When I told him, he groaned a bit that I was ahead of him again. We talked about best books we had read this year, and he told me about his favorite so far. I looked it up later, and it is one of a trilogy about traveling in the U.S. None are available at our library, so I ordered used, "very good condition" copies of each of the three to put away for somebody's Christmas present. We've always enjoyed his book recommendations. (That makes three Christmas gifts so far.)
3. We still had a $50+ credit at the vet, so that was nice to get subtracted from our bill for Rudy's annual exam and vaccines.
4. I've lost fifty pounds since I retired from full-time work, and my blue jeans are too big. I've put off buying new ones, but the time was now or have them fall down. I received an email this week that offered 40% off denim items, so I took advantage.
5. I don't frequent Starbucks. I don't get manis or pedis. I've gone a loooong time since my last hair cut. I use the lilbrary as my first choice of obtaining books.
What we ate this past week:
Saturday: leftovers
Sunday: takeout barbecue
Monday: pot pies
Tuesday: Homecooked meal from the freezer (curry)
Wednesday: Homecooked meal from the freezer (meatloaf & twice baked potatoes)

Go you! Great list.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I was sitting with my feet up most of the week, it seems like I got a lot done. :)
DeleteYour weight loss is amazing! I can't say that I've lost any at all. Must.try.harder!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been dieting my entire life! I am not doing a thing to lose weight at this time. No meal plan, no carb reduction or protein increase. I'll write about it soon maybe.
DeleteI feel like that will be my experience with weight loss, too. Stress tends to make the weight pile on what with eating more or making poorer choices or just the cortisol of the stress. Retiring was obviously your ticket!
ReplyDeleteIf I had known, I'd have done it a lot sooner! :)
