Home Improvement
Yesterday I had Mexican for supper. Not good for staying within my points. I ate ALOT of chips and salsa and my entire entree of chicken fajita quesadilla. Very tasty!
The Olympics started. I really like to watch the speed skating. Makes me want to find my skates and do laps around the ice.
My husband I spent Saturday afternoon touring new homes looking for painting ideas for our interior. We saw lots of nice houses but we didn't really get any good ideas. We did learn a couple things though. 1. We need to make a color decision that has an impactful change, re: no beige. 2. If we go too neutral it will seem like we didn't change paint colors at all. Builders all seem to be using a neutral tan color now. We have to make a decision soon because our painter is starting on the 20th. Rob had a great idea about how we can update our house with little effort but big impact. We're going to replace all the interior and exterior door knobs with more modern hardware and put drawer pulls on all the cabinetry. I love the idea. We went shopping after supper to look at hardware, knobs, glass shower doors and lighting.
We also talked about the "contest". We may call it Rob's Challenge. More to get him moving and healthy, which will in theory help keep me moving and healthy. If it's about Rob, then I make the rules for him to follow. I need to really think about the rules I want for him. I know what I would want him to do, but I also want to be realistic about what he will do. If I make things too hard, he'll won't want or be able to stick with it. I made him watch Biggest Loser with me last night. There were several scenes when I turned to him and said "See?".
This morning I didn't go to the club, but I did use our exercise bike. We're going out for brunch later. Such a hard meal to eat out and stay within points. I'm going to just give myself a break and eat what I want within reason and make up for it at supper and the rest of the week.
Ugh...the rest of the week...I go back to work tomorrow.
