Two dynamos came into my house last night and ripped up the carpet in my dining room. I'm referring to Mari and her daughter Maddy. They recently ripped up carpet in their home and they thought it was so much fun, they couldn't wait to tackle my floor. Boy, I felt my age. I really found it hard to keep up with them. Mari was so efficient at it, I threatened to knit right in her face. Knitting is one thing I do fairly well that Mari doesn't. It was my way of bolstering my ego. However, I really appreciate their efforts. As you can see the floor came out very nicely. There are a few stains and scratches. I'll have to sand and varnish, but not a lot of either one. And the floor is nice enough, I'll be able to put off those two tasks, and putting in quarter round until next summer. Mari will probably be wanting to get to the living room carpet even before the splinters in her butt heal.
On the dieting front, things are much better. I'm still dealing with joint pain, but I see the doctor on Friday. I think once that appointment was made, I was able to renew my efforts. In addition to starting fresh, Weight Watchers has changed their program. Whereas, the program counted calories, fat grams and fiber grams in the past, it now has us counting fat grams, protein grams, fiber grams, and carbohydrate grams. No calories are in the figuring. This has really enlivened my diet because it has made most fruit and vegetables free, and believe me, I tested it. I plugged in things like 20 apples and it still counted them as zero points. And although it's only been a couple of days, I can tell it's working. I've lost all but maybe 2 of the 11 pounds I put back on over the two previous weeks. And I'm full!!! If I feel the need to munch, I grab some carrots, cauliflower, an apple, grapes, or an orange. It's awesome!!!
