I’m painting cabinets today and I’m such a mess. Instead of OOTD I’ll post one limb and feel free to guess the color I’m painting my master bath. (NOT blue) Hint. 1. Benjamin Moore Hint 2 . Game of Thrones Can you tell I’m bored waiting for paint to dry?

? OCT 2019 CHALLENGE ?
These exercises are hard, especially the first one. I have been on a decluttering spree for about a month now. It feels great and is calming. It’s really eye opening, I thought most of the clutter and stored boxes were mine. Turns out my husband is the hoarder! I eat carbs, I would be super crabby without some in my diet. Tortillas are my friend.

This is my favorite sweater, I’ve had it for years and it’s a bit big now but I don’t mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I can’t handle thick sweaters.

@sillykitty Thank you, I’m ordering those! I HATE my messed up feet (crooked feet bones) and the older I get less tolerant of uncomfortable shoes. I used to be able to handle it but now the pain gets real and real fast. I saw a podiatrist, but I don’t want surgery, which was recommended. It really limits what I can wear, and I feel so short in flats with a dress. I’ll be 59 at the end of month and I don’t want old lady shoes either lol. ugh, I really need to go to some stores and try some stuff on. I dug these out of my closet, are they still in style? I don’t remember when I bought them. I’m not sure if I’ve even worn them.. I should start a fashion intervention thread.

Can someone call Clinton Kelly or maybe the Queer Eye squad to take me shopping? The Amazon dress is only $27, so I’m going to get that regardless, I have a very similar one that has short sleeves. Maybe I’ll go to Talbots this week and ask for help. I can’t wrap my brain around wearing leather shoes or pumps with bare feet.

Weight loss stats!
I lost slowly and it was difficult because it made no sense and it was very frustrating at times. In hindsight, I am glad it took longer because I don’t take a single pound lost for granted. I do think there are pitfalls with both. There is a risk of giving up when the weight loss is slow.

I need your input. I’m going to a “meet the new members” party at the CC we joined. It isn’t super stuffy and it is not a formal event but I’m unsure what to wear. I’ll have to go shopping, so I hoped I could pick your brains before I go. I like this dress. (It’s black) My issue is I hate wearing heels and do women no longer wear nylons? H.e.l.p. m.e. The second picture is more me. I would wear this with black pants, but again I don’t know what shoes to get. (And I don’t have black pants yet..lol) I have awful feet so it’s difficult for me to find shoes.

You are getting noticeably smaller each week. Great outfit!

I NEED SAVORY!!!
I had the same problem when I was on the 2 week pre op diet. I cut my protein shakes with half decaf (cold) coffee. It made them more palatable and way less sweet.

Thank you both @FluffyChix and @GreenTealael for your ideas. Has anyone had the prepared Quinoa salad from Costco?

Food Before and After Photos
Are you trying to make me hurl? Lol read my post. I do eat eggs, shrimp and white fish. I don’t stay full as long with those “softer” proteins. But I could break up my dinner in 2 parts. I’ve never had chunks of tofu, the texture scares me.

I look on Zappos to see what I like first. (And to see what the kids are wearing these days I used to order straight away but have found the same shoes/boots at a much lower price elsewhere sometimes by googling.

Food Before and After Photos
I am SO sick of chicken, actually I’m sick of eating so much meat. I’ve hit a culinary wall. I went through a 3+ month phase of wanting everything to be spicy, now even medium spicy is overwhelming to me. I’m such a picky eater, (texture & taste) it’s hard for me to think of alternative recipes and sources of protein. I won’t eat cheese, (except melted mozzarella mixed with something ) yogurt, mayo, avocado or sour cream to name a few. Cheeseburgh is a combo of being from Wisconsin (aka cheesehead) while I was living in Pittsburgh. Anyone have ideas? Maybe lentils would be good.

So, I asked my husband, his reply: I just told you yesterday that Aldi’s was the biggest client we have now on xyz. (He is on the board of xyz) I need to start paying attention to life.

I was not good at sticking with the squats although I really need to do them. In maintenance and holding steady at 128-130. I tend to stick with ab and plank challenges better.
