DAY FIFTY-SEVEN: Friday

100 Days, , ,

I think I’m mostly over my cold. I still have a trace of a residual cough, and I’m quite tired by the end of each day.

Tonight I shall be trying to sort and price items for the yard sale that we hope to hold tomorrow. Of course the weather is looking damp.

Again, I am feeling extremely frustrated because of the endless amount of stuff I have accumulated, and the way that no matter how much I think I have removed, the room still seems cluttered to the point of being impassible. I had to move a half-dozen boxes and bags to access the computer to type this post.

DAY FIFTY-SIX: Thursday

100 Days,

Last year, Thursday was my “official” weekly weigh-in day. That was back when I was exercising regularly and maintaining a mostly Paleo eating style. This year I am back at or above my starting weight of a year ago. In fact, my weight seems to be creeping upward. As of today I weighed in at a wopping

197 POUNDS

On the way to work today I stopped at WalMart and picked up a few more plastic storage bins. I need additional larger bins for odd-sized items.

DAY FIFTY-FIVE: Wednesday

100 Days,

Moving things from cardboard boxes into plastic storage containers, and pulling out stuff for a yard sale.

Back in 1912 or so, Theodore Roosevelt got shot prior to giving a speech. The bullet lodged in his rib. He spoke for an hour before going to the hospital. He recovered in about two weeks. It is taking me longer to recover from a mere COLD than it took T.R. to bounce back after GETTING SHOT! 🙁

DAY FIFTY-FOUR: Tuesday

100 Days, ,

Tired. Still coughing and easily tired. I sold the white key tops and the black wood keys from the piano I disassembled through eBay this past weekend. The white key tops sold for $26 including shipping and the black keys sold for $25 including shipping. I mailed off the white key tops today. I am awaiting payment on the black keys. Recently about one in three eBay sales results in a non-paying bidder.

Work is stupid and I hate it. How’s that for a mature, thoughtful, productive response to a situation?

On the bright side, my 37-1/2 inch stomach and 36-1/2 inch waistline are still smaller than the national average.

DAY FIFTY-THREE: Another Monday

100 Days, , ,

Another Monday. Another early morning. Another day at work. Still feeling the vestiges of the cold, so I’m pretty well wiped out by the time I get home.

I stopped at WalMart on the way home from work and purchased a dozen plastic storage bins in a variety of sizes. I am intending to leave nothing packed in cardboard boxes by the time I’ve finished cleaning out The Room of Doom.

DAY FIFTY-ONE: Recap Fail

100 Days, , ,

Today is supposed to be a halfway point recap on the progress I’ve made toward my “100 Days” goals. Now what were those goals again? Ever since I came down with this cold at least thirteen days ago I’ve felt too congested, woozy, and lethargic to do anything. I’m still not feeling much better – slightly less sinus congestion at this point, but the cough is lingering and I have zero energy or enthusiasm to do anything, including writing the recap I wanted to write.

I weighed myself today. 194.8 pounds. Stomach circumference is 38-1/2 inches relaxed, 37-1/2 inches pulled in.
