Okay so the painting of the bathroom is choosing to be more difficult than expected!!! Who knew that 20 plus years of tobacco and a gas heater would destroy a paint job. Our bathroom was so bad that when you took a shower or really hot bath the walls would drip this gross yellowish brown stuff. Yuck!!! I would wipe it down, but it would always come back. Sort of reminds me of a bad horror movie. lol.
So yesterday, I spent the better part of the day priming the walls. By the end of the day I had almost 3 coats of primer on the walls and some of the walls needed some more. Now I'm using KILZ primer and it's taking this many coats. Whew. While I was killing myself painting, I would get tired and frustrated and found myself heading toward the fridge. I wouldn't eat the really bad stuff like the chips, candy, and that kind of stuff I would eat other bad stuff like peanuts, and multiple cups of sugar free chocolate pudding. Oh and for good measure, I would throw in some cheese too.
I am still having a hard time with some solid foods since I sort of quit eating while out at moms house. So simple things like lunchmeat and cheese sort of give me fits to keep down. The only good part of the whole day was that I actually drank the right amount of water. Woo hoo!!! I downed 4 bottle of water. Yeah.
So today, I had to take my mom and sister out shopping. What should have been a short day turned into half a day of shopping. So there was no painting for me this afternoon. Then once I got home, I got chatting with a new friend, and still no painting done. My weekend is going to be fun filled days of painting and putting the bathroom back together again. No fun for the wicked, and I must be really bad this week. lol.
I have still not eaten any of my items I gave up for Lent and I am really proud of that. Now if I can turn my head off from the other eating ideas, I think I will be on my way.
A few things have happened that have boosted my confidence, so for now, I am feeling really good about myself. I am going to hold onto that feeling for as long as I can, and hopefully it will stick for good. I hope so because I feel like the old me again. Fun, sexy, and intellegent. All things I should carry with me at all times.
