There are six misc. small things that still need to get done before it's REALLY finished (put in closet doors, paint entry door, paint panel door, put on a couple more outlet plates, fix the filing cabinet, stain closet doors), but for the most part, all done! Here's the before and after. if you click on the pictures it will take you to more before and after pictures.
I really like the way it turned out. I'm still not sure on the positioning of the bed, but we can always fuss with that later. It's 'decorated' so to speak but I just threw some miscellaneous decorations and pictures together and the furniture doesn't match. But heck, it's a place to sleep! It's better than sleeping on the couch or at a hotel. I do love the way the color turned out for that room. It's really pretty. We used plastic trim that we didn't need to stain and, man, was that a time saver!
Other than that, I finished the cleaning I wanted to do before we leave tomorrow. I'm really excited to get away for a bit. Oh, to sleep in or at least not HAVE to get out of bed right away in the morning!
I had a great phone call with my health care insurance company. I know, it's amazing! Last December I filled out a personal health survey and they called about a month later and asked if I'd be interested in participating with a registered dietitian and physiologist to better my health. Hey, it's free and over the phone, so what the heck. Well, they never called me back, until today. The dude was fabulous. I was so impressed with his knowledge base and how helpful and down to earth he was. Although the guy has done triathlons, he didn't insist I try to work out more (just differently) or do more than I was comfortable with. He was very supportive and when I suggested certain goals he told me to actually back OFF a bit and start slower. He was friendly, helpful and certainly knowledgeable. I was really REALLY impressed. It was everything I wanted my doctor's visit to be!!! So YEAH! They will call back in 45 days and I'm not quite sure who I'll get, but I am hoping it will be this same guy. Man he was GOOD.
So what are my new goals?
1. Eating more protein.
2. Less snacking at night/no wine (waaa!).
3. Vary my workout and do 2 days strength training or other activities other than elliptical.
Ok, well, everyone have a great weekend! Matt's parents are on their way right now and should be here in about an hour and half. My parents get on the road on Saturday morning!
WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical (I did 45 yesterday to make up for the day before)
Tea of the day: 2 cups Cinnamon Spice Black Tea
