A couple of things going on. First, my eating is really bad. I haven't stepped on the scale for over a month and guess my weight is 5 to 7 pounds higher. I want to try to stop whatever gaining I'm doing. Until I sell my house or take it off the market, the eating likely won't get much better. I currently pick up most lunches. But I can work on the snacking which has been out of control. Having a new Costco that is so easy to get to, close by and not crowded is fun for me, but dangerous. I am so focused on prices that it is hard to resist bargains. Yesterday I decided to go around 11am and get gas and a hot dog for lunch. That hot dog ended up costing me over $50! Bought cat litter and hair conditioner but also snacks. When I got home, I ate some of all the snacks. I now have in my house 4 huge packages of sweet and salty snacks. I will admit to buy a bag of Ruffles cheddar and sour cream potato chips, my latest obsession. The price was so good, but like everything at Costco, the package is HUGE! Probably 3 to 4 times the size of the party or family size bag. So this morning I woke up determined that each day I will have no more than one of the snacks, and hopefully, just one serving. So today I am trying to achieve that. One of my goals has always been to be able to have snacks in the house, but to leave them alone unless really craving something or to just have a small portion. Before I retired I took a lunch to work and usually brought one pecan sandie for a snack and it satisfied me. That all changed after retirement! So hopefully I'll get through the day as planned. But it's just after 9am! And that goal of having treats in the house is really for once I reach a maintenance weight
I am also trying to figure out what to do about my house. I'm getting more showings, 2-4 a week, but it's so hot that it is miserable for me and Bobby to get in the car and usually just drive around for an hour. Last month it wasn't hot yet, so I would take him to the park or trail to walk. My many, many years as a mortgage underwriter, loan officer and even a real estate agent taught me that homes will sell if they are priced right. And home prices seem to be diving where I live, but not where I want to move. A house about 5 doors away from me was for sale for over 6 months. They had it appraised at $650k and listed at $599k with no offers at all. They took it off the market for a month or so and now have it listed with the top agent in my neighborhood at $525k. I'm watching to see what happens there and am trying how much lower I could go with the price on my house and still be able to buy the house I want in Oregon. I've also thought about just taking the house off the market until things pick up here
