One definitely needs to get in a mindset to do it. If I feel wishy-washy I stop and do something else clear-cut for a while. I am not purging by size, but rather if I have worn it or not for the last 4 years which covers my goal weight range and my regain weight. I too know I have to think about not necessarily staying at the same weight. Shoes are the same way. I still had some clothes and shoes from when I last worked (November 2017) and haven't worn since then - gone!

I want to be just like you when I grow up!

Not much house progress yesterday as we had quite a few errands to do including getting beach stickers for my town and DH's for the family members. One front porch was power washed and I went through my backup closet and got rid of a lot of clothing. There is still a LOT there. I am going to have to get a fairly large portable closet to put into the basement of DH's home when I move. Possibly I will pare more at that point but I already had 5 bags of stuff. Some of it made me shake my head: 3 black dresses which were essentially the same style? Late this afternoon I will either attack my main closet or start on the pain cans and other possibly hazardous materials downstairs. Not fun but necessary. The dumpster comes tomorrow and I am getting a storage unit at the end of the week to start moving DS's excess stuff out. We have a donation pickup scheduled for July 12, but will do one or two drop offs of things that organization won't take prior to that. A lot of work still!

Good news though! DS has an apartment. I think he will like it and is very excited that his cat will have a nice view of the woods out the window LOL. We may have to juggle where he is going to live just prior to his move as I may be ready to put the house on the market before his early August move date.

I have a PT session today. The last one was almost 4 weeks ago before I went to Aruba. I did my PT every day while I was gone with the exception of travel days and snorkel days. I know I have made progress but it will be interesting to know if I am as far along as I should be. After that I might spend some time at the beach before my work on the house. It is supposed to be a beautiful day.

Have a torsible Tuesday!

Speaking of energy ... next bday (in December) I'll turn 79. That number sounds so bizarre. I certainly don't feel or move like I imagined decades ago I'd be feeling and moving at this age. To be clear, I feel and move really well.

I do know how very, very fortunate and privileged I am to be so healthy and mobile at this age. So much of our late-in-life has to do with our genetic inheritances.

I also know how quickly at this phase of life (which has many phases) one's self-satisfaction in feeling and acting younger than one's contemporaries can be crushed by a life altering diagnosis or an accident.

But until then I'll follow my doctor's advice and "Just keep moving!"

DD, I hope you know what a great writer you are!
