Debbie Cousins's Journal, 24 Apr 20

Been a long time since I've made a Journal entry. I'm doing okay. Eating is still out of control. But, since increasing the Wellbutrin, I have had more energy and motivation. With the threat of the community pool not being open this summer (or at the very least opening late), I decided to buy a big pool for the grandkids. We used to have a 15' one when my grand daughter was 2-3, but we took it down when she was 5. She's now 9 and has a 4 year old little brother. And, my son has a stepson who is 13. I usually take them all to the pool at least twice a week during the summer. With the new 18' pool we are getting, we're guaranteed to still have a great summer, in spite of the coronavirus.

Between yesterday and the day before, I pried up and carried 1,700 pounds of paving stones that were laid in the pool area. That's 100 bricks, each weighing 17 pounds! It was nice to see a small loss on the scale this morning as a reward for my hard labor. There are still more bricks to move before we can level the area more smoothly. Then, we have to dig up two swaths of 1 foot by 22 foot grass and earth to expand the area. LOTS of work ahead to get ready before the pool arrives between 4/28 and 5/7!

Even though I haven't been posting, I am still running the Daily Accountability challenges and checking all my notifications every day to see how you all are doing.

A backyard pool sounds exciting! And, congratulations on the weight loss. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, hope things continue to improve. 💛

The pool sounds great, and I'm impressed by your moving all of those bricks! I'm getting my additional exercise by cleaning things that obviously haven't been cleaned in a while. When you sit on the floor in front of things like the open pantry door, you can see lots of things screaming for attention. I've been working on baseboards and inside of cabinet doors this morning.

Well done on hauling those pavers! The pool is a great idea and I hope you have fun with it. Our mental state is the springboard for achievement; I think you are on the right track.

I’m also on Wellbutrin for weight loss I started it this past Tuesday. 150 mg. What did you increase too?
