Weight loss update:
Iβve been in a plateau/ maintenance cycle for abt 5 months now. I still havenβt reached my goal weight of 180 yet. It varies from be the day being 10 to 15 pounds a week from that goal.
Since the scale is not really moving in, my hair is still freaking falling out π
It feels like itβs been a long 3 years already π’ I just hope it doesnβt last longer.
Oh, you know there is always a cellar. π
Maybe a bit π

Little by little Iβm organizing & throwing out things that are no longer needed.
in the very near future, Iβll be putting together my little herb garden for my back porch and cleaning off said porch, too
Things I have done today: couple of loads of laundry, packing away some blankets and winter clothes, I built a bench that doubles as a shoe hide for my entryway, I built the coat hanger rack to go over the bench that will hang on the wall, Iβve swept and mopped and cleaned my bathroomsβ¦
