I agree, I really love the shower and how the window shapes mirror the tile on the floor, especially - wonderful, luxurious space!
 
I love the shower too. I thought of it when I was in ours this morning. It looks sensational! SO spacious.
 
Good morning!

Still working on the house... they have started my floors and the tile is completed. Now I'm waiting on:

Interior:
floors finished
bath hardware installed
few tweaks on cabinets
shower doors installed
shoe trim
doors put back on in beds
undercounter lights

Exterior
stain for wood and door painted
driveway poured
irrigation
crawl space sealed
lawn graded and grass seed
steps in garage

I was hoping before Thanksgiving, but not sure if it will happen. We'll see!

As for diet/exercise, I have eliminated chips and crackers completely. I had started binging a little on them since I quit sugar back in Feb. I'm pretty much allowing myself anything else right now except - sugary deserts, chips, crackers. My weight is 178.

Went to the gym yesterday and really pushed myself on the stair mill. Heart rate was about 150-180 for 20 mins. I must be in better shape because the stair mill does not kill me like it used to. I've also been walking the dog 3 miles in the woods. I'm curious to see how increasing exercise and eliminating these binge foods will affect the scale.

Have a great day all!
 
I know people say it's 80% diet and 20% exercise, but I find when I am more active, it makes a huge difference. It's also an hour out of my day when I am guaranteed to not be eating!

Sounds like you are getting there with the house.
 
Wow, you're almost done with the interior!!! Are you excited to move in? You're doing so great with exercise and I bet cutting out the chips is really going to help. Do you have a calming sort of practice for when you feel like binging? I need to meditate more, but am also experimenting with deep breathing when I feel upset and want to reach for food.

Hope you have a really great day, too!
 
Good morning!

Been somewhat busy. Last Friday, I went on a retreat with my AA women's group. It was amazing! It was a spiritual retreat and we had a leader who brought a theme and discussion topics. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be going back next year if it's doable.

Other than that, just busy with the house and life in general. My floors are about finished. They are supposed to pour the driveway today. Many odds and ends but the finish line in within sight!
 
The trip away sounds lovely. A teacher I know runs women's yoga retreats, probably something similar really, I must try to go on one next year.
 
A spiritual retreat sound so wonderful! Glad you had such a great time! Does it feel really good having the floors in? I really felt like it was our house, instead of our construction site, after the flooring went in. Happy November!
 
I don't have many update photos, but here's a few!

They poured the driveway. Still waiting on paint for door and stain for wood.

My stove is induction, which I've never used before, but am excited to experiment with and hopefully do some healthy cooking in this kitchen!
 
It's all fabulous! It looks like a cozy, wonderful dream home!!! I have an induction cooktop, and it's wonderful being able to cook everything so much faster and more evenly!
