Sweet 16!

Drum roll please….I’m down 16 pounds as of today! 

Is it super easy? Not really but I can say that it isn’t super hard either. It takes a lot of planning and I’m talking A LOT and I am making more and more lists and remembers to both update them and check them once I go somewhere. Have I slipped up a little? Sure. I’m still figuring things out but I can say that I do feel healthier, even if it is only in my mind. 

I went to try on the next sized down in scrubs and my self confidence was completely shaken and my little balloon of pride got burst. They still don’t fit. Now mind you, my work in its infinity wisdom goes from an x-large to a 3-X. There isn’t any sizes in-between. I would guess that I need a 1x right now. The 3x is falling off of me, literally. Two people have asked me about my clothing selection and I’ve had to tell them that the next size doesn’t fit yet, making it rather awkward for the both of us. Oh well, what are you going to do? I’ll just keep sticking to the program and hopefully one day soon the x larges fit again. 

I am ready for the long weekend. Believe it or not, the front two flower beds got weeded over the weekend. It looks so great. I re-claimed my birdie patio that Gilbert built for me last year. Gilbert helped weed, otherwise, I don’t think that either one of the beds would be done by now. We’ll continue with the weeding, only 5 more beds to go but who is counting? The weather is supposed to be perfect so I don’t mind working outside with the nicer weather. The humidity broke over the weekend and it was absolutely perfect outside. Hunter was the only one complaining about having to be outside for the weekend. He wanted to go indoors. 

I wasn’t feeling the housework thing on Monday evening but I decided that I would rather push the vacuum cleaner than get on the treadmill or the exercise bike. I vacuumed the entire upstairs and it looks good. I finished up the vacuuming and did the downstairs last night. I battled with the spiders, yuck. Hunter barked the entire time that I was vacuuming and would go to the back door to see if Gilbert was home yet so he could complain about me. He wasn’t very excited about the housework yesterday. I am still playing catch-up on the things that I want to get accomplished but the list is getting shorter and shorter.

Hope everybody is having a good week, at least it is the middle of the week!
