Some hellish virus has entered my system and left me feeling terrible, none the less I am holding true to my new healthier eating plan. I am proud to announce a 7lb weight loss so far, with hardly a cheat or a slip up to report. I think putting my progress out there,(and the person who stares back at me from the mirror who does not at all reflect the person I am inside), is keeping me motivated. Whatever it is I hope I don't lose it, because after all these years I'd love to love my body. I am going to take some before shots and post them here on my blog. Then in a few months time I'll take new ones and post them, and hopefully there will be some "changes" to see.
I have been trying my darnedest to keep the house tidy, but try as I may "something(s)" always comes along and messes it up behind me. I mean I could build a mountain out of the stuff I sweep of the floor every week! The points chart has been working well with the kids, and while they are still my mess monsters, they are trying a little harder to help out. What more can I ask for I suppose? They're kids, and at the end of the day when I kiss their sleeping faces, I love and appreciate everything about them. The messy, the noisy, with potatoes in their ears and all.
MJB and I had a fun night out on Saturday at an early Halloween party (without the kids), and I can't believe he stayed out past 11 o'clock! He likes to get a good nights sleep, and I don't blame him, but in the moment I usually choose more fun and festivities over sleep. Then MJB goes home without me, and I dance the night away. This night though, we went home at the same time, not too early and not too late for either of us. We need more nights like that, and fall is the perfect time for fun nights in with good friends. Those little things bring MJB and I closer together, seems like laughing with friends is like therapy for our relationship.
