Motivational Monday ~ Finally 75

It's a late Motivational Monday post again. Surprise surprise. Another weekend where I felt defeated. Saturday our oven died on us. I was a little concerned as we hadn't planned for this expense and we had planned to purchase a new oven in the spring of 2014. I was all prepared, and a little eager, to buy a new double oven. I have been wanting one for some time now, however, Bill wanted a shot at fixing our oven. Which he did, but not before we found out that our oven back up, our newest slow cooker, had also died on us.

Needless to say it was a stress filled weekend. I did manage to get a lot of our baby stuff sorted out and give it away. I think it has gone to at least 5 new homes so far. I still have baby girl stuff and bedding for both a girl or boy, but I am sure we can put it to use eventually. SOMEONE has to have a baby eventually. Right?

We got plenty of housework done during our down time and we finally have the use of our closet and the double closet in the boy's room. For the first time since we moved in I feel a little less trapped by our clutter. A sign of good things to come I hope.

 On to a weigh in report...

 Today I finally got some of that water weight off. This lovely time of the month always leaves me tired, bloated and angry. I'll be glad to see a little more come off but for now, I'm (da da da da!!!!) 183.8 and that means I've lost a whopping 75lbs! Today I put in an extra 30 mins on the treadmill so tomorrow I will have probably put on some water weight as a punishment. I can only say, that it will come off and I just have to be patient. Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

 One of the things you learn about losing weight is that it's slow, and not gonna happen every day or even every week. I have gone 2 weeks without change, only to see a lot come off in the 3rd week. Days with no change can be frustrating, but go a week without any change and you might feel like giving up. Still, I have to do this. I feel like if I quit now I might go right back to where I was. One thing I don't want is to relapse. Here's to the next 5 lbs before I reach that wonderful 80lb mark! I CAN DO THIS!
