I forgot to mention here, I weighed myself at my moms and her scale showed I had lost 8 pounds. Well I just chuckled and told mom I loved her scale. I didn't believe it was right. I haven't been dieting or exercising. I weighed myself at home and it said the same thing! Then I got to thinking. I have been more active and eating better. I normally skip breakfast but have been eating weight watchers oatmeal in the mornings and then also eating lunch. I have light popcorn for a snack in the evenings. So I guess all these things worked together to finally get me losing weight! I cannot tell you how happy I am. I still have a ways to go, 40 pounds at least. But hey its a start in the right direction. And with spring on the way, I will be outside more also. Walking, gardening, playing with kota.
I didn't get as much done at home yesterday as I had planned. I was just so tired from the sleepless night with the clocks. lol We did get our grocery shopping, found some great bargains! Today we are having hot wings, in honor of Nascar Sunday. To nascar fans, every Sunday is like Super Bowl Sunday to us.
My house is really starting to come together. At one point, the thought of doing anything around here was overwhelming. I had let everything go. I am ashamed to say I would not let any visitors come over. But it is getting there now. I have even snuck in some decorating! Now mind you, we are doing this on a non-existent budget. Our laundry room is more like a closet. It had those bi-fold doors. Well the doors had broke about a year ago. It was very unsightly. Yesterday I bought a shower rod and fabric shower curtain to hang there. You would be surprised at how nice it looks. Maybe I need to go on one of those cable shows, decorating with no money. LOL
Lately I have been getting up in the morning, full of optimism and what the day will bring. I do not feel like there is a black cloud hanging over me. And I think it helps to be at this blog site, a place where I feel I am accepted for who I am.
