Weight Loss Update #4

Good news! I was down 2 lbs today! woohoo Now if I'm being honest (which of course, I am!) I will tell you that I hopped on the scale Friday morning to find I was down THREE pounds! Now typically when I see that I've done well and the scale is down, I tend to blow it by rewarding myself for a job well done. With food. And that my friends is the reason I am overweight to begin with. Emotional eating. I didn't do that on Friday though! Yay! I didn't splurge on Saturday either! Double yay!! But then on Sunday, I was hungry for a big fat steak. And I had a big fat steak. I could have simply cut off 3 oz. of a New York strip and eaten within my daily point range. But no, I didn't do that. I had an entire 12 oz. steak. I'm sure that contributed to the change in the scale from Friday morning to today. Pick up and move on though.

Another thing that I'm sure contributed to my great loss this week was my exercise. I really kicked it up this week and I've felt great about that! I am honestly starting to notice a little bit of firmness coming to the jiggly parts of my midsection (for you skinny people, I'm sure that grosses you out. But you chubby folks, you know what I'm talking about, don't ya?! ;))

Here is a peek at my exercise log last week.

More good news! I FINALLY got the spare bedroom cleaned out and made room for a treadmill. Now as soon as Todd has a chance to go pick it up for me, I'll have a place for it! Hopefully by this weekend. The extra room used to be my scrapbook room, until I turned into a digi scrapper. And for the past year+ it's became a glorified closet/storage space. We're talking boxes of junk and papers and clothes and books and toys just stacked everywhere. Well now, my friends, it is clean and organized as can be! But it was A LOT of work!

Before I go, here a couple new LO's I did with some new FPD products! Credits can be seen in my FPD gallery here. Thanks for reading, I hope you have a fantastic day!
