Birthday Weekend

Yep, it was my birthday on Easter Sunday so needless to say I did not have a good weekend of eating.

We got the bathroom finished and then tidied the house as we were having people over on Saturday night so we chose quick and easy over sensible and healthy a few too many times. It's done and I've accepted the consequences which were 3 pounds put back on over that span from last Wednesday to Monday. Gonna happen from time to time, gotta look past it and move on, right?

That's what I did. I have seen the scale swing 6 pounds at home and I am very pleased with that. I figure I was retaining a tonne of water and I have been able to expel it I guess. I also got in 20 minutes on the treadmill last night so that is a good thing as well.

I am hoping to see a good number tonight at weigh-in, maybe even a reset. We'll see I guess, but my goal is to be below 225 by Friday. I think I can do it.

UPDATE: Yeah, goal accomplished. 224 pounds as of Wednesday night. Lost 4 1/2 pounds since Monday. Can you say water retention? LOL!!

Powder Room Reno is DONE!!!

Well she fought us the last couple of days and we are two days past our scheduled end date, but she is done!! This was our first ever real reno job that we have done, and while it is not perfect, it looks pretty darn good and I couldn't be more proud of the job we did!!!

Here is the finished product. Enjoy!!


Floor all done with new vent cover.

New light fixture; we ended up changing the original we bought as it made everything REALLY green. This one is nice and simple and really lights up the room.

Gorgeous new vanity all installed.

New mirror and towel rack.

And of course the nice new toilet.

Mini-Goal Reached!!

So I said to myself the other day as I looked at the scale at 5:30 am, "225 before I am 36..." Done & done!!!

Yep mini-goal reached. I am very proud of myself. It is a small milestone but this is the lightest I have been in about a decade so woo hoo!!

I think Pam is actually more proud of me than anyone. It's nice to see results from just clean eating (mostly) as we have been busy with the bathroom reno & haven't had time to exercise. That starts up with a vengeance Sunday or Monday as Baseball is fast approaching and I need to get myself moving so I don't hurt myself. Happy Easter all!!!
