End of Month

Today is the End of Month weigh-in.  I came in at..............199 again!  Woot!  I  know, I know.  I only lost half a pound for the month.  Really, I maintained.  But considering I bounced up to 210 at one point (I know a lot was water weight), I'm REALLY happy to be back under 200 and sitting at 199.  I hope to leave the 190's behind this month.  That's really my goal.  I'd like August to be the month I break into the 180's.  I know a 9lb. loss is a lot for one month, but I think if I really stick to eating well, it will come off.  Not to mention, I am trying hard to stay busy through the day.  I know I need to exercise as we've covered a hundred times before, but I am making it a priority to stay up and busy during the day even if I don't do formal exercise still.  Out of last week, I only had one day where I didn't do a whole lot, but my knee was hurting.  Thankfully, it and my ankles are feeling better after my fall.  My ankles are more tender than I noticed at first, so I've had to be careful.  Especially on the heels of just recovering from injured ankles!

Not sure what I will be doing today other than some general clean up and then getting the kiddos all cleaned up.  Both are due for their regular baths, but I also need to clip their fingernails and toe nails and oldest for sure needs a hair trim.  Well, youngest does, too.  Not sure what else to attempt to do.  I stayed so busy last week that I got a ton done!  LOL  Maybe I should work on a project today?  I could probably get one wall in the foyer painted...  or maybe a couple of the steps prepped for paint....  And I was thinking of going through my books and clearing some of them out.  I was holding on to a few to keep but I've been thinking that maybe I should just let them go.  I've read them and had them for years and well, now, I've never gone back to re-read them.  They were decent books, but they just don't capture my interest anymore.  So, I was thinking of gathering them up to trade in and only keeping the books I really love.  I know my bookshelf would appreciate it!

I have tons of stuff I could do, I guess.  It's just where do I get started?  LOL  I guess the first step is to get up off my butt and get going, eh?  But I want to chill for a bit and enjoy my coffee.  Youngest isn't screaming today, so I kinda want to relax and enjoy that for a minute.  We've had a rough few days thanks to some formula changes, shots, and probably teething.  Today is the first day in a LONG time that he hasn't woken up like a bear!  Seriously.  He was basically crying and screaming for the last 3 days so to have him be somewhat happy today is a relief.  Now the hubby is saying that he may take oldest to the movies since it is so hot out.  If he does, I for SURE can work on at least one project.  Well, if I can drag myself off of the couch.  Not sure why my motivation is gone today, but it sure is.  I am just tired right now!  Maybe I need more coffee... or water.... or should have my green shake!  We will see.

Ok, well, I am going to quit lolly-gagging and get off of here.  I need a plan of attack for this foyer.  I think the sooner I get it done, the sooner I will feel better about it!  About how it looks, I mean!  So, off I go to the races.  LOL
