1/8 Weigh-In

Weigh in this AM was 195.  I had hoped to be lower by now, but I kinda thought I wouldn't -- I've had PMS.  And even though I've done ok keeping myself in check, I know I am going to get all bloaty and swollen soon!  :O  I actually already feel a bit swollen.  I woke up with my hands and feet feeling a little tight.  Going to drink lots of liquids today!  Starting with coffee!  YUM!  And then a big glass or two of water.  :D

I haven't really worked out this week and that's mostly my fault.  And a little bit younger's... he's been up and up again and again.  So I've been on survival mode.  I've managed to eat well, take care of the kiddos and house, do errands and all that, but exercise just didn't fit in.  I should've made it, I know.  And I know I'm using the same ol' excuse.  But I AM going to do it.  I'll figure it out.  I will!

Other than that, it's been the same ol' same ol' around here.  Well, other than the work on the house.  The contractor came back this week and started the work on the foyer.  Once he's done with the woodwork, he's going to do a ton of painting and some finish work.  I will be SO glad to be done.  Feels like we've been doing work for years!  Well, we basically have.  He has another week and a day here, so I hope he can knock out a LOT.  I'm ready for the house to be pretty done.  I know once all of this is finished we will have the extra bathroom and the kitchen to finish, but the kitchen is mostly some trim and paint.  And we didn't want to do that until Spring.  Not sure when we could do the bathroom.  Not even sure really what we want to do down there.  I guess we will see.

On another aspect of the house... we've been purging like crazy.  We have thrown away, given away, donated and sold SO much during the last week that it's just crazy.  I went through all the baby stuff and gave away 4 boxes, a bag and some larger items.  Been doing the same with other stuff and just clearing it out.  We just have too much stuff.  I need to take a dresser to a friend today if possible.  I have a lady picking up a gate and a cot later.  And hopefully she has a kennel I can use.  Ours is just about ready to completely break.  And when it does, UGH.  No kennel.  When it breaks, I am thinking of keeping the bottom to put our other dogs bed in so she has her own space since the other dog gets the kennel and she always tries to get in there!  Now, if we could only get these couches sold!  Especially the one downstairs.  I'm not in such a hurry for the one up here, but I'd really like to get the sectional sold.  We want that to primarily be a play room and that couch is just too darn big down there.  OK, I WOULD like to get this one sold, but I just don't have the money to replace it right now unless it sold for exactly what we listed it for.  But I guess until we find something we really love, it doesn't matter.  LOL  I really don't want to finance any furniture since we just got a new car.

Well, I need to get off of here and stop rambling on and on.  Hope all you ladies have a great rest of your weekend!  :D
