Title??? Ummm...

Yesterday ended up being a fairly productive day.  After I finished my post, I decided to get up and get something done even if it was only something VERY small.  I ended up cleaning the kitchen and then doing some organizing in my dining room and kitchen, and then painting.  There was this area right beside and behind my fridge that I had yet to paint, so I decided to pull the fridge out, clean behind it, and paint.  I had been putting it off, but it only took a short amount of time!  I even sanded and patched a spot that I should be able to work on again later if I get the energy.  But we will see.  I still feel tired today, but nothing anywhere NEAR as severe as what it had been.  Maybe I am finally catching up!  LOL

What I REALLY need to work on today is laundry.  I plan on taking it all down here in a bit and then sorting and starting some during younger's nap time.  He is too mobile now for me to do it when he is awake and the downstairs isn't kid friendly enough for him to go down.  It's really set up for older kids.  I need to do something about that soon.  Just not sure what?  Probably just move a few things around and put up some doors and gates.  Right now, there are no doors.  Mostly because we are buying and replacing doors as we can and downstairs was a complete change.  We took out a single door and put in a double french.  When we went to pick the door up after we had framed, they were no longer carrying that size in store and is now a special order.  That's happened a couple of times simply due to time between designing, building, and then going to buy.  I sorta understand why people pay others to do the work!  HA!  We haven't really had the money to order since.  Mostly because we've been doing other things!  LOL  And NOW we've decided that the set-up down there isn't really working.  We have a garage downstairs, but the actual spot is SO SMALL that it does us no good.  I CANNOT part a full size SUV in there.  So, we've decided to take out the garage door, put in a patio door, and put in a carport that matches our house and roofline.  We are then going to leave the garage somewhat rough, but more finished than it is now.  We're going to put in an insulated drop ceiling (to buffer sound), repair and paint the walls, repair and paint the concrete floor, put in a new interior and exterior door, and then paint and install the cabinets we got for down there.  We are going to leave the laundry area where it is and then organize the storage area.  The side that use to be for the car will become our new workout area and long term storage.  We already have a deep freezer tucked into a good spot, but I need a few shelves put in there.  We are going to use the same kind as what we have on the other side and we are going to leave it all open.  I think I will even see if the hubbs will install a stereo system and TV in there.  But we will see.  It won't be high end since it's a garage, but it would be nice to have all of the workout stuff there and be able to watch TV or listen to the radio while in there.  Plus, once we get all that moved it would be nice to be able to go in there and do whatever while the kids were in the rec room.  :D

It's going to be REALLY nice to have a different workout area.  Where it is now just doesn't work!  I want that room to be just a guest room and office.  And I want to take the itty bitty room that is under the stairs that I use for an office and turn it back into storage.  Slowly but surely, finding a layout that works.  And having a workout room is right there at the top.  Having it in with the guest room and office just wasn't working.  Even though we don't have a TON of company, it just doesn't work for even casual use.  Most of the rooms in our house need to be efficient and do double duty.  And that room was doing triple.  Which was just too much!  I will be SO glad to have a designated area!!!  Just hope we can get to it soon.

My weight today is the same.  I was severely disappointed to see 199 and then 199.5 again today.  I just want to be under 198 right now.  I am getting frustrated.  I keep telling myself to get over it, but it's a pain to try really hard, to hold back on everything, and still see nada.  I get that I had some things over the weekend, but not enough to keep from losing.  Ugh.  I don't know what to think and I am just feeling like what's the point?  I know that the point is I could be up.  But dad gum.  This battle gets annoying!  I guess the good is still that my clothes fit differently.  Maybe I will see something in the next couple of days.  And yes, I'm weighing daily again just to get myself back on track and see if I can figure out what I am doing wrong.  I haven't been formally tracking my food, but I am thinking about going back to that just for a few weeks to see if I can figure out what is wrong.  It's that or I am afraid I am going to go nuts.  I haven't lost anything in weeks.  WEEKS!!!  And I get that I haven't been 100%, but geez.  Surely I don't have to be THAT strict to lose 1lb. a week??  I am afraid I messed something up with that week I took off back in June.  What, I don't know.  But something.  The only thing I haven't been doing is taking my vitamins like I should... could THAT be making any kind of difference???  Hummm.... I didn't think it would since I eat pretty well.  But maybe?  I need to re-order some and get back into the routine.  Maybe I'll take those here shortly...  And re-order here shortly... plus some other things I need to order....  Busy busy busy.

Well, I guess I will get off of here and get my booty to work.  Well, at least on the pute, putting younger down, and starting laundry.  Although, I am just now starting my protein shake.  LOL  I had a boo boo with it and had to doctor it some so I am late drinking it.  Have a great day chicks.  And I hope that some of you will come back soon.  Seems like no one is posting as much as they were or commenting.  And honestly, I miss that!
