Taking it all in stride

Current weight:  228

Life is still chaotic but things are starting to fall together.  I have unpacked as much as I can w/o the house being fully completed and I have accepted the fact that it will be this way until I can move furniture into the basement (hopefully by the weekend).  My workout room isn’t ready but we were blessed w/such beautiful weather over the weekend that I was able to get outside and take some walks, and today after school we started a workout group so I put in 30 minutes on the elliptical.  I still can’t wait until my own elliptical is sitting in my new workout room but this is better than nothing.

For whatever reason our internet isn’t working @ the new house which is why I haven’t been posting comments.  I take about 5 minutes after school to update my status, mostly to keep me somewhat on the straight and narrow.  I know the scale has crept up and my pants are a bit tighter but at least they’re the same size pants.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new house and neighborhood.  It isn’t an exaggeration to say I already know more people in 2 weeks than I did in 7 years at our old place.  Justin has a ton of kids to play with and they play OUTSIDE!!!!!!!  I was feeling guilty b/c we were letting him turn into a video-game kid and although he still likes them he’s running around playing football, basketball, riding bikes…all the things little boys should be doing :)  He has said several times already how happy he is living in our new house.

Got to go so I’m there when he gets off the bus :)

Progress toward workout goal:  134/300

    So glad the house & neighborhood turned out so well!

    I too find that sometimes it’s important to grab 5 minutes to update my status here on 3FC to keep the weight area in some degree of focus (and maybe control) even if I don’t have another spare minute & cant check other blogs or comments, just knowing I’ve checked in helps me a lot.

    Hope you keep getting to enjoy walks & exploring the neighborhood & making new friends for Justin & for yourself!

    I’m so jealous! Even though you have a lot to do, it must be exciting to have everything so fresh and new.

    Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
