Hey everyone!
First of all, I owe people some personals. Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy almost-week.
Rosinante - Glad your holiday was nice! Congrats on 4 lbs down, that's amazing! You'll be back on track in no time.
chocolate cheesecake - Be sure to post a note in your cell on the spreadsheet if you don't weigh in for more than 2 weeks!
. Good luck with all the outings!
curvynotlumpy - I can't imagine the sadness you must feel, we all will be in your shoes someday and it's painful to even think about, but I'm glad to hear that you've found some bittersweet relief in the process.
JB - Very true! Our bedroom does get hot due to direct sunlight, but still working from home in the dark isn't ideal! I know, I should just accept it
Sorry to hear you have to drop out, good luck with the next step in your journey. Feel free to continue to post here for support regardless!
workinglikeadog - Thanks for your feedback, it really isn't too much to ask to trim a tree I'd imagine! No word yet, I'll have to start gently pressing the issue. Thanks for pointing out the error, I think it was Skittles who accidentally posted it.
Phew! Now time for an update if you'll be so kind to hang in there
. So things with me are going fine. Things are started to feel like home for me at last. Even the tree situation isn't bothering me as much (though I do still feel twinges of annoyance!). We are now completely unpacked, all art that we have is up on the walls and all our belongings have a home. It's a great feeling! We're so happy to have a place that's ours, where we can decorate it how we want it. BF's parents house felt so clinical and orderly, it looked like something from a home catalog, which is nice and all but just not our style. We like orderly chaos. We did a trip to IKEA and bought furniture, we survived building said furniture together which was a true test to our relationship! I'm now covered in very strange bruises that I don't know how I got.
Now onto WEIGHT LOSS...you know...the reason I'm here >_>. Yeah, not so great. 169 lbs this morning. So here are my excuses: on the road diet consisted of Subway, snacks and huge meals at the end of a long driving day. Arriving in new home and not having any kitchen items meant no cooking but eating out. Once we did a big food shop and kitchen supply shop (ouch...our savings are taking a huge hit...) I was able to start cooking again yay! Only there are an abundance of treats around left over from the road trip and with the constant arranging of household items I've not been hydrating. So...yeah...a baaad week for me in terms of trying to stay healthy.
BUT. Now that we're finally finished with unpacking and the place is feeling homey I'm definitely feeling the urge to create a healthy routine for myself! I already meal planned before I came here so that's one thing taken care of, now I just have to - you know - follow it. Easier said than done, apparently. However, completely possible, so I need to kick myself up the bum and get to work. Thankfully I still have a work project from Colorado that I can work on, so I think having something familiar in my life to do will help with my routine.
Here's to summer slim down 
to all
