168!

I weighed myself this morning because I wanted to see where I was at before I go to this party tonight. That way I can assess the damages tomorrow or Monday. I know I’m being obsessive (and greedy) but I haven’t had great progress lately and am eager to fit into some more of my smaller clothes.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw 168.6 on the scale. That’s almost a five pound loss! I’m so excited.

I know what made the difference this week. This is my first full week of unemployment and I’ve been working non-stop on home improvement. I’ve finished tiling my front entry way and it was back breaking work. I also got in all of my workouts. I ate what I usually do but we haven’t eaten out yet and it’s Saturday. Normally I can’t make it past Thursday without wanting to go out. Then we proceed to eat out for the rest of the weekend.

For the next couple of months my days will be filled with projects that will definitely be great exercise. We are also really going to try not to eat out to conserve money. Maybe I’ll lose a little more than I have been over that time.

Today I’m dedicating my workout to two beers I’m going to have tonight. Hopefully it won’t take much more than that to give me the courage to dance my butt off.
