Week 13

Wow...it has been cold and rainy this week and I can definitely feel it!   I have been trapped inside doing a new project for work and all the other running around that goes on in the life of a mom.  One thing I just can't help but notice is that I am FREEZING!

I have never been one to be too cold.  I often go without my winter coat because I hate to wear it-the arms are tight and it is plain uncomfortable.  I could not button it, so what's the point!  Now I am freezing inside and out.  I always mock my husband for wearing his robe and lots of layers inside the house, but now that is ME!  I get so cold that I have to take a hot shower to warm my bones.  To complicate matters, every single pair of comfy pants,sweats,and sweatshirts that I own are too big to wear.  Time to shop for sweaters and sweatpants and a new winter coat.  The heated blanket sounds nice too--it's only going to get colder! I am saying sorry to my hubby for all that teasing :)

Back to week 13.  I challenged myself to stay off the scale until Friday and I did.  Boy was I surprised--4 pounds lost!  Sorry for the sideways pic!

I am pretty happy about that number since last week was a little disappointing.  I worked hard getting my protein and more water in.  I didn't exercise and that was my own fault.  Must do better this week.  Seems like I have been saying that alot lately!

Tomorrow is my 13th wedding anniversary.  On my wedding day I weighed 265..only 10 pounds less than I do now.  My body is changing and now when I look in the mirror I actually smile!  That is a wonderful feeling to have!  Even though I am far from goal, to be able like myself  feels amazing!

Here's to a great week ahead!
