Right on Schedule

I'm 3 or so weeks into this weight loss effort and just like always, have totally fallen off the wagon this week.  It started with me re-weighing on Saturday and being up just a tiny bit (like 0.2 or something).  Then I was really good all weekend and kept weighing every day because I wanted to see that number return to what it had been on Friday, but it never did.  So by Tuesday I got really discouraged and have been bad ever since.  Also, I kept having other things to do in the evenings instead of making it to the gym.  Like, Thursday night I had to go buy a new coffee pot because mine stopped working, and obviously I needed one for Friday morning,  So anyway, it's been a bad week on the diet/exercise front and I'm up 2 1/2 pounds.  Grrr.

Anyway, I'll try to recover after this weekend.  Last night I had dinner and drinks with friends and today we went to a wedding (cake!), so hopefully tomorrow I can turn things around.  Next weekend we're going to Crescent Bar with some friends so that will surely undo any minimal progress I make during the week.  So basically I'll be hoping to start fresh on the 14th (we're going to the fair on the Monday the 13th, weather permitting).  Sigh...

As for last week's workouts, there were only two:  a 45-minute walk/jog on Sunday and the 30 Day Shred on Monday.  Lame, totally lame.

Stick at it. Even if this time you are following the old patterns, you do have the power to make it different too. Don't let a Week 3 dip be the end of you. You can do this!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
