Weigh-in Wednesday

button

Today is my first time linking up with Alex and Erin for Weigh-in Wednesday.   I just stumbled upon it last week, and thought I'd join in since I was planning on making a fresh start with my weight loss efforts on Monday the 1st anyway. If you are visiting from that link-up, welcome! I'd love to find some people to connect with that are on a similar journey.

Since I just started on Monday, though, I didn't actually weigh-in today, and I usually prefer to weigh-in on Fridays, anyway, so I'll probably continue to do that and just post on Wednesdays about my progress, or lack thereof.

So, if you are new here, here's where I'm at in a nutshell.  I had once lost all my baby weight plus 7 pounds, putting me at 5 over my wedding weight.  But in the last 3 years are so (my twin girls are 5) I have slowly but steadily gained it all back and then some.  And I keep losing and regaining the same 3 or 4 pounds over and over and over, except sometimes I gain even more which is why I am now about 14.4 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight.

The last few months have been especially hard on my weight loss efforts because of Valentine's Day, the girls' birthday, a whole bunch of other birthdays and finally, Easter (Cadbury Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs are both a huge weakness for me).  But now that that is all behind me, I'm making a fresh start.

Again, it's only been 3 days so far so I don't have much to report, but I had two good workouts already this week, Monday and yesterday.  I actually just posted a few days ago about my goals for April so you can scroll down and read that if you'd like.

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}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

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...
