The Nelson Narrative

As you know, I started WW back in July.  That was a 17-week session that ended on November 2nd, and then I renewed for another session that I am now a month (almost) into. I've been terrible about updating (obviously I am bad about blogging in general), but I have decided to commit to giving a WW update every Monday for at least the month of December, hopefully longer.   So, at one point, back in like early October I think, I was down 9 pounds at home, 7.2 at WW.  Since then, however, what with Halloween and Thanksgiving and all, I have regained some and as of today I am only down 2.6 at home and 2.4 at WW (weird, usually the difference between my weight at home and at WW is about 2 pounds, give or take.  Whatever).  Pretty pathetic for almost 5 months.   But today is one of those days where I'm all motivated and recommitted (but like always I will probably lose 2-3 pounds by Friday only to gain most or all of it back by Monday.  Sigh)....

The girls have half-days this week for parent-teacher conferences.  Our conferences were yesterday so I took the day off.  That means I had 4 blissful hours in the morning to do whatever I wanted.   One thing I had been dying to do was to go through our house room by room and document everything I want to do, like paint or get a certain piece of furniture or whatever.  Another thing I'd been dying to do was go through all of their toys and purge and organize.  They have SO many toys that they never play with but whenever there's a garage sale or consignment sale and I try to get rid of stuff they never let me.  So I went through and put a bunch of stuff away to see if they even miss them and if not, they are out of here at the next consignment or garage sale!   Anyway, it was so nice to have a few hours to myself, at home, and to actually be there when they got home from school.  They loved it, too.  It was just like back in Kinderga...
