Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

April Progress Report

April 28, 2012

Progress? What progress? Well, we’re in restoration mode with all that it entails and it’s difficult, but if I can just get through this year, then maybe next year won’t be so scary. We might actually be able to get new furniture then too :-).

Weight loss progress? Well, I did have this light bulb moment today. Why am I so careful about skin care – the outside of my body – if I’m not taking care of the inside?! I mean, let’s face it, isn’t having a healthy heart better than having good skin? So, with that thought, I crunched some numbers. Lessee, 17 weeks gone by already and that leaves 35 weeks left. Multiply 35 weeks by a 2 pound per week weight loss and that would be…a possible 70lb weight loss by the end of the year. Hey, that’d be pretty good now wouldn’t it! Even a one pound a week loss would be 35 pounds and that’s a darn sight better than where I’m at now. Okay, if we go for middle of the road it would be 50 pounds. Well, I like all of those numbers so what am I waiting for?? I keep making excuses and right now I have none. Zero. Zip. Nada. SO, I’m going to try to start next Monday – really start. Yeah, yeah, how many times have I been saying that. Well, maybe it’s time to get serious and really try and not worry about failing or whatever it is I’m worried about. Ya know? So, I’ll keep you posted on a plan of action – I’m the girl of 100 lists remember? And stick to it the best I can.

I’ve read another book – Almost Amish by Nancy Sleeth – and that was really good. It finished off my Amish reading very nicely and gave me a lot to think about.

I pulled together lesson plans and books so we can start school on Monday for our last 3 months of work for this school year. So, we’re ready there.

So, I guess that was April. Here’s hoping I can really get over whatever mental mishmash is going on in my head that’s keeping me from doing what I need to do to lose weight and maybe I can lose some stress once we get over the “humps”.

I know I would enjoy being thirty-five pounds lighter. Sadly, the scale keeps tipping in the wrong direction.

Sadly we both know what we need to do as well - maybe we should be weight loss buddies.
