Diet update
It has been a while since I posted to my journal, but during that time I have managed to lose 16 pounds. I have about 12 pounds or so left to go to reach the weight I was shooting for, and if I keep losing weight at the same rate I have been, I should reach my target weight in about 6 weeks or so. That should be just before Thanksgiving (ah, the irony).
I have gotten used to the new way of eating to the point where I don't want to go back to eating the way I used to. Sometimes I miss potato chips, but I don't miss the 28 pounds I have lost so far. I look more like me, I feel more like me. I'm looking forward to getting back into clothes I haven't been able to wear in a long time. Hopefully, by spring, both I and the inside of the house should be in much better shape :-).
We're going to start working on the dining room, painting the trim upstairs, working on insulating the water heater, and a lot of other stuff. Then in the spring all the outdoor stuff will get done, but that's some time away and not anything I want to worry about now. In other news, I am looking into carpentry plans for entertainment centers and bedframes, since it will probably be less expensive for us to make these ourselves and we can get the supplies over time, where the stores want all the money up front or want us to run our credit card higher (something we're trying to avoid). Besides, if we build the furniture ourselves, we can make sure we have exactly the style and color we want.
Well, that's my update for now... More news later :-).
