A few updates
- We finally closed on the house in Florida on Monday. It feels weird to realize that I can't call that place my home anymore. I really was attached to it. Whatever is left now that the realtors have taken their share is being wired to my attorney up here. After we close on this new home this Friday, we get a check for whatever is left. I honestly have no idea what will be left at this point. In fact, it would not suprise me if they gave us a nickel and said, "here's your leftover."
- Today I jumped for joy when I realized I had lost more weight. I am really liking this whole Sparkpeople.com thing. Since I started at the end of July, I've lost 7 pounds. The first few weeks were tough and I appreciate Jason's support (he was already way ahead of me on the dieting track). I felt hungry constantly and it seemed like I was never eating enough. 1650 calories is all I am allowed each day and I couldn't believe how easy it was to blow through that with my old eating habits. Now my stomach has shrunk and it doesn't growl constantly. We aren't eating anything special. Rather just limiting how much we eat. It seems to work for me... now I don't give up what I like (which just makes me want it more) but rather I eat less of it. Well, I say that but we have been denying ourselves Coldstone Creamery and there are days when I would kill for an ice cream from there.
That is all for now. I need to get back to work.
