New Blog

I moved my blog to a new location.  I have not been able to get this blogger to do what I want.  I'm sure it probably has capabilities, but I couldn't get it figured out.  I wanted to have links to show before/after pics.  I read other blogs and really love being able to go to different sections.  Now that I've finally figured it out with Word Press, I've exported my blog to that new site.  Feel free to follow me over there:

Maintenance

I just had to drop in & say that I LOVE maintenance.  I get to eat more & work out a bit less.  It's been easy so far, but it's just started.  I had the flu last week, so I lost 10 pounds.  Needless to say, I haven't been making the best food choices this week because I was allowed to GAIN back 10 pounds!  That is a crazy thing to wrap my head around.  I am definitely going to get back at it & it will start today.  I bought a Jillian Michaels toning DVD because I feel like that will help me get the jiggles to go away!  I wouldn't mind losing & keeping off the 10 pounds from last week, but because that was pretty much just water weight from being sick, it came back pretty quickly once I started eating. 

Ron's working on converting our garage into a gym.  Since he keeps the garage in complete shambles, I am excited.  There was never a hope that I would ever park in there, so why not make it useable somehow...  We have a friend who is going to install some type of heat in the garage so I won't freeze my butt off when I'm on the treadmill.  Once the heat is in, Ron will insulate it & I will be calling Comcast to come install cable for us so we can have my gym!  I'm super excited to get this done!  In addition to my treadmill, elliptical, and TV for DVD's, we are making a space for Ronnie to use his dart board, Nerf Basketball, and baseball game.  Since we moved to this house, we have not had any room to spread out, so this is nice for the kids as well as Ron & I.  I'll post pics once it's done!  Not much else here.  I lost another 1.4 pounds, but will probably put that back on my the next weigh-in.  I'm okay with that since I'm below my goal.  LOVE MAINTENANCE!!!  :)
