3lbs to go.....

This morning to my pleasant surprise I was another pound lighter than the yesterday. I had seemed to have plateaued ever since vacation which was getting really frustrating. I've still been sticking to exercising for the most part everyday....it's been more outdoor activity though rather than Miss Jillian Michaels. I am thinking that the variation in exercise may be what is helping me to finally be losing a little bit of weight again.

I also got a early birthday present from Mike and the kids ~ we had got some gift cards for switching to AT&T U-verse so with that money and a little extra they took me to a bike shop and got me my very own Trek. It is such a great bike ~ I love the way it rides and shifting into different gears is super easy too. Now I just have to make sure that we get out and ride it regularly.

The beginning of this post was from quite a few days ago.....I am still sticking to my good eating, well except for yesterday. Let's just say I am experiencing my girl stuff which was a great excuse to need bad stuff. By "bad stuff", I mean an ice cream sundae with caramel and chocolate ~ it was so tasty and I don't care if it made me gain a pound because I enjoyed it and every once in while you just have to splurge. If I diet every day for the rest of my life ~ what fun would that be. Instead, I am going to be bad only occasionally and stick to good eating the rest of the time.

Today is supposed to be a beautiful day out ~ unfortunately both our hot water heater and something with our roof decided to take a crap all at the same time so we have people coming out to check on both. The basement started leaking during the big storm which we assume is related to something with our roof or gutters. I think it's the gutter but Dad called a roofer before we could even check on the gutter. As for the hot water heater, it isn't staying on to heat the water so that is definitely an issue that needs to be seen to.

Hopefully both things are quick fixes :)
