It was a lot of inconvenience, but KJ did an absolutely amazing job. He worked like a rented mule to get this done before he went back to work. My contribution was some indoor sanding and painting, where his was shit hauling the stairs down to the risers, sanding them, staining & varnishing them and re-installing them. It was intense! Despite all the hard work, and pride in the beautiful job he did, we're both still very much looking forward to moving closer to our friends, and a more reasonable distance to the coast guard base.
In other news, the exercise and weight loss journey is continuing along in the right direction. As of this morning, I have lost 22.5 lbs and am comfortably wearing regular sized clothing instead of an 18 Plus. That makes me incredibly happy. On Monday, KJ and I went to see San Andreas in IMAX 3D at the mall. Before we went into the theater, I went to a clothing store and had no idea what sizes to try on, so I tried on a bunch of different sizes. Long story short, not only was I pleased with the results, I got 3 pairs of pants and a blouse for $36 total. Hooray for sales!
Today marks the start of KJ's shift at work, so I had to drop him off at 5:30am this morning to catch a bus to Lewisporte. He made it safe and sound, and will hopefully head back towards town at some point in the trip. But till then, it's just me and the fuzz butts. I can't complain; he's been home every night for 2 months, and that is incredibly rare. Doesn't make the wait any shorter, though!
Anyway, I am back to focusing on my health and diet. That means more recipes, more exercise, and more blogging about all the bullshit I'm going through!
I know, I'm excited about it, too.
wow that's amazing that you lost 22.5 lbs. it really isn't the number that matters but those results when you see yourself in smaller clothes that begin to fit just right. Keep it up!
