Day #45 - Now with Pictures!

I can't believe it's already day 45. It's going by so fast! I wish I could flash forward to a year from now for a moment and see where i'm at. In my head i'm at my goal size (8) and weight (140-150). By the way i'm 5'8" so i'm not sure if those goals are realistic or not, but they are not hard and fast. I'll have to see how I feel once I get closer to those numbers.

When people notice your weight loss do you feel happy or insulted? I feel ecstatic! One of my husband's best friends is in town and the first day he was here he didn't say anything. He told my husband privately that he noticed I had lost a lot of weight but didn't want to say anything to me because he didn't want to insult me by implying I was "big" before. I told him not at all and the comments help keep me motivated.

Work called this morning and asked me if I wanted to come in, but i'm already working 4 this week starting tomorrow with only one day off before I start my next four so I said no, even though I really want the money for our spring break vacation. It's just not worth it to me to be an unsafe nurse for extra cash.

Instead I decided to paint the den/gym/entertainment room. I'm painting the accent wall a very light mint, it's called "Pirate Coast" and the other walls a cream color. Even though these are relaxing colors I'm going to decorate it with pops of color to make it more vibrant. I felt like I had to paint with neutrals because we're renting and it's actually the first room to your left when you walk into the house and I didn't want it to be a stereotypical crazy gym color.
