The Story Before the Bathroom Reveal
Y'all, it has been a ride. Why are all of our renos involving trades always held up? Now I could understand the kitchen reno which began March 16, 2020 which is the week all hell broke loose. The kitchen wasn't finished until July that year and it really had nothing to do with the pandemic. There were quality control issues with two doors and if you think I was settling for lint sealed under clear coat and the same two holes caused by an industrial stapler on three remakes of a door, you're nuts. We actually redid our bathroom in 2022. Do you remember? Probably not because I hated it so much I never did a reveal! The deep ocean blue was a pain in my ample ass and for almost three years because it never stopped running. We had white chair railing and water from drying our hands or showers constantly dripped blue and would pool on top of the white railing sending me into fits on the daily. Because we'd gone through three different blue...
It's funny (not the haha kind) how we all seem to have a weight that truly become a dragon for us. It's just a number, yet it takes on epic proportions in our hearts and minds.
ReplyDeleteToday is supposed to be cooler here (only low 90s) so I'll take the little guy to the park in a bit and then run some errands. Tomorrow will be the pool in the morning, and who knows what in the afternoon.
Good luck slaying your personal dragon this week!
Good luck with your dragon. I'm three pounds away from my first mini-goal. Gah. So impatient.
ReplyDeleteI get why our bodies fight against losing weight, but I kind of want to tell it, "Hey. It's 2012. I'm not going to starve during the winter. Get with the program."
Did your cousin like the Atletica workout?
I hear ya about the dragon. I can't seem to get below a certain number. It's like I jinx myself when I get there. I am hovering there now, just 2 pounds away, yet can't step over the line. I have not been in a good place in my head for a while and I know that has a lot to do with it. Thankfully, my husband is an awesome man who lets me vent to him and he sits down with me and we form a plan...together. You are lucky this way too. The support and participation of your spouse is crucial!! My plan today is to hang out at the lake with my sister and my kids. I packed healthy snacks and just need to remind myself to drink water. Thanks for your blog, I love it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss! I wish it was as easy as "starting over" to get things rolling again. Try to enjoy the farmers market : )
ReplyDeletecongrats on the weigh-in results. Sorry about that mind-racing thing. I'm noticing that more often in my own life these days.
ReplyDeleteMy day is being consumed with a jr-high reunion, of all things. Lots of fun (and cookies!) so far. :)
I'm just back from a road trip and a few days of over-eating so I'm concentrating on getting back on track.
