Monday Weigh-In - Week 2

Well this weeks wasn't as good...by A LOT!

I had a gain this week :P 2lbs to be exact. I know why, so there wasn't really any surprises when I stepped on the scale.

Although I did eat mostly whole foods, I didn't eat enough fruit and vegetables (need to up that this week) and too many grains. We also ordered in one night and had dinner at a friends one night. The dinner at friends was all great whole type foods (beef, chicken, salad, corn on the cob, mini new potatoes and homemade peach cobbler)...the problem was it was too great and I ate way too much! I also slowed down on my water intake and drank too much diet pop (which totally goes against my whole foods thing, so I need to break that bad habit ASAP!). Also, not enough exercise.

Now I know what I'm doing, I can improve this week and hopefully see a loss next week!!

The week was generally ok otherwise. Did my first grocery shop of planned healthy, whole meals and was a bit worried about the cost of eating healthy, but I did manage to do it a little cheaper than normal! Quite unexpected!

Couple of big storms this week that knocked out our power around here. Nice light shows though.

This weekend kept me very busy. Late Friday night we decided to change up the house and then slept on it. Saturday morning we got to work. We moved ALL of the kids toys out of the playroom and into the family room, including the cabinets and shelves. The LCD tv came upstairs to the livingroom and the armchair in the livingroom went to the back room. We juggled more and more stuff around until we'd redefined all the spaces. The backroom upstairs is now a sitting room with 3 armchairs, and also the piano. The livingroom now has the TV in it plus the 2 leather couches. The familyroom downstairs is now totally a kid space with the small tv for them and the old playroom is now a office/scrapbooking/cardmaking/cakestorage room for me :)

The office was looking ugly, ugly, ugly...so I went and picked up some paint and spent Sunday plastering, sanding and painting the walls and trim (and now have sore arms and shoulders!). It's now ready for another coat and I'm LOVING the way it looks! Next step is to get the furniture in, mine and Jay's computers and then all the scrapbooking/cardmaking stuff of my Mum's from Dads. I will include pics when it's all finished :)
