Bad me!

So I am apparently very bad at this whole blogging thing. *sigh* I just forget to do it each night, or just don't have anything to talk about so I put it off.

Doing pretty good though! Have managed to stay mostly under 170lbs and I've been trying to eat better still, though now I've been fighting with my blood sugar. Its been up rather high again as I've been sort of snack eating instead of meals. And it doesn't help that both Tim and I are like Hexagons... All our Hecks are Gone! We are in a limbo stage, just waiting. I hate waiting. The appraisal was on Wednesday and we still haven't heard back yet. So I'm in wander mode, which usually leads me into the kitchen, which means I find something to eat.

Getting things done with this though, most days. Some days I feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do with myself, and not knowing what is going on with things, I retreat to my room and read to take my mind off of things. I've read quite a number of horrible romance novels this last week!

Tim has been home the last two days, so he's been a bit busy. He got the office mostly packed up and his desk dismantled so I have room to stack boxes as I pack them now. Things are starting to look empty.

Anyone ever heard of Pre-move Inspections? I certainly haven't! But apparently its something that this company does. They will be in on Monday to do so. I have no idea what its about, but maybe to check and be like, Ok, this this and that need to be cleaned, we are going to charge for this that and that or something like it? Not sure. Means I have to clean tomorrow. House is a disaster... as usual!

Cleaned out the fridge the other day, it was full of junk and old stuff again. Lots of half or mostly empty cartons of chicken broth.... gunna have to go back to cans I suppose! It was rather empty looking inside once I was done too! Then I cleaned out both the top freezer and the big chest freezer and everything is now in the top freezer. Trying to use as much as I can with out buying more so I don't have to transport or find a way to store it if closing goes longer than we have here.

Went shopping today and filled the fridge a little more though. As I am trying to get my sugars under control, and eat better, it was lots of fruits and veggies to nom this week. I am only cooking for myself until Friday. Tim is out of town for a Training thing for work. Ill be taking him to the airport in a few hours for that.

Been walking with Ozzy more, but I'm a bit afraid to go anywhere with him at the moment. There have been 4 shootings around here this last week, one less than a mile away from here. I don't even like taking him out for his pre-bedtime potty trip.

For some odd reason, last summer I bought a pair of shorts that were on sale, and they were a size 9. I remember trying them on and they fit ok, but a week later, I couldn't even get them buttoned and haven't been able to since. Today I tried them on again, and I got them buttoned! Omg they were tight but I buttoned them! Woo! Progress! I think if I can keep my weight under 170, before we move, Ill do another dreaded picture.

I need to restart that Planking challenge again as well. Had a few days where first my knee hurt really bad, then it was both knee and hip, then my lower back. It was to the point that walking made me want to cry. I think its that stupid Sciatica Nerve thats causing it all. But with all that going on, I missed a few days. Was up to 45 seconds too. Im sad, was doing so well! Oh well. I will start again once we are moved and settled in. Too much else going on right now!

Well thats all for now! Ill try to update more often. (even facebook doesnt get many posts, just lots of shares) For now, good night!

Planking!

I'm feeling pretty good right now! Got my weekly fitbit report and I've walked 40,421 steps in the last 7 days! I've averaged 5774 steps daily. Obviously some more and some less. My best day was 7153 steps! Woo! Go me!

I am on day three of this 30 day Plank Challenge too. Day one and two were 20 second ones and I barely  made it! Thought today was going to be super hard at 30 seconds, but I made it through the 20 second mark easy! Last ten were harder, but not bad at all! For whatever reason though it makes my left shoulder hurt, so I will have to be careful. By the end of this, I should be able to hold the plank for 5 minutes!

I am doing this because my core strength is horrible and this will help a ton! With all the walking and packing I'm doing, I hope to loose maybe 10 more pounds by the end of the month! I need to stop snacking though. After being stressed out for a week, and hardly eating the whole week, I seem to be hungry all the time now and keep finding myself snacking. I need to get some good healthy low/no carb things to munch on instead of chips or mochi.

I am really trying to keep from adding to the fridge though. I want to try and use what I have before the move, just in case closing goes a few days beyond our last day here and we have to store stuffs. Canned goods are fine, but fridge and freezer need to be emptied as best as I can get them.

We still have some stuff to do to get this whole thing going, mostly some info we need to provide, and if we can get it all done, hopefully we can close early! That would be great!

Tim will be gone middle of the month, most of the packing is going to be up to me anyway, so that's not bad. I am just not sure I am comfortable being home alone for six days after we were broken into. Anyone wanna come stay with me? I mean, I know they caught one dude, and the other is probably laying low for the time being, but still. I'm still not secure feeling in my own home. I keep locking my front door just to take Ozzy out potty, when I'm not going more then a few feet from the door. Cant wait to be out of here!

And before you ask, no, Tim cannot cancel his trip. It is a training thing, and he was recommended for it and accepted, and it apparently cost a ton, and there are no more for this year. He would have to be recommended and accepted all over again to take it next year.

Oh well. I am sure I will survive. The windows are all barred and I keep everything locked down tight now.

On that note, I am hungry, so I am off to make dinner! Spaghetti!

Things and Stuffs

Been a week since my last post. Things have happened! A few hours after I posted the last post, we got the call that said our offer was accepted on the house! Woo! They are paying our closing as well so that's great! So happy!

As the week went by, I started to calm down after the break in. Not as scared to be alone in the apartment now, which is good since Tim has to go away for a week in two weeks! Then on Thursday, even more good news!!

If you are on my Facebook, you will have seen this already.

They caught one of the thieves and we got some of our stuff back! Not a lot of it, but some, and that is huge for us. My Macbook Air (which I am using right now!), my kindle, Tim's work laptop and backpack, and some personal things from nightstands. Its not nearly everything, but its something. They are looking for the other guy still, know who he is and everything. So there is some possibility we will see more stuff again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Saturday we had the inspection on the house, and it went great! Only a few cosmetic fixes, they kept good care of the house, so now we wait for the septic inspection, the appraisal, and loan stuff to finish up. Aiming to close end of the month!

In health news, haven't been quite as stressed so I've actually been eating again, which means I'm having to fight to keep those few pounds I lost off! Today, as its the first, started a core strengthening challenge, started with a 20 second plank. Now, you wouldn't think it would be that hard... yeah that was super tough! I was shaking so hard at the end. Soon as the 20 seconds were up I collapsed! Dog thought it was the best time to attack and lick me! Evil thing!

Been walking a lot too, averaging around 5500 steps each day, need to get that up higher. But trying to not over do it. Its going to get crazy here with packing everything as the month goes on.

I'm so excited for it all! I cant wait to have our own place that I can paint and do as I please to! Well with in limits as I wont have much money, but still! My own place!!!

All for now! Need to get back to tidying up!
