So I now officially live with Chuck. I feel like I am married, which is a very peculiar feeling to me and yet one that feels natural and right and wonderful. (I know, being married is something more than just living together, but that will come later). Moving itself was incredibly, tremendously stressful and Sunday night I had a mini-nervous breakdown. My parents might be moving, too, so when I should have been preparing for my move I was cat-sitting for them while they looked for a new house out of state. I was completely unprepared for my own move and worked about 18 hours nonstop two days in a row. There was a miscommunication between Chuck and I Sunday, where he thought I had several others helping me clean my old house, but they had actually all gone home, and I tried to do it myself when it was really too much for me. While he unpacked I worked alone for almost eight hours before I realized I really could not take care of everything without him. By the end of the night (before Chuck showed up to rescue me) I was stuck without enough room in my car for the final load and in a desperate, unsuccessful attempt to fit things in there I threw half the food from my fridge and freezer in the trash. Most of it was stuff I probably never would have used anyway, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because this fridge is a lot smaller than my old one. I guess I'll have to prioritize the space for the healthy, important food here.
So... once we get more packed and settled I am looking forward to all the great fitness opportunities here. And one that I didn't mention before-- a friend who lives near here who wants to be my exercise buddy! This is awesome.
I tried to join the Fit&Phat challenge but couldn't get online yesterday and now fatsecret will not let me join. Best of luck to everyone starting this challenge and other challenge contestants, too!
Anyway, I swore that after all that incredibly hard work moving (which left my body so sore that its been a little hard to walk) that I would have lost about five pounds or something crazy like that, but I didn't. I gained. My bfp did go down, though, and is now ringing in at 34-36%. Getting pretty close to 33%-- normal.
Have a wonderful day, friends!
