Miss me yet?

Miss me?

 

Well, I've missed all of you! Reading your blogs keeps me on track and gives me inspiration, and boy I could use some of that (and sleep) right now!

 

Let's just say, yes...I have a house. And I have sore, aching muscles that are a result of spending over eight hours getting up and down to install a wood laminate floor. And it's not over yet. I still have three more rooms and a hallway to lay flooring in and since I am the only one who ~can~ get up and down and up and down, I get to be the one doing the work. There will be blood, sweat, and tears in that floor...but it'll look good when it's done.

 

No formal workouts this week or last...too busy packing boxes, moving boxes, and ripping up and installing flooring. I figure that should count towards a workout since I did so many squats and lunges on Sunday everything from the hips down is sore. Did you know the muscle on the back of your knee can be sore? Well, yes, it can be...especially if you have to wear knee pads since you're kneeling on concrete floors.

 

Still, things are moving along and I'm trying to stay on track with my eating. Having more "sandwiches" than usual and I fear the extra bread (even if it is low-cal and low-carb bread) will throw me off. Right now I am not showing a loss, but that could be my TOM and the extra water retention I'm experiencing. I mean, of course the TOM shows up smack dab in the middle of such a tumultuous time. Mother Nature and her darn little "gift!"

 

Well, I hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to really get extra time to catch up on the blogs. Have a great week and if you're off for it...Happy Memorial Day ahead of time since I'll be busy that day. *lol*

Yes we do...

Yes we do miss you already. And I so feel for ya; J and I put all new flooring in this house.  We did laminate and tile both. Be glad you're not doing tile! Knee pads didn't fit either of us, and the up and down was killer! The movement will probably balance out with the extra bread. Take tons of before, during and after photos so that if you can't move once you are done, you'll know it was worth it. ;)

No formal exercise - lol.

You are getting a ton of physical activity in, so don't worry at all about no formal exercise. That is awesome that you only have 3 more rooms.  I am sure you are a pro by now.  I am excited for you and your new house.  I hope the hard labor is over soon so you can enjoy decorating.  : )

Welcome to your new home.

I think that blood, sweat and tears really makes it a home and not a house...
I am proud of you for getting the floors in, not easy. You will be so enriched knowing that you did those floors and they will last a life time.
You will make your goals in the long run, so for now move when you can and if aches creep in, water!!!
