Hi all - somehow there was a glitch and my post from yesterday was never published... so for the record, my "Power Outage" post was written on Thursday. Here are my thoughts for today...

I'm feeling better today. Not because I weigh less (in fact I weigh even more... I have gained 4+ pounds this week). No, it's definitely not that. It's because I have a new plan. You know how I like my plans.

New plan! Weigh myself once a week (encouraged strongly by Sarah, (thank you Sarah)), document all food that goes into my mouth, but try not to worry about what goes in quite as much. A more relaxed approach if you will. At this point I now have (at least) 21 pounds to lose before the wedding. But that is 358 days/51 weeks away, so as long as I lose about a half pound a week, I'll be just fine. I can afford the relaxed approach. Now don't get me wrong, this is going to be SOOOOOOO hard for me to do. It is not in my nature to be laid back and take it easy - to me that translates to lack of control - but I'm really going to try because I do think there's a lot of good in this method of living if I can just become comfortable with it.

Moving on.

Last night Andy and I had quite the adventure. We were able to borrow a truck to go pick up a free dining room table and bench (no chairs) that I found on Craigslist. To say the place was shady would be an understatement. Andy is still convinced there are drugs stashed in the legs of the table. But I don't care! I think it's a great table! And you certainly can't beat the price! FREE!!!!

New (to us) table and bench!

For now we're using the chairs from our old table. I think they work well together! Did I mention that I got this table and bench for FREE??!?!?!

Andy and I started enjoying the new addition this morning. We camped out, one on each end... I left the room for two seconds and when I came back, I laughed because we had a mirror image situation going on.

We are such dorks

Our old table would have made dual computing too cramped, so I'd say so far the new table is working out quite well.

Alright kiddos, I'm heading to yoga again tonight with Kristin, working at Job #2 tomorrow morning, and then thanks to a handful of vacation days I had left (use em or lose em) I will have some time to seriously unpack and get this place more functional. Prepare yourselves for some more exciting room reveals!
