So I've had the sickness from another world for the past month and I haven't felt much like doing anything. It's really hard to come up with something original to blog about when there is a waterfall of snot coming out of your nose.
Today is the first day of my spring break. I am very excited to go on a quick trip with the Hubby. He planned this extra nice, just the two of us, shin dig so we can rest up before we have to start moving.
We just got the keys to the new place today. It's super nice. And we're really REALLY close to Mr. RTD's work. So much so that we now pay over 60$ a month less in car insurance than what we're paying right now. The yearly insurance on his vehicle dropped by almost half. Mine is still high due to my 300km round trip every day. Oh well. I'm happy we get to pay less. It'll help the new budget out immensely.
I will be putting up a much better post after our trip. Including some awesome pics!!
Have a great spring break wherever you are :)
TTFN!

Sickness...
I has it!
I don't think I've had this kind of cold in a long time. It's lasted a week now, and doesn't really show signs of quitting.
I started off with just a bit of a fever and an over all "blah" feeling. This quickly moved into my lungs creating an awesome phlem cover over my esophagus. I almost lost my voice, thankfully the kids were quiet enough to listen to me whisper, and I still can't talk properly.
I still have a headache. I now know what a dry cough is as well. I wish I could get all this gunk out of my throat. I would definitely feel alot better about it.
I am also procrastinating le hardcore on my report cards. I'm going to get all the preliminary stuff done tonight/tomorrow so that I can work on them for a prep day next week. ALL DAY! Then it's printing and corrections. I hand them out, and it's a short week of parent teacher interviews and I'm free to head to the mountains with my loverly husbeast!
I'm very much looking forward to this week away. After we go, we'll have one week to pack and then we move to our new Duplex in the Fort. I'm very excited about this place. It has a real yard and a fire pit. Hubs is actually talking about buying some grown up furniture. I'm hoping that we might be able to get some of it as presents from the family. We need alot of stuff to make this place furnished.
For starters we need to get enough furniture for the entire main floor. We don't have a "real" dining room set, and we want to create a book nook off the kitchen with all our bookshelves. The other is going upstairs. The couches we have now are going to the bonus room so we need 2 love seats and chair for the aforementioned nook. We also want a new queen size bed so we can have visitors over. That also means a new bed frame and bedding to go with it. I'd also like a moderately comfy chair for my knitting/ craft room. Lastly it would be nice to have a new patio set. One that can fit more than 2 people.
That is the brunt of my thoughts for the day.
Here's hoping that the cold disappears soon so I can stop taking drugs. It's starting to bother me.
Maybe I'll just have to go to the doctor.
Sigh

And the winner is.....
ME!!!
Official weigh in this morning was 10 lbs lost.
And I decided that I should take a true test. Do those skinny jeans fit again?? I bought them (stupidly) one size too small.
A- because the store lady said they would stretch and I didn't want them to be too big
and
B- because they make my butt look FABULOUS!!
So I got out my skinny jeans. And they FIT! again. just like they used to! which is just a teensy bit too small. I can't complain at all. That little victory made me feel great. I would like to state that my food plan is working. I have been consciously eating less at every meal. And I've been trying to eat slower as well. I also try to drink a full glass of water before I go for lunch at the colony.
I have noticed that my stomach doesn't take as much to be full. I've also lost the taste for some things I used to crave. Namely fat. I'm also craving more veggies. I like this!
Even though I missed the gym this week (due to sickness) I'm still making gains in the weightloss territory! This makes me feel so proud of myself. I know I'm going to look fabulous in a bikini in Vegas. I just know it!
Ps note to self buy new bikini for birthday present!
TTFN!
