down 8 pounds in 7 days

freaking awesome. . . nothing like good weight loss to encourage you to go another week. I have lost 8 pounds in the last week . . . granted a good portion of it is probably water weight. . . fine by me. . . all I have done is ate well ( biggest loser type diet . . . lots of fruits and vegetables, and some lean protein and whole grains ) , and worked out 4 of the 7 days. . ( need to make it five, but I got lazy on saturday ) . . the nice thing about where I live, there are a LOT of hills. so I walk up the hill as high as I can, then I wind back and forth through the streets to get back home . . . try to make it about an hour. I'm sure this is probably the biggest weight loss I will see in a single week, but it sure is nice to get a jump start on it.

off to take Selene to the doctor . I think she has an ear infection. . . she's had a bit of a fever for the last 3 or 4 days, and I'm pretty sure she's not teething. she's also been waking up crying every morning for the last week or so. . . .. very out of character for her.

what can I say, there's not a whole lot else going on right now . .. . My house is a disaster, and I've decided I have to just get rid of stuff. . . the biggest problem is my kitchen. . . .I don't need 4 sets of plates, 50 cups, or rusted pans that aren't really safe to cook in anyway. . . . time to box stuff up for later and throw away the trash. having that much stuff just allows my kitchen to get reallllly dirty before I clean it. . . .with less, I will be forced to at least do dishes once a day.
