I have had the craziest week and I have had a really hard time getting my reports to you guys. I have been keeping track and I will get to that in a minute. We bought a new house at the beginning of the school year and we had a couple projects that we knew we were going to do. We had absolutely no idea how horrific it all was going to go.

Project 1

Our house was built in 1978 and had some really badly painted wood railing so we decided to update it with wrought iron. We wanted a little bit of a custom design and since we didn’t have a top rail that was going to stay it has to be built from scratch. We our on our 3rd welder and I have now bought the material 3 times over the past 6 weeks. It makes we want to vomit, it still isn’t done and I am trying to figure out what I want to do.

The railing you see is completely crooked and has to be redone. The glass seems a bit perilous but so far the kids have stayed completely away from it.

Project 2 

I made the mistake of telling my wife we could get new sofas if she sold ours first, selling ours took all of 1 hour. That was 2 weeks ago and we still sitting on a bean bags and ottomans. We have been to every furniture store in Houston 3 times and so far haven’t found anything that we both love. If we both like it, we can’t get it until March or April. The balance of something big enough for all of us and keeping the size to something reasonable is almost impossible.

We are using tape to figure out what we can fit in the room.

Project 3

Paint. Need I say more?

Project 4 Tiffany’s Bonus Project

Granite Counter Tops on the Bar. We have a bar in our house. I told you it was built in 1978. It has a horrific black laminate, but we don’t ever use it, won’t ever use it. Yes, we still have to replace it. NOW!!!

Needless to say I have been a bit preoccupied dealing with a lot of nonsense.  I have been doing very well on reducing the amount of carbs and I have completely cut out soda. The exercise has been going moderately well and 2 out of the last 3 nights I have been doing far better on the amount of sleep I have been getting.

Breakfast- Each morning I have had an egg dish with either bacon, turkey bacon or canadian bacon. I mix up the way I prepare my eggs, but my favorite is in an omelet.

Lunch. Chicken Salad or Tuna Salad. I also had left over gyro meat one day.

Dinner- We have had some sort of meat, vegetable, salad and the kids have a starch which I skip.

Today we hit Double Digits with Day 10 of Paul’s Great Weight Rollback!! That means we are 1/3 of the way there, how is it going for you! 10 days isn’t a long time in the whole realm of things, but I feel a lot better already. We have 2 days until the next weigh in, I am not sure what it is going to say but that isn’t the most important thing. I’m gonna hit my goal, but there is always a little bump. The most important thing for me is that once I get the weight down, I stay healthy and don’t fall back into bad eating habits.

GIVEAWAY:

I feel like celebrating after 10 days! Since I lost 10 pounds at the first check in lets giveaway $10 Walmart Gift Cards! All you have to do is tell me what you are doing or are going to be doing to make life better for yourself. Leave a comment! I am picking 5 winners kinda at random. Most will be at random, but if I really like one I may just give it to you for that!! Pandering is acceptable! 🙂

I’m telling you 30 days builds a habit and hopefully it is a good one!!

Lunch- Salami & Cheese , mixed nuts and a raw carrot

Dinner- Tiffany’s Awesome Meatloaf and a Salad

We unfortunately don’t have a recipe written down for the meat loaf, but we will next time.

Today is Day 5 of my 30 Day Great Weight Rollback Challenge and it is a little rougher, it is my wife’s fault. She is mean, REALLY REALLY MEAN!!!

My kryptonite is homemade, fresh out of the oven Chocolate Chip Cookies. Who would make those while I am in the middle of my 30 Day Challenge?!?! I am happy to report that I fought off the temptation that my gorgeous but hateful wife put in my way. I had to, tomorrow is Day 6 and that means I have to weigh in.

That’s right, tomorrow is my public check in and hopefully not my humiliation. I will get on the scale for all of you so don’t miss tomorrow. I want to hear how all of you are doing that took up the challenge, you by no means need to share scale results if you chose weight loss to improve, but I want to hear how you are doing! Overall, I feel very good and I fully expect to have some good results to show you tomorrow.

I am so excited about everyone that has decided to join me on my 30 Day Challenge. I am ready to report my results for Day 2. I have a few people show some concern for me regarding how I go about my weight loss challenge. I can assure you that I will not starve myself, I know it is only day 2 but I feel great. I am not even a little bit hungry and in fact I felt really full today. I am drinking a lot of water, especially before I eat a meal.

How did day 2 go for you? I’d love to here how it is going!
