195.6 - 70.6 pounds to go

Yup, the scale didn't budge this week. Purely water weight I am sure, so no big deal. Hopefully soon I'll get back to losing ~2 pounds per week. January really set me back and is messing with my head. I keep feeling like I haven't lost much since the holidays - probably about 15 pounds. My parents hadn't seen me since then and stopped by over the weekend and both commented about how much I've lost since then. Maybe it's just me. Fifteen is better than nothing, but still messes with me and makes me feel like I'm crawling along.

We've been completely redoing our bedroom this past week and one of the items on the list is a mirror. It was actually kind of nice shopping for one and seeing myself. I kind of feel like I never get to aside from at work where I can see myself waist up in the bathroom. I still don't know that I see 50 pounds of difference, but I see a little one.

Our other major renovation to the bedroom is the closet. We ended up buying one big dresser and two smaller ones for the closets because I am tired of running out of room. When we put things back to normal though, I plan on going through clothes and tossing aside the things that no longer fit. Last night, right before bedtime, I suddenly panicked and realized that all of my work clothes were either dirty or stuffed in a basket somewhere in the sea of bedroom belongings that are temporarily strewn all over our loft. My solution was to see if my old pants still fit in the slightest. I kind of figured a belt might help and make it doable. No go, not at all. Which I seem to recall trying before, hence the progress pic of the old pants on bottom with new on top. Instead I quickly dug out my work clothes and started laundry, noting that we have to purge some of our old clothes. It will be a sad, sad day for sure. I have a lot of cute t-shirts than I absolutely do not want to get rid of that are getting too big. Why can't they be taken in on the sides?!
