I AM SO EXCITED

Finally after months and months of being a slug the motivation to clean came to me. LAST NIGHT. YEP I have been cleaning my house all night long. It all started when I decided I would take my friend Tami's advice and just fold laundry for 15 minutes. She knows how I am...I tend to be a little bit of a perfectionist. Where I will either do it all one way or not at all. And because I didnt perfectly fold the laundry as it came out of the dryer...I let it pile up till it was so big that the thought of folding overwhelmed me. SO I did 15 minutes of folding. Not so bad I made a dent..then I thought, I'll go through my fat clothes and see if any of my skinny things fit me. THATS when I got excited!!!!

I have this dress that I havent been able to wear in 4 years. In fact when I bought it it barely fit..and was snug. I tried it on and would you believe that dress is LOOSE ON ME! I want to run around the house jumping for joy but its 5 am and I dont want to wake anyone up. So i tried on this skirt I have been WAITING to wear and it was TOOO BIG!! I also had this dress that I couldnt even pull over me and that was too big. I had some jumpers that I didnt particularly like anymore but i couldnt even fit into them..and dang it those are too big. I am just so happy!! AND I got rid of some of the clothes I hated! I just cant believe it because when i look in the mirror..i dont seem like ive lost any weight but those clothes dont lie! I have a skirt that 3 months ago..I could not get about the middle of my thighs..much less over my wide hips and that skirt fits me perfectly now! Its soo good to see progress like this! I cant wait to lose the rest of this weight! Im 1/2 way there and have more than enough time to get it off. Once Jim comes home we will be going to the gym together! I cant wait! I need the motivation and I love going with my hubby!

SO back to that dent! I ended up folding all my laundry, and cleaning my bedroom! I have all this boundless energy right now and I am going to get things done! Jim will be able to relax and enjoy time with us in a clean house! Well I gotta go! Cleaning awaits me!
