12.5 to Go

Another 1.8 pounds down, leaving me with a total of 65 pounds lost, and 12.5 pounds to go to my goal weight.  Not too shabby!

I went ahead and ordered organizers for my walk-in closet project, and I was surprised how quickly some of the items arrived.  I got one organizer the day after I ordered it!  Some pretty baskets arrived yesterday, and I am waiting on just one more item, a small 3-drawer dresser.  I will do a final clean-out after I hit goal weight, but I have started getting rid of some clothes just to make room and make the organizing project easier.

I wouldn’t say those are a woman’s only two problems, but I feel like this sometimes!

A lot of the clothes I had to get rid of look brand new, but they are now 2 to 3 sizes too big, and I simply can’t wear them anymore.  As I was folding them and putting them into the bag, it occurred to me that I could see if Psycho would like any of it, since most of the clothes are in pristine shape and quite nice.  But I already know that any such kindness on my part will be twisted into some evil, nasty gesture by her jealous and petty brain, so whatever.  Off to Goodwill they went.

I would love to ditch 2.5 pounds this week and hit my next mini goal (and earn my next weight loss reward), but since my weight loss has slowed down, I don’t see that happening.  I should be able to hit my mini goal by the end of March, though.

Someone asked me recently if I am already at goal weight, and that made me smile all day.  Nope, not quite there yet, but very close!

  2. Congrats on yet another loss. You’ll be at goal soon. But don’t forget that the closer to goal you are, the slower the loss. Stay on track and we will all be celebrating with you soon!

    1. Psycho is my husband’s ex-wife. The nickname is definitely earned…and deserved! Long story short, she stalks me, has followed me when I go running, bad-mouths me to the kids, spreads rumors about me, yet can’t get enough of me. All the same, I thought it would be a nice gesture to offer the clothes to her before taking them to Goodwill, because they are in excellent condition and darn cute 🙂 But I already knew she would just see an opportunity to whip up drama and complain, and the kids don’t need to be exposed to even more of that.
