Week 8 of my weight loss journey

I’m starting my week 8 mounjaro injection. I weighed myself and I’m down to 261lbs. Last week I gained and was at 265lbs from 262lbs. So really I’ve only lost 1lb but it’s gone down so that’s a plus I guess. I’ve got 62lbs to go to reach my first goal of getting under 200lbs then from there another 38lbs to get to my second goal of 177lbs which is a total of 100lbs lost.

My clothes feel a little looser and my face has thinned down slightly. I don’t think I’ve lost enough for people to notice a difference in me yet. I’m hoping by my birthday in April there will be a significant change. I’m continuing to drink a good amount of water everyday. I did a 20 minute bike workout that kicked my butt but I got 4 miles out of it. My goal with workouts is to do them 3 days a week but try to push myself to 4 days.

Today was a pretty good day. I cleaned almost the whole kitchen, I just didn’t get to wiping down cabinets and cleaning out the fridge. Cleaning gets pretty overwhelming for me and I think its because of my ADHD. I want to do so many tasks at once that I get too overwhelmed and then I manage to get maybe 2 things done. I’m deciding that I’m going to focus on one room at a time for the day and whatever I got done is what I accomplished that day. Tomorrow I’m tackling my bedroom. Then obviously do a load of laundry and put laundry away. I also planned and cooked dinner tonight which is another good accomplishment for me.

The kids didn’t have school today because it was suppose to be a teacher’s inservice day but it ended up getting cancelled because of weather and now they closed school tomorrow because of the snowstorm that has come through and the terribly frigid cold temperatures. My husband works from home so he’s super excited about that. His noise canceling headphones really come in handy.

My daughter wanted me to do her make up today and then she did mine. She looked cute while I ended up looking like a clown. 😄 She’s starting to grow up before my eyes. She will be 10 this year.

My son got a “love” letter last week from a girl in his class. They are like 6 and 7! It was cute though. She wrote, “Dear ****, I love your persennaletey.” That’s how she spelled “personality”. Its a big word for a first grader so I give her my respect for that.

Both my kids are very happy they have no school tomorrow. I need to come up with chores to keep them busy.

Something else I’ve been happy with myself is I’m doing more of my crafting. I seem to put that on hold a lot too. So yes, today was a good day. I hope tomorrow will be too.
