Weigh In Wednesday: Goal Surpassed

A part of me thinks my scale must be manipulating numbers. It must be broken.


Let's bounce back to last week...



236 pounds to 229.6 in 7 days. That's 6.4 pounds in a week. My goal was 234. Not the recommended "healthy" weight loss, but I just changed my diet & little things. I've went back to the gym - 2 times so far this week. I take the stairs as often as I can, down more than up right now. Fresh fruit for breakfast, haven't ate breakfast since I was in grade school. Fresh fruit for snack. Chicken for dinner. I drink water now. It's make your own salad at work everyday for lunch. I hope I don't tire of it. I used to eat fast food 5-6 times a week, drink half a case of pop or more in a day.. I was once up to 3 litres of Pepsi a day & little to no exercise a day. Horrible, ain't it? & trying hard not to eat 2-3 hours before bed. It didn't happen tonight.

Stay tuned for some Pyrex finds!

Hump Day Dump & Weigh In Wednesday

Today I bring you,
Hump Day Dump
&
Weigh In Wednesday

Hump Day Dump is my weekly thrift finds up to & including Wednesday & Weigh In Wednesday is exactly what it sounds like - I take the plunge onto the scale. I've decided one last try before I sign up for every fast food e-news letter in a 50km radius. The weekly updating here will offer some support & documenting, which can only be a positive thing during my weight loss.

Here's a very kitschy, cute set of Made In Japan googly eyed owl bookends. Price? $2.99 for the set! Cheap, chipless & vintage, just the way I like it. I've tucked them in front of my Butterprint Cinderella bowls - for now.



Another great example of Value Village pricing - a 475-B & 471-B, both near mint, without lids, one huge, one small, priced on separate days, obvs, but both $4.99. Another blogger paid $12.99 for a piece of not so mint Autumn Harvest casserole with lid from Value Village. Not my favourite pattern, but I don't utilize much of my Pyrex for breakage fears, but now, worry free cooking, baking, mixing & eating.


An owl magnet. Reminds me of something my one aunt, who still has her bathroom done up in Butterfly Gold, had.


Adding to my writing tablet collection this past Monday with a Treasure Troll tablet from my favourite tablet makers, C.M. Paula Co., 1992.


Weigh In Wednesday..


236. This is not the weight I want to be. Not at all. This is not the most I have ever weighed, 255 sometime last year, was the most. My weight goal is to lose 46 pounds. I would love to attain this goal by my birthday - August 7th. Next weeks goal: 234. How will i attain this goal? Counting calories, not eating out, hitting up the gym (2x this week so far, thx) even when I feel like absolute shit, while I'm there putting every effort into it - I'm off my butt, I'm there, I'm gonna do this.

Happy Thrifting!
