Baby Hippo Love | Weigh in Week 6

WWweek6

Last week I was disappointed I had only lost roughly 6 pounds in one month. Today, I am thrilled to have lost 7 pounds in 6 weeks. It’s all a matter of perspective; I only lost 2 ounces this week.

I can no longer deny the importance of exercise for my long term success. This week, while eating with abandon, I exercised. Not a lot, but some, and some appeared to be enough. I plan to hike the same mountain every Monday with my friends. The rest of the week I will garden, walk, and maybe dust off the work out video I received free of charge from the Mister’s old place of employment.

Speaking of employment, he is right now sitting across his [potential] future employer discussing issues like salary, benefits, and job duties. We are optimistic the salary will be enough to keep me out of a full time position in a law firm. If it isn’t, we will take it from there.

    I blogged that I recently lost only 1.2 lbs. in a week. Seems I counted and measured and starved and was generally consumed with food and thoughts of food to only lose 1.2 lbs. Then someone reminded me that four sticks of butter is a pound of butter. I felt a little better! I only ate one stick after all!

    Here is hoping that the money is as good. A pound a week is great! Slow and steady wins the race. I lost 0.5 pound this week.

    Thanks everyone! The Mister came home with no news. The company still doesn’t have a hard figure for him, so we will wait. The owner is a long time family friend, so while we know it won’t be what he was making before, it will hopefully be in the “don’t have to work in a firm downtown” ballpark.

    I made the huge mistake of patting my mister on the belly and my son patted me back.
    Sit-ups and exercise. Monday. Promise.
    You keep up the good work.

Hi! I’m Jules.

I used to be an attorney, but it made me grumpy. Now I write about life, sweet and savory, as a wife and mother to two small boys. My knowledge of dinosaurs knows no bounds.

You can read more, including the meaning behind the name Pancakes and French Fries here. And, yes, I really am phenomenally indecisive.
