Going Going Going

So I am seriously proud of myself...maybe not for any weight loss...but for my house/cleanliness! One of my goals for 2012 was to be generally 'better' at stuff! Meaning, anything! I know it's genaric but there were so many things in my life that I was just lazy and careless about. And I needed to pay more attention.

One huge thing in my life and my families life was the cleanliness of our hosue. I have always thought of mom's and friend's of mine who always have their house so clean and thought 'how in the heck do they do that'? Well, I'm attempting it and doing good.

One of my things has been keeping my kitchen clean. Now, it has been failing (sort of) this past week, but in general I have been doing pretty well! And trying to keep the living room and Jack's room clean. The only downside is that there are still so much clutter going on everywhere. Maybe I have the 'Spring Cleaning' bug. But I am so tired of all of the extra crap. I took a day off of work on Monday and I spent a solid 4 hours cleaning out our master bedroom and bathroom. I know. A lot. But our room had not been seriously clean since we moved into the house 4 years ago. What??? you say. It's true. Evan and I both had been bad about throwing stuff away and organizing the house. But now it's changing!! I am bound and determined to get it all out! Get out the stuff that we don't need. No more of this 'maybe I think someday i'll use it'. It's gone. I'm done. Trash it. Just throw it away or give it to Goodwill. And looking at it all...I really am stupid for thinking about keeping things. Why did we have a box of unopened towels still from our wedding behind the chair in our bedroom. OPEN IT and put the towels away. Why did I have 4 empty tampon boxes in the cabinet under my sink. Why did Evan have 3 old cologne bottles just sitting on his counter taking up space? We aren't hoarders....but I it somedays seems close. But step one of the clean bedroom and bath room is done!

For this, I am proud of myself. At this point, I probably need 2 more days kid and husband free to clean out the rest of the house. But I'm moving forward. Hazahh! (next to tackle our guestroom closet...thowing away bags of old tissue paper is going to be hard for me).

On the note of my weight loss. I have lost 2 pounds....down to 178. (maybe less becuase I was wearing clothes, lol). I have a nail appointment on Saturday afternoon. So hopefully I will weigh myself on Saturday and I will see 175. That's my first goal. Wish me luck.
