I finally have a few minutes of ME time, so here I am. I reached my first mini goal Friday! I have lost a total of 20.4 lbs. I had to change my ww day because of my schedule@ work changing. I am off the overnight shift, and now I work a mix of openings and closings, which is not too bad so far……but we shall see. We finally found a house, and we make settlement on March 25th!!Last week-end was very stressful. We made an offer, they counter offered, and we accepted, so everything was looking up. Then our agent called Sunday night and told us that there were 4 other offers on the house over the week end and the seller was going to take the best and final offers, and wanted them all by 5 pm on monday. There was no way we could go up as far as price goes, plus we figured there are too many homes out there to go above our financial means. So, we tweaked a few things with our agent, prayed alot. Monday night, right before I left for work, our agent called and told us the news that they chose our offer!!! So for the rest of the week I was in fast forward mode trying to get everything together because they want to settle asap.   We have our home and termite inspection tomorrow, I am kind of excited, and overwhelmed at the same time. I have not even begun to pack, which isn’t too bad I guess, since our lease here is not up until April 30th. We have the movers scheduled for the 5th. Yeah we had to get movers because  we are moving to another town about 20 minutes away. Not to mention that in 7 years we have been together how much STUFF we have managed to collect!!  I am very excited…did I mention I am excited???? lol. I get to go in tomorrow and while my S/O is doing the man thing with the inspector, I can do things like get measurements and note the colors of the bathrooms, kitchen and all that fun stuff. I absolutly LOVE this house!!!! Thank you to everyone who helped me keep positive when I was sooo frustrated with all the house hunting stuff. I knew this was the house for us the day we first walked in to look. I felt it.Just as many of you told me, i would just know when i found the right house. and i did. we both just felt it. We don’t have to paint or anything it is just perfect. Just the normal woman thing of cleaning everything.
O well, hope everyone is having a great week end. I will check back when I can, I do manage to pop on here and read blogs, because honestly, it is coming on here and reading that have been keeping me sane.

Hope everyone has a great week end. I just got home from work, I pulled a double to cover for someone. This is officially my last week of over night shifts……or supposed to be. We finally found a house and after our offer and the sellers counter offer and then our counter offer to his counter offer…..looks like we will be signing contracts within the next few days. I am soo excited. I have been doing ok with all that has been going on. I have managed to stay focused for the most part with my ww.

Went to the orthopedic doc thursday for a followup visit for my back and knees. He said that I need both knees replaced but as long as I am not in alot of pain and I am functioning alright, he does not want to do it for a few years….get this….he said I am too young!!! Haha…I haven’t been called too young since I was 17 and trying to sneak into bars!!! Imagine…me being called too young!!!! He also said that I need to continue with my weight loss program because it will help alot with the knees and back.  He also told me that I can continue to do my walking  as long as I listen to my body and increase my time and distance within moderation. I am doing almost 3 miles in 40 minutes. He said not to do that far every day, maybe a few times a week, and in between to just 35 minutes at a little bit slower pace…not a stroll, just a tiny bit slower. He also reminded me to remember I am on my feet running around like crazy for 10 plus hours at work. Ugghh… like I needed to be reminded???

Anyhow……weigh in today……thats why I am jabbering here, sorry…I am trying to ignore my bed calling me. CANNOT miss weigh in.
