Hard work eventually pays off ... right?

My challenge ends on Saturday, so I will post the final results on Sunday. It seems crazy that its been nearly 24 days. I weighed myself last Wednesday and haven't had a second to post the results. I weighed today and the scale hadn't changed. I'm feeling a little disappointed that I hadn't lost more. With that being said, last week I was sick (again!) seriously that needs to stop right flipping NOW! On Thursday when I started to feel much better I continued on at the gym. Really the only thing I quit doing was working out (but really who works out when they feel horrible?) That is why I was so disappointed that the scale stayed the same.

I weighed in at 147.2! I've hit the 30 pound mark for this blog! I am pretty excited. I can't believe overall I am 33 pounds lighter than when I started this journey. It feels so surreal that I was as big as I was. It feels crazy that I don't feel "lighter".... I know I look and feel healthier, but I thought I'd feel less baggage and lighter. Does that make sense? Probably not.

Anyways, my goal was to be at 145 at the end of the 24 Day Challenge. I am so close to getting there. It's hard. I keep telling myself that even though this is hard it will be rewarding. It's the working hard over and over and over again and the scale not wanting to cooperate that makes this journey so freaking tough!

Speaking of tough...my life just got busier!

I am now working full time.... why? Mainly because I am awesome and my boss doesn't want to hire a third MA. So besides the fact that I am feeling extremely overwhelmed I kinda feel like SuperMan. Hubby works out of state, which means I am a single, married woman, raising two kids, working full time, maid, taxi driver, and accountant all while trying to focus an hour and a half of time I don't feel like I have to better myself and be healthier for me, my kids and my husband. If I can do it ANYONE can do it. True story guys!
So if by chance you are to come to my house, don't mind the mess. If something in my crazy life gets forgotten about its gonna be the house. I have come to realize that I can't do it all. Maybe one day, but for now the house is where my attention is lacking. My OCD is actually telling me right now to get off this computer and pick up the toys....if you personally know me, you know how bad those toys are driving me crazy just laying on my floor, making the house look soooo dirty. I don't like messes and I am pretty uptight when it comes to my house..... hmmm maybe I'll hire a maid?

Thought this picture says it all. 

Make it happen!
