My OCD Got The Best Of Me

My bathroom needed a deeeep cleaning after an unfortunate incident Wednesday night. Within five minutes of each other, we both had a major stomach virus hit us. Since then, I knew a major cleaning was in order. So today I broke out all the cleaning tools and went to town. Towards the end of cleaning I realized how much I hated our curtains and shower curtain. They had been left by the previous owner and were not my taste. 

After a quick trip to the store I yanked down the curtains and put up a new shower curtain. I'm still planning on painting the walls and vanity this summer...but this is still a major improvement!

My quest continued by cleaning out my makeup drawer and linen closet.

I'm tackling my closet tomorrow! Pictures to follow.

Monday April 14

Phillip called me "makeup girl" this morning. I couldn't decide if that was a compliment or not! He told me I looked really nice...that's because I actually spent time doing my makeup this morning.

Breakfast was a simple smoothie:

Had a little snack this morning because I was getting hungry around 10 am.

Lunch was packed last night and easy to grab this morning (chicken with mixed steamed veggie plus strawberries and grapes).  I'm also going to try and drink that water today but going to the bathroom at school is sometimes a problem!:

Dinner was quick and simple (Aldi's pizza plus a caesar salad):

Overall it was a good day. The kids were so amazing today and I made sure to tell them how much I appreciate them. However, I am glad to only have three more work days this week.

Today I started a blog!  It was on a complete whim but I feel like I need a good kick in the pants to keep going with my weight loss journey.  I'm really trying to do this to stay accountable to myself.  I find that when I document/log things I tend to be more focused.  If you would like to read along with me, great!  I welcome your friendly comments and feedback as well.

This week's fitness schedule:
