Hey everyone! (I'm assuming that more than one person reads this?) All is well. Here's the update on my life:

Today marks the end of the first week of my diet and exercise extravaganza. I have been pop-free for seven whole days now (Goodbye Coke, my good friend), and have exersized 6 of the 7 days. I feel great and may have lost a couple of pounds. My goal is to lose a total of 20 lbs. by the beginning of May. That's a ten week program and my hope is that by the end of those weeks, I will have developed some healthy habits and not slip back into eating cookies and ice cream daily. One week down and nine to go....so far so good....wish me luck.

I started the project of removing all the wallpaper from my bathroom. I never liked the stuff that was there when we bought it almost two years ago, but have put up with it until now. I'm going to paint, and hopefully get some new towels and a fancy shower curtain. I've got paint chips in all shades of brown taped to the wall so that when I sit in the tub (or on the throne) I can ponder which colour I like the best. Hubby's not thrilled with my love for the earthy tones and I know that the brown craze has somewhat died, but unless someone gives me an exciting new alternative...Brown it will be.

I've been picking up a lot more contract jobs which are fun to do. It feels like spring is coming. I'm reinventing my body, my home and my attitude. Things are good.
