Feeling energized...

I feel so ready to attack this weight loss head on! This morning (despite not getting much sleep) I am feeling super energized and ready to hit the road running :-) Just over a week now till surgery, so excited!

Today marks day 1 of the coffee kick process. I made 1/2 regular 1/2 decaf this morning. Drank my 2 cups. Hoping to not notice any difference, we'll see. Tomorrow if all goes well i'll make just decaf and enjoy that for a couple days before i give up the morning coffee all together. I want to be well over the withdrawl from caffeine before my surgery, so i really need to kick by the weekend at the absolute latest.

Today's agenda includes a really good vacuuming of the furniture and stairs. Then i want to sort Faith's clothes and get them put away upstairs in her dresser. We are finally getting rid of the downstairs "changing table" that we've had since she was born :-)
Oh and LOTS of laundry today too :-)

Major goal #2 down thanks to John

and my mom....
Yesterday Faith spent the day with my mom, which allowed John and I to tackle the toys. We threw out 2 bags of trash (that girl saves every scrap of paper, it's nuts) and we weeded out 2 large bags of toys & books to give to a charity too. So that's one more of my big goals crossed off my list of "things to do".

I also crossed off "buy a food processor" today. I know it sounds like something i should already have since i love to cook, but i've always just used a hand blender for things that needed blending and just chopped other stuff up, used a box grater, etc. But since at first my food will need to be smooth, i just think a food processor will make much faster, easier work of it. I actually didn't get a "food processor" i got a magic bullet, it will work fine and i can use it for smoothies and such too which will be nice :-)

I have a lot more to get done this week, including kicking my coffee. I have kicked all caffeine except 2 cups of coffee in the morning. By the end of this week i will go down to 1 cup. Then by monday i will cut it all together and probably have a headache for a couple days. It will be worth it though, i know it can do it.

Tomorrow, is cleaning out Faith's clothes and getting stuff set aside for her first few days of school :-)
