Boxes, boxes and more boxes!

My last day of work at the BCM was yesterday.  It was a little sad, but now I can focus on moving and getting things packed.  I've cleaned out my office and brought home about 7 boxes of books/items from there.  I had no idea I had that much stuff at work!  I'm pretty sure when I moved in 4 years ago, that I only brought about 3 or 4 boxes.  That's what scares me about the apartment!  I've been here 4 years and Matt moved his stuff in as well.  There's no telling how many boxes we're actually going to need. 
Matt and I have started packing some boxes in our apt.  We found out that if you go to Wal-Mart around midnight when they're restocking their shelves, you can get free boxes.  YAY! That was exactly what we needed.  Now we've got all these boxes and no where to put them.  :) 

We're thinking that if we pack a box or two at a time, it won't be so overwhelming come July 9th.  That's when we're getting the moving truck and packing it all in.  So, we've cleaned out the back storage room outside, and I've boxed up some of the nic-nac stuff in the Living Room.  There's plenty left to do, but we'll be gone this weekend to visit Matt's family in Denham Springs.  It might be a while before we get back down there since we'll be about 10 hours away.  The days are going to fly by as we're trying to say bye to people and the town we've grown to love.  Pray for us as we start this new chapter in our lives together. 

A learning process.

Well, yesterday I weighed in for my second time at Weight Watchers and was a little surprised, but not really.  On The Biggest Loser (one of my fav shows for some reason) the second week is always a bad week on the scale.  Your body seems to be in shock from the weight you lost the week before, and just kind of stabilizes for a bit.
There wasn't a gain, but the loss I had was only .2 lbs, which puts my total loss at 2.8 lbs.  I'm okay with it, but I'm hoping that this week will be a little better.  The problem I have with this upcoming week is that Matt and I are going to Denham Springs for the weekend.  I'm sure his grandmother will try to get me to eat a lot- like all grandmothers do.
Yesterday, I did two work outs.  I got up at 6:30 and ran 3 miles then yesterday afternoon, I did the stairmaster for about 35 minutes which was about 4.25 miles.  So, I felt good all day.  Today though, I'm just tired and I think the weather has put me in a slump for a bit.  I'll go to the gym tomorrow either the morning or afternoon.  I've got to get at least 2 more workouts in b/c I'm sure I won't be able to work out while we're in DS.
I've got a weight loss in mind, but I'm just not setting a time frame for losing it.  I do think it'll take a couple of months though, especially given this week's progress.  :)   I'm not giving up either.
