All Moved In!

Good Morning All,

Brian and I moved into our new apartment on Saturday morning. We're all settled in and enjoying the place muchly! Saturday morning we (along with many helpers) started moving everything over around 7:45am. We finished around 1:30pm, when we took a break for lunch. Everything arrived except for our couch (they initially delivered the wrong one) and the box spring for our bed (didn't fit in the SUV). So our bed and couch will be set up tomorrow evening. Very much looking forward to that! Everyone except one friend left before 2pm, and then we spent the next 8 hours or so unpacking / cleaning. At around 10:30pm, we decided enough was enough and we took a much deserved movie break. We watched one of our new movies, Slammin' Salmon. It was pretty funny; definitely a silly movie that you don't need to think about too much. After the movie, it was time to head for bed. It had been an exhausting day. Our building doesn't have an elevator, so I feel like I've worked out enough to last a month!

Sunday we got up around 9am... watched a couple episodes of Friends and then headed to Shoppers and Loblaws for a big grocery trip. We left around 10:30am and didn't get home until 12:30pm! After 3 trips up and down the stairs bringing all the groceries in, we made ourselves some lunch. We realized after lunch that the new shower curtain we bought, didn't come with the clips so we had to head back out. It had already been over 24 hours, not to mention the countless runs up and down the stairs, since I last showered. I needed a shower. So we went back to Loblaws, got the clips for the shower curtain and headed back home. I got showered and cleaned up by 2pm and then it was time to clean the place! We spent a good 3 hours cleaning and I'm now proud to say I can walk around barefoot without feeling disgusted! We then made some dinner and watched Sherlock Holmes. It had been yet another hectic day so I was in bed by 10:30pm. At this point I was soo thankful that I had taken Monday off work.

Monday we had to be up before 8am. The Roger's cable guy was coming between 8am-11am and we don't yet have a number for people to buzz up, so we had to sit by the window and watch out for him. He arrived around 9:30am and stayed until 11am. After that, Brian set up our internet password and then we made some lunch. We were due for a lazy afternoon so we watched Independence Day and caught up on an episode of House and Criminal Minds. Brian left for work around 5pm and I had my first night alone in the apartment. I was so exhausted so I can't say I did much! I napped a bit, watched 3/4 of a movie that ended up being pretty awful, and surfed the net a bit. I was in bed when Brian got home so I got up to say goodnight and then was dead to the world seconds later!

As for weightloss.. I did very well all week with eating well while not blogging, but then this weekend my meals were a bit messed up. I was over hungry from running the boxes up 3 flights of stairs, so I overindulged a bit in the pizza, the cookies, etc. As of this morning I was up 0.6 of a lb. I was essentially able to maintain throughout the big move weekend, but I'm looking forward to getting back on track and losing the last 6 lbs!
