As of this morning I can't report a loss :-( But I won't report a gain either :-) My body is in another stall, due to circumstances I can't control. Enough said about that....
Yesterday I spent most of the day getting rid of clutter. I can't stand all the stuff!!! I guess with a 40lb weight loss comes the need toss out the junk in every area of my life, not just the weight. I was able to pull out about 30 or so tops and about 5 pair of pants from my closet and drawers that were way too big. Boy howdy did that feel so good!!! But the greatest thing was that I cleaned and cleaned most of the day and had the energy to do it! I was very tired at the end of the day, but I couldn't believe how I kept going and going. It was truly amazing to me. When you have spent day after day with 40 extra pounds strapped to you it starts to take a toll on you. You just can't do the things that you know you need to do. I can't wait to see how it feels with another 40 lbs gone!!!
Today I continue my quest to de-clutter my life. I have decided to just take it room by room and day by day. Maybe I will come up with enough stuff to have a garage sale in the fall, when it cools off.
BTW - Did any of you watch Extreme Makeover - Weight Loss Edition? I did and was so inspired by it! That will be my new summer show, along with So You Think You Can Dance :-)

Hi loved this post made me smile. We are getting ready to purge big time with a possible move so we are in the same boat.
