Trying to stay positive and motivated...

This feels like the 7 year itch of working out and eating right.  I have not worked out at all this week.  I don't know if I'm just making excuses or what - which I am totally open to that possibility, by the way - but I am exhausted 90% of the time, I feel like I can't get a deep breath because of some lung malfunction, I have no energy, and no patience whatsoever.  Therefore, my results are going up, rather than down.  In fact, a three pound weight gain happened in just the last 2 weeks.  It's pretty depressing. 

However, on the positive front - Chris and I spent hours today cleaning, reorganizing, throwing stuff out and setting stuff aside to give away - purging is always a mood lifter.  In addition, a neighbor gave us his 60" TV, I kid you not, for nothing.  Zero dollars spent on a ginormous TV.  Bonus!

As a side note, regarding the lung issues, as we were cleaning today I was floored by the amount of dust in this apartment.  It isn't that we're slobs - we dust and clean as much as we ever have.  However, never have I seen this much dust accumulate so quickly.  It makes me wonder if my breathing problems aren't starting right here at home.

Anyway, I have avoided this long enough, here are the hideous results....
