I am in shock...O_O

Weigh in today came in at 170.2! WTFrick???? How is that possible??? That makes me down 7.4 lbs in one week! I have NEVER dropped that much in a first week of a diet EVER!! I started thinking the scale was broken but I got the same number 3 times and made others weigh on it to make sure that was right for them. I am beyond thrilled! I am so happy with my new eating style that the beginning crankiness went away quickly. So I LOVE my bodybugg! I am able to get online every night and see my deficit and know I am doing a good job and this week included a trip to Olive Garden for dinner and picked up Teriyaki one night too. We went to Red Ronin tonight and I ordered my 1/2 order crispy chicken salad and have strawberry short cake for dessert at home and I had had that earlier this week as well. I am motivated to move and not just sit on my butt. i want to make I am burning as many calories i can at home. I didn't work out this week but I've been spring cleaning and reorganizing my house and apparently that burns a good amount of calories. I have having a deficit average of 1500 calories everyday. 3500 is one lb, so granted I know some water weight was lost this week as well. But I have high hopes to hit my 2 lbs loss goal for next week. I

It kind of scares me how I can succeed at hints I put my mind to. It is like God saying finally now we can go the places you've been praying about. My home reorganization is a major answer to prayer as well. I grew up in a house where we picked up but rarely did we "clean" I mean if I was told to clean my room stuff went under the bed in toy boxes, closets or bins. The too would have a clear floor, beds made and, it looks good just don't open the closet door, lol! So when we moved into this house DH moved in 2 weeks before the wedding then my stuff came. So we had a catch all room where when we didn't know where to put something we'd just put it in there. As years past it really remained that way with that room and our dinning room table. Random bags & bins full of stuff to be dealt with later but had to be stashed to make for a quick clean. I can to the conclusion that everything needs a home. Our problem is nothing has any one place it belongs so things end up everywhere. So the big spring cleaning purge began last Sat. The office(includes our linen closet) took 3 days. The boys room 2 days. We had a yard sale today and I got the bathroom done. So now I just have the living room, dinning room, hall closet, kitchen & last but not least my closet. The great thing is the super big projects are done. I can get probably at least the kitchen and living room done tomorrow. Then I hope to get the closets and dining room on Sunday. Keep in mind this was done on a week I didn't have to work. So I have been going on this about 6-8 hrs a day. It is so strange to walk in the rooms that are done and know there is no pile, bin, basket or closet to be dealt with later or to avoid. I can't wait until it is all done and we can teach our children where things go cause right now they just put everything on the floor because the was no where anything belonged.
