What is your motivation?

One of my motivations has been seeing the progress with my own eyes. My most recent picture (below in yellow) blows my mind because I look normal... normal is so odd to me.   Anyway. I've been tracking my progress by taking pictures every few months.
I thought I'd share them and encourage you to do the same. It really helps on those days when you need an extra push of self control and motivation.

i posted on the parade earlier. Is that what you are referring to?

The house hunt is going great. We're doing a walk through of 6 different places this weekend. But I know which one I want. I'm 99.9% positive I want this house. It's a very generic looking victorian. It's 117 years old. And smack in the middle of the city. It's recently had a major remodel to bring it to code. I'm so excited about it. This house could be something awesome, funky and just for us. I'll share pictures later.

Sounds great! I have never lived in a new house (well, just once, briefly!) - old means more work to maintain but for I just like them better!

How funny you call them Victorian when that must mean they were built after the US and the UK were no longer connected and so Victoria was not your queen!

The oldest house I ever lived in was built in the early 1600s! And the house in which I was brought up as a child was built (probably!) in the early 1700s. Not in any way convenient!! But I loved them! Our current house is relatively new - built in 1930.

On this side of the puddle, Victorian is just a style. It's not meant to have historical significance when it comes to these style of houses in the Pacific Northwest. LOL!!!  Our history out here is by far richer in Native American than British. Although I think Lewis and Clark would debate that.

it's slowly slipping away. I went from around a 44 ddd to a 38 dd. I'm hoping to get a wee bit smaller in the bust before this is all over.
