So I maintained this week. I consider that an accomplishment after the food-filled weekend I had! I was genuinely shocked when I got on the scale this morning! The only downside this week is that WW cut a point from my daily allowance. I now have 31 daily points. That at least tells me that I am on the road to progress.

This weekend will be interesting. I am going up to Maryland to clean and start packing our apartment up there. Since I moved down here in October for a job, Chris has been living in Maryland to continue working there while he searches for a job here. Our lease on our apartment up there only had about 4 months left at the time so we figured we would just keep the apartment through the end of the lease rather than paying the penalties of breaking it. Our lease is up at the end of this month, so we only have 3 more weeks to get everything wrapped up there.

I think that honestly is beginning to stress me out a bit. I am trying so hard not to turn to food to comfort my stress.

I am so happy that we made the move down here to NC and I have loved every minute of being down here. I know I’ll love it even more once Chris is down here full-time as well. But I think I’m having a little bit of a hard time saying a final goodbye to southern Maryland. I know I’ll be back to visit fairly often, especially since my parent’s and Chris’s parents still live up there. But I know it’ll be different once Chris and I no longer have a place of our own up there anymore. It’s been great to be able to ease into the transition of moving. When it was time to move me down here, I didn’t have to worry about making sure our apartment was emptied out (we had to leave Chris with some stuff to live reasonably comfortably!). I didn’t have to worry about closing out our utilities accounts or even changing our address on everything at once. It’s been nice to take our time with some of the stresses that come with moving.

All that also meant, however, that I didn’t feel like I had to say a full goodbye to SOMD when I packed up and headed south. I still had direct ties (and bills to pay!) to Maryland. All that is quickly coming to an end. The trip this weekend may very well be my last time in our first apartment. Chris will still be up there through the end of the month but I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to make one last trip up there. 

So I will bid a fond farewell to our humble first apartment and try to channel those emotions into positive energy this week.
