One step forward, two steps back.

We worked a bit on the house today. Actually, I was quite lazy and didn't do as much as I should have. I did, however, do a twenty minute Brazilian aerobics workout AND Britt and I walked for 30 minutes tonight. (the Brazilian thing was something I recorded from Fit tv - fun)
I managed to get a few things put away in Elijah's room and empty some of the boxes from there. If you've read his blog, you would have seen that he was not happy with the state of his room. It's much better now, I assure you.
Britt said he feels as though we took one step forward and two steps back with the house. I think I disagree. While I know sometimes it seems as if we are shifting stuff from one room to another, I know that we are trying to figure out where things go and are realizing that we are seriously lacking storage space in this condo. We just have too much stuff. We have one closet that would work wonderfully to put stuff in, but we are currently using that to house the "cat stuff"..
Speaking of cats. They are about to be the death of me. Now that we are in such a small space, it seems like there is cat hair EVERYWHERE. I don't understand it. I have friends that have cats and their homes don't have cat hair all over the place. How do they do it? UGH. I bought a "Furminator". It's a brush that is supposed to remove the hair before they shed it. I tackled Dude this evening and gave him a pretty good combing with it. Yuck. I was covered and he was livid. Britt had to help me hold him. Dude growled at me the whole time. I think we will have to sedate Tinkerbell before we Furminate her. She will eat me alive, I fear.
I am really liking My Fitness Pal! It's been an excellent tool. It really reminds me of WW, only easier. Kudos to my wonderful spouse for recommending it.
Tomorrow I am meeting my friend to walk. Thankfully she changed our timing up a bit so I don't have to be there at 5:45 am. She is, however, making me walk 4 miles. I can do it. Surely I can do it.
I guess I should go to bed. Tomorrow starts a really busy few weeks for us.
