Weigh In Wednesday (on Thursday)

I was blessed yesterday to spend an extra hour in bed thanks to my awesome husband and the wonderful treat he gave me in taking the boys to school. As such, I forgot to get on the scale. So, this morning I did and am happy to report that I am down 2.8lbs. Hooray! You have no idea how much I needed that! I am over the moon with this little accomplishment and it has renewed my need to be more accountable about what I eat and getting downstairs and doing my yoga every day. I plan to work my ass off over the next couple of weeks and I plan to enjoy myself while I am away. I don't plan to over-indulge but don't plan to eat only grapes for two weeks either. Craig let me know that he is down to his pre-christmas weight - good job, Craig! Things are looking up, people. Things are looking up!

CONGRATULATIONS!! It does feel good when that little needle goes down doesn't it! Way to go!

Hope your new job is going well for you Craig and it's not too stressful.

We just got home from Line Dancing and coffee and shopping for veggies & fruits for the week. It seems to help to have them all cleaned up and ready to eat when you want something to snack on. Good luck with this next week.

BIG HUGS TO ALL!

Good going Shannon. That is a super weight loss. I'm glad I can't weigh in although I'm being as good as I can under the circumstances. Dad checks out all the little places for good hors d'oeuvres at cheap prices. Riverside Casino has $2.50 shrimp cocktail with $1.49 margaritas. Guess where we'll be snacking tomorrow.

We are on a high ridge overlooking the Colorado River and the lights of Laughlin. Very spectacular. We sure hope your trip gives you the travel bug and makes you want to travel more. When you were growing up we took at least two holidays a year and rarely got back to work on the day we were supposed to. That's the beauty of retirement, there is no day to be back.

Love to all
