One week into the Big Slice Off challenge, I'm doing really well. I lost 3.6 pounds, although I'm suspect of my weigh in last Monday. Like I said before I think it was a weird day (water retention or something). Nevertheless, this is where I am officially today, 179.4.
My goal is to be at 150 lbs by August 3 (the day we get on the plane to Maui). Kind of aggressive at this point, but that's what I'm shooting for. I'm also doing the Future MILF deal over at Mom-o-Matic. You can never have too much support or too much motivation.
The challenge for the next couple of weeks will be the fact that I am not able to cook at home. Hubby successfully ripped the counter tops off yesterday in preparation for the new counters. Yikes.
In other news, hubby is off to spring training on Thursday and will be gone until Sunday. Not sure what I'm going to do. I'm staying home from work on Friday just to kick around and to be able to take both kids to and from school without needing help from friends. Darren has 2 doctor's appointments tomorrow, one for the ankle that he twisted badly yesterday and one to renew his meds for ADHD. Our new sink shipped today (part of the kitchen remodel). Friday we find out if Darren got in to Serra High School or not. I also got a new cell phone today, a Blackberry. New toys are always fun.
Oh, and did I mention that Payton's Spanish teacher recommended him for Honors Spanish for next year? Sheesh. He's never taken an honors class before. My boy is getting some smarts!
You got a blackberry??? oooooooooooooh.....I'm jealous!! I'm hoping to get a blackberry when my upgrade comes around!!! How fun. New toys rock!!

Hey Chika - you're doing great! I know it takes lots of effort and not so fun choices sometimes (like I really want a glass of wine tonight!mmm but then that a lot of calories!)...Just think about items that weigh about 3.6 lbs... that is about the weight of my NOTEBOOK computer... wow! You're aweseome!!!!
xoxo

What is a blackberry? I need to get a new cell phone, and have no clue what's even out there. Mine is over 2 years old, and doesn't want to hold a charge. YAY on the weight! I'll be sending good thoughts your way for Darren. I know it must be stressful to wait.

Great loss - well done. Sounds like it is all go at your house just now. My husband got a blackberry, he hated it at first (he had no choice, it came with his job), now he loves it.

All people deserve very good life time and http://www.lowest-rate-loans.com or just secured loan would make it better. Just because freedom is grounded on money.
