Eh, it was a mixed weekend...

First the good...Since the beginning of the year (and before that) I've wanted to lose weight, I used a lot of excuses the last few months (I was too busy, there were too many things going on, the crappy weather this winter didn't make me want to).  As of today - I've lost half a pound from where I started the year!  I've actually lost a lot more than that in the last month - At my highest (gulp) - I was in the mid-190's.  I've worked my way SLOWLY down, but in the last month I've been able to shed 7 pounds!  I'm pretty proud of myself.

Kicking off the New Year and Weighing-in

We rang in the New Year as a family this year. We spent NYE at a friend’s house with his family and had dinner and watched some bowl games. On our way home about 10 pm the boys mentioned they’d never celebrated NYE before, I couldn’t believe it, so I showed them what NYE was all about (I’ve always celebrated with the girls, even when they were tiny babies). We got home and all changed into PJs, then watched 9 to stay awake (boring movie – I fell asleep). The movie ended at about 11:50 and we switched the tv over to one of the NYE celebrations to watch the ball drop. I poured Sparkling White Grape Juice for everyone (even Mr. S and I) and we did the countdown together. After all the kissing and hugging – we were in bed by 12:05.
