Finally... a good week!

After spending all of June dieting and exercising for a net loss of less than a pound, the rewards came all at once. I had my biggest one-week loss yet: 5.8 lbs. That puts me down to 247.8 and 14.2 pounds away from my goal. And I even cheated with a few sodas and a couple ice cream sandwiches! More than anything, the encouragement of finally finishing a week in the 240s is what will keep me going!

Birthday Celebration

Sunday we had a family birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Mimi and Granddaddy met us there for some pizza, games and cake! I wish I took a picture of Mimi at the "Deal Or No Deal" game she was WAY into it! Anyway, we all had a great time. Here is a family picture we took on our way out.

I just can't seem to string together 2 consecutive weeks of weight loss anymore. I'm beginning to resign myself to the fact that losing 40 lbs before the end of August is becoming an unreachable goal.

Birthday Tackles

It is Greg and Caed's birthday tomorrow! Because Greg is in a wedding in Indiana on Saturday he will not be here to celebrate. :( Don't worry we sang and had birthday tackles tonight instead!

New Low...

Greg finally broke into the 240's today for the first time...so he took a picture of the scale to show you!
