Not Quite There Yet...

Hello all-

I lost 1.4 pounds today! I thought I would gain. I am now a measley .6 away from a 20 pound weight loss! I will do it this week!! It's like the worst form of torture...! .6 I should have pee'd before I weighed this morning!! :) I WILL DO IT THIS WEEK. I am so close!! People are finally starting to notice, it mostly shows in my face. I can't wait to see my neuro-psych this week, he will be so happy for me! There will be NO CRYING at this appointment! HA! I am walking on air, I have come so far. This is the best I have ever kept track of my weight! It's not going up it's finally going the other direction!

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

Hangin' with the Neighbor's

Lindsay went for her 1st ride on a four-wheeler this evening. But, not alone our neighbor drove her around the subdivision!
We made Smores by the fire pit.

Nikki kept scaring all the kids on the swing.

Nikki showing off with the Hoola-Hoop.

She is still going...

...and going!

Lindsay tried the hoola hoop but eventually just danced around with it.

Here Lindsay is still dancing...Brooke was at Aunt Agatha and Uncle Paul's so we could keep her germ free from Lindsay. She had a stomach bug the day before.

Lindsay learned a neat rolling trick with the hoop.

Another fire pit shot.

The neighbor's beefing up the wood.

She keeps going...

She breaks Nikki's record.

The ULTIMATE Hoola-Hoop pose.

Lindsay waits for her turn.

Aunt Patti is very proud she has another neice!

So tiny in her car seat and her come home outfit. Aunt Patti helped mom get Brooke ready for the ride home!

Dear Pat,

We hope you have a wonderful birthday. Lindsay, Brooke, Mike and I love you so much. Thank you for always being there for us. Especially, little did we know 31/2 weeks later you really had to be there for us. Not with much choice. You were such a prominent part of saving my life so I could get back to enjoying my two babies!

Love your baby sister, Mike and the girls!

Weight Watcher's Report

As of today's weigh in, I have officially lost 18 pounds. I lost 2.6 this week and I am doing great at the gym. I walked 3 miles on the treadmill yesterday in 65 minutes. I am trying to get it up to 4 before my March of Dimes walk. I am really proud of myself because I no longer need the shower stool that I borrowed from Donna. I am becoming more and more independent as I lose weight and get fit. However there are some days that the stamina is just not there and I manage to pick myself up and go exercise, there is something about the competition with myself that helps me plug along. I can't wait to hit 20# I am hoping at that mark I can finally move down a size in my pants! Thank you to everyone that has supported me in the MOD walk. I only need a few more sponsors, so I thought I would hit up the neighbors too.

Have a great weekend everyone! I sure am!

Love,

Chris

And Congratulations to my friends Renata and Larry who FINALLY just became mom and dad to the sweetest boy from Korea who is 18 months and now named Jon David Weiss!! They met him at the airport Thursday night! WOOHOO!! Best wishes to the newest best family I know!!

Can she ham it up or what?
