Happy Halloween (almost)!

Hello to all the ghosts and goblins out there!

Hope all is well and you are enjoying this lovey fall weather (Brrrrr if you are in Minnesota).

Well, it was another successful week in the weight loss world. I dropped another 3.4 and Joe lost 4!! Rock on sweetie!!! I am officially down 113.6 now! Now comes the challange.....I joined WW before Christmas last year, so I was already past the Halloween candy, and Holiday potlucks. There are all kinds of candy laying around and I am doing my best to avoid them (though I have been good when I caved and only had 1- small miracle for me since I LOVE CANDY!). We are off to a party tonight, and I am bringing a healthy(ish) treat so we can enjoy the festivities. I am going as a penguin, and Joe is going as the Red M&M (get in the bowl!).

Have to run for now. Have a happy and safe Halloween!!

Wooohoooooo!

Wow! Another great week on the weight loss. I went down 3.4, and am not at a total of 110.2! Not too bad for starting a part time job and not getting as much walking as I usually do. Joe, on the other hand, went up .6. :( I wish I knew what else I could do to inspire him to keep on losing. He said he wants to get back on track, but it has to be in his own time.....which is hard on me when we aren't in this together. I just keep hoping....

Well I have to run. Time to go home for the day and get ready to go play at my stamping group tonight :).

Until next time!!

Happy Fall!!

Well, here I am again after a 5 month hiatus. Where has the time gone??

Just to update on my weight loss journey: yes I am still sticking to the plan, and yes I am still losing. As of today, I am officially down 107 pounds! I have made some major milestones since my last post. I hit 72 pounds on my birthday in May (happy birthday to me!!), made 92 in early August, and hit the big 101 in early September. Joe is still plugging along at 55 pounds as of today. He is struggling a bit, but I know he will be back on track in no time.

Since the last post, we have taken another trip back up to the North Shore and Duluth. Split Rock Lighthouse is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, and since May, they have been lighting the beacon to mark this occasion. Normally it is lit only in November to mark the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, so it was exciting to get to see it on our trip in September. We made a few other stops as well, and got some great pictures. Check out the link for Split Rock at http://www.mnhs.org/places/sites/srl/index.htm

I have recently started a part time job again at a local furniture store. I left this job just about 8 years ago, and it was soooo worth it at the time, as I met Joe a few weeks later. It is nice to be back again, working with some old friends.

I have to run. I promise to be better at the posts.

Until next time
