Crazy in Williamsburg!


It's been a whirlwind around here...getting everyone signed up for classes, cars inspected, trying to get a new fridge this week, etc. The fun never ends around here!


Mac has been out of town this week, poor thing got stuck in DC last night and had to crash at a hotel...finally got to his room at 130 this morning and then took an early flight home. He then had to go to work for a conference call and he's totally worn out! =(


I've been busy with Justin, we've been getting his car up to par, as soon as it gets inspected tomorrow he'll be totally legal! WOOOHOOOOOO!!


Meanwhile on the weight loss front, I was stuck at 80 pounds lost until today (one week)...but this morning I got on the scales and saw that I'd lost 2 pounds so I was excited! I was hoping to hit 85 by the end of the month. (fingers crossed) Weight loss may start slowing down, not sure...but next week I'm starting a new exercise plan where I do free weight exercises Mon/Wed/Fri and on Tues/Wed I do an overall work out dvd. Then Mac and I will walk at night 5 nights a week. I'm hoping all of this combined with my new way of eating will keep it coming off. I also picked up a great book called the "6 Day Body Makeover". It's different ways of eating based on your body type. My body type eating plan is exactly what I'm supposed to be eating and the portion sizes are about the same too, so I'm going to start that next week too. There's great recipes in there too, they sound yummy. I'll keep you posted on how that work out next week. Oh, and yesterday I was so excited because I got a big order of goodies from one of my favorite websites, http://www.bariatriceating.com/. This site rocks! I ordered Chili Nacho Cheese Protein Chips (very yummy), Peanut butter packets (honey flavored), Bariatric Vitamins, and a variety pack of flavors of Baked Soy Protein Chips, oh!! and a low carb-sugar free mix to make brownies!!! They have great products for people who've had the surgery. The lady who owns it had the surgery several years ago and she has a book you can buy on there too. She has recipes, vitamins, protein drinks, and various products you can try. It's a great site. If you know anyone who is looking for this type stuff you should tell them to check it out. Love it!!


So that's about it for me. I have picked up a few things to wear because everything is just too big now. I'm down to a regular size 16...not Women's size, Regular! I bought a couple pairs of pants for work and they aren't even tight at all. I also bought some light weight sweat pants to walk in...Mac took my pic.


We're heading up to the big flea market in DC this Sunday, so check back Monday, I'll post some pics. =)
