wuzz up!

Well, another week came and went, I lost another 2lbs on my weight watchers deal. So for those of you keeping score, I have lost a total of 21lbs since the 1st of the year. Tell me that's not motivation! I'm looking forward to this weeks results. I've slacked off on the actuall work-out part, but i've been splitting firewood, I went to the park with Sophie today, and I'll spend tomorrow under the van working on putting on a new bumper and seatbelt, and maybe some more wood splitting, who knows. Anyways, the point is I'm becoming more active. Thats a very good thing.

Thanks for responding to my question lynn! I'm pretty much in the same mindset. If I go, it will probably also be sans spouse. That kind of thing is really not Caryl's cup of tea. Jen Talley was telling me that there were more people at the mixer than at the actual reunion. We'll have to see I guess. Any thoughts Scotty, and Bushhouse? If nothing else, it might just be an excusse for us older kids to get together for an evening and make fun of the fat bald people ;~)

Tonight I plan on making the trek to Swansea, IL to see my brother's name in lights! I'm going to go with my friend Robert and his family.

I found this great coffee shop in St Peters next to St Chas Community College. The coffee's alright but the atmosphere is outstanding. I took a few pictures so ladies pass them on to your hubbys and such. I'm sure they'll appreciate 'em. This place is called Java Girls. Their slogan is "we put the hot in coffee!" I know, I'm horrible, but I am a sucker for a gimmick!
Well, that's about it from me for now. Later peeps!

drum roll please....

Well the results are in and on my 1st week of weight watchers I lost another 3lbs. Woohoo!!! So thats a total of 19lbs since January 1st. I'm so excited. The thing that gets me through, I think, is that I told myself that this was not a diet. This is a lifestyle change. This is how its going to be, forever. Not just to loose 50lbs then be done with it.
So, I hear everybody got together on Sunday for brunch. I'm sorry I wasnt able to make it... I got a later start out of the house than I thought and while i was headed into the city, the party was still a little out of the way. I hope everybody had a good time, though. I haven't had a chance to check your blogs yet, but I'm sure someone wrote about what happened. I just wanted to say thanks to Jen for getting you hubby to give me a call. It really meant a lot to me to be invited. I really wish I would have gotten to see Sam before he leaves again. Hey Susan, if you read this maybe you could have him drop me a line just to say whats up. No biggy though, I know he's got a lot on his plate being a new dad and all!
Anyways, that's about it on my front. I'm blogging right now instead of writting my Lit essay which is due tomorrow. I am the king of procrastination. Well, I better jet. Later peeps!
