Weight Update, My Bday, and Other Stuff

So yesterday I weighed in (at home of course). I am now at 388. OMG! That means I've lost 28 lbs total since starting WW. I lost another 2 lbs last week! I'm so excited!

So I had a great weekend! Friday night, we were supposed to go out for my birthday, but my kid sister, Lisa, had to babysit. So we waited until Saturday night to go out! WOW! We went to Applebee's to eat! I love it because they have Weight Watchers stuff on the menu! So I didn't have to really think about what I was eating! I just enjoyed it! It was awesome!

Sunday, my parents too me out to eat for my birthday because they didn't go Saturday night with us! We went to a local place for lunch, Mr. C's. I had grilled chicken. It was really good!

I was supposed to go SHOPPING yesterday, but....my mother made other plans, so she couldn't go with me. I have to have something to wear to a special church service on Sunday night (next week) so I have to go this week to get something! I have a Ladies' meeting at church. Tomorrow night we have Girl Scouts. Wednesday night I have class. Thursday night Chasity has dance and I have Praise and Worship practice at church. So....Friday night is shopping night I guess. Saturday I have Girl Scout Cookie Booths to work! We sold 114 boxes of cookies this weekend.... I am looking forward to next weekend!

If this week wasn't busy enough, I'm doing all of this on a sprained ankle! Friday night after Chasity had gone to sleep, Tony went upstairs to play a game on the computer. I was watching CSI:Maimi reruns (but they are GREAT anyways!!!) on the couch. I must have fallen asleep because a little after midnight I woke up and was going to go get in the bed. I stood up; I turned the corner to go tell Tony that I was going to bed. My left foot/ankle twisted completely backward and my entire body fell on it! I put ice on it for 10 minutes before I even looked at it. I was scared it was broken! I slept with it on 3 pillows, but it was still swollen to the size of a smallish cantaloupe Saturday morning. Then yesterday I had to wear a dress to church and my Sunday shoes wedged themselves into my left foot. (I might still have an indention there!) So now my foot is ONLY the size of a softball! It hurts like crazy to walk on it, but I don't have much choice at the moment!!

Maybe next year for my birthday I'll give myself something a little less painful. As for right now, I'm on pain medicine and keeping my foot up as much as possible!



Until next time........

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
