Lookin' Good

Well...we are looking pretty good....don't you think? In this picture we were ready for Caitlyn's 13th Birthday Party at Ruby Tuesday's. She had a wonderful party. We did good with getting a salad bar and some chicken white bean chili that is pretty tasty. We had literally one bite of an ice cream cake...ohh...and I did spoil myself with a mojito. :)

So...if you are wondering...last week was water weight I'm guessing...because I lost 6 1/2 lbs this week. YEAH for me! Ned did awesome once again for another 3 lbs. He is so consistent. Grand totals..........31 1/2 for me, and 37 1/2 for Ned. We are doing so AWESOME!

Next weekend we, as in Ned and I, are heading to the beach for the weekend. It will be nice to relax together for 3 days. :) Ohh...but we will still be exercising.....walking on the beach or around the neighborhood...and we will of course be eating right.

I find it interesting that I can now take the girls into Cold Stone and order them something and NOT walk out with my own "Gotta Have It" ice cream concoction. Just another lifestyle change to add to the list. :)

Wrong Way & the Right Way

Down 3 and up 2 1/2. One in the right direction....one in the wrong direction. And sadly enough...I'm the one in the wrong direction. :( I was very disappointed. Especially because it was not something that I had expected. I didn't have one treat all week...and I worked out 4 days. Hmmm. I don't know...maybe just some water retention...but still disappointing.

But on the brighter side...Ned lost 3 lbs. Yeah for him. He's up to .... 34 1/2. He is awesome! Often he states that he is feeling so much better and that he can do so much more than he could before we started.

And even on a brighter side...we had a wonderful Easter weekend. Saturday we went out to Robert's house, who is Ned's brother, for an Easter Egg Hunt. I met all but one of his siblings. Everyone was very nice to me and they all made me feel comfortable. :) Thank you Fenimore's. Then on Sunday we went to Natalie and Jason's for a brunch and easter egg hunt. We really had a fun weekend. :)

This weekend is Caitlyn's 13th Birthday. We have a sleepover planned. We do plan to exercise still. And we are going to Ruby Tuesdays on Sunday for dinner with the family. We'll keep on going.

New clothes for Ned :)

And the numbers just keep climbing. As in the pounds of weight lost! Another 2 for Ned, and 2 1/2 for me. Yeah for us!!! Still on track. Which for me...is really amazing. This is the longest I've kept at it, and I can thank Ned for that. It is so wonderful having someone encourage you every step of the way because they are on the same road as you.

Recently we have had a lot of fun shopping. Ned purchased some new stuff this weekend. He got some new shirts...and a couple pairs of jeans. He looks GREAT in them :) It sure is nice to fit into a size or two smaller. It's an amazing feeling. We just keep looking better and better. I can see that our pocketbooks might be getting smaller too. hehehehe.

We're still getting through challenges of eating out...but we are making good choices. McMenamins has an amazing salad, there's always Panda Express, we do baked chicken a lot, along with taco's, and some occasional steak. We do have some big things ahead...with an Easter Egg Hunt with Ned's family with lots of desserts...and it's March...with still 2 birthdays to go. Wish us luck.

New clothes for me :)

Another good week as far as exercise goes. We got in 5 days this week...one of those included the Greenway again...all 6 miles of it. Needless to say, we were pretty sore. However, Saturday after walking we went to the mall to look around. I decided to try on an outfit in "Torrid" and found a cute little number that I was down a size in. I was thrilled...and Ned thought I looked so great in it, that he bought it for me along with another shirt. I certainly was spoiled. (I have to admit, I absolutely loved it!)

As for the weight loss...Ned is down another pound, and myself another 3. That is 30 total for him, and 25 for me. 55 lbs together. That is like an entire Sara.lol

We have been on track for a full 2 months now...and we've done so well at keeping at it...that we have had very good results. :) We are happy....and we will keep on...keepin on. Here's a picture of the hot outfit Ned bought for me, with us 55lbs lighter. (Mind you...Ned could not wear those pants 2 months ago...and I would not have fit in my outfit either) YEAH for us :)

Great weekend

We not only had a great week....but another great weekend. We keep getting over another hurdle all the time. This weekend we went to see the movie "The Other Boleyn Girl". We saw it at Cinetopia...the best theater ever. :) We got to sit in comfy leather seats that rocked and had extra leg room. We were both good...we didn't buy any popcorn...but rather bought 2 bottled waters. Can you say lifestyle change :) We then went out to dinner with my Mom and Ron to Applebees. We both enjoyed a low-cal dinner, myself a shrimp and spinach salad, and Ned a steak off their Weight Watchers menu....ohhh...and I also had a glass of Merlot...yummy. :)

Today we worked out...grocery shopped...and cleaned up the house. We stopped at Safeway to pick up prescriptions, and they had free cholesterol and blood pressure screening. Ned's cholesterol is an amazing 107....YES total 107. WOWZERS!!!! Mine was 199, but I've never had mine checked....who knows what it was before I started losing weight.

Oh....did I forget to mention that we weighed in........drum roll please....\/ \/ \/ \/ Ned lost another 4 lbs geeeeez, and I lost another 3. Grand total for me....22, and Ned...29. YES that is right we have lost a total of 51lbs. YES...that's right! 51 lbs lighter in this household :)

We are THRILLED.
