Wow! What a week this has been! Soooooo very glad it is over.

I haven't mentioned it before (I don't think-if I did sorry) but Alpha Male and myself signed up for a weightloss program through our work for the next 10 weeks. It is called York County Shrinkdown. Really anyone in York County can participate, but through our work we get extra incentives if we do certain things. Things like go to lectures and exercise. They assign points for each activity and at the end you get you name in a drawing for $100 and other cool prizes if you have enough points. The actual county program also has contest too. Winning stuff and getting healthy is cool dudes! Each Friday you go to the local Y and they weigh you. Simple enough. I think I'll call my Friday weight loss posts.....Freakin'Friday.

Well, when I weighed in at the beginning last week I was 271 (OUCH!).
Today when I weighed in...................................................... 267.

FOUR POUNDS PEOPLE! (and that was WITH Aunt Flo too!)

And that was just from watching what I have been eating and walking 1 mile two of those days. Just think what I could do if I actually tried. YEA ME!!! But I know that it won't be that easy every week. I.must.work.harder. But I was so excited. I am seriously thinking about joining the Y (no member fee this month and no contract). However, my work has a workout room that I can use for free so I am considering just using that to save money.

Tonight AM and I did a Walk Away The Pounds. We walked 2 miles in 30 minutes. Man, I am tired now. haha In a little while I think I might shower and watch Step Up. I am all for the mindless teenage drivel.

Last night Drama Queen wanted Maw-maw and Pop-pop to come over so we let her call them while we were eating. She did the funniest thing. For some reason, she thinks that people can see her through the cell phone. So she proceeds to hold her meat from the hamburger helper (I know- so healthy) up to the screen of the phone and says" See Maw-maw I am eating my burger!". AM and I thought we would die we were laughing so hard. And she was dead serious too.

Tonight we through DQ's diddy's (aka pacifiers) away. I know she is 3, but she was still taking them at night. She hasn't had one at day care in over a year, but I just couldn't deal with the whining. AM and I had all that we could take. Over the last several days she has been whining and crying for it incessantly all day and night long. So, it was time for them to go. We bagged them up and made her throw them all (5 - gasp!) in the trash. She cried for a little while when we first put her to bed, but so far so good. Of course I jsut jinxed myself by typing this though. I have a feeling its going to be a long weekend :(

I called Bart's new owner this afternoon. I just had to know how things were going. She absolutely loves him. He now sleeps in the bed with her and has free reign of the house during the day while she is gone. She says he doesn't mess in the house while she is gone, but he won't go potty for her outside. I am sure that it is just a phase and he will be fine. But she said other than that he is such a sweetheart. I am glad to know that I found someone that could love him and take great care of him. Now if I can just talk AM into letting me get a cat :grin:.

Alright, I typed a novel. I need to take a shower. I may have a glass of wine before bed. Make myself so relaxed that I pass out :) Sounds like heaven.

G'night everyone!
