“I have achieved that goal.” (Props to “baby” Ryan Shawker)
Yes folks, today is the day. I’ve finally achieved my weight loss goal. I officially weigh 155 pounds. I wanted to go down to 150 just for extra good measure but Derek told me it’s time to stop. (he doesn’t like breakable women.) I spent all of my highschool, college and IHOP years at this weight and it’s hard to believe I’m finally there. GOD BLESS SLIM FAST! (go to www.slim-fast.com )
I know this might sound silly to you but I actually got hit on at the grocery store on Monday and my head was so inflated, I almost didn’t fit through the bread aisle. I weighed in at 196 after I had the baby and have officially lost 41 pounds. I probably could’ve done it faster if I’d actually exercised every day. Funny thing is, I lost more weight with Slim Fast (and light minimal exercise) than I did with daily Tae Bo. (although Billy Blanks was a blast)
Even better: I can fit into my skinny pants again! WOOT! The coolest part is that the slimfast website taught me how to keep it off and loads of information on how to stay healthy. (yes I’ll send them a thank you letter)
In news *not* related to me, Caitlyn is getting in her third tooth!! It’s her upper left tooth and it’s only taken 4 months to do so. (I was afraid she’d have to gum down jello for the rest of her life.) It’s barely peeking through so once it grows a little more I’ll take pictures. Also, we got Caity her first “big girl” dresser. It’s a tall 5 drawer dresser in dark wood and is most definitely *NOT* the tupperware bins we’d been using up until now. (tacky, I know. I’m just a cheapo.)
For the next few weeks Derek will be going to leadership classes to become a supervisor so I actually get to have him home in the evenins. Plus, I’ll be starting my child care classes on March 15th so I can do home care child sitting. It’s an extra 500 bucks a month per child. I really only want one, maybe two kids around for Caitlyn’s interaction. I’m really not that interested in the cash but it’ll be a nice bonus. Since it’s only during the week day mornings, I’ll have evenings to myself and weekends for the inlaws.
Love to you all!
