I've got 19 more days until our next weigh-in. OH MY ~ I just realized there are only 3 weeks till the next weigh-in this time instead of 4. I best get busy if I'm going to reach 50lbs. I've got 8lbs to lose in 3 weeks. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want to get to 50lbs. MUST DRINK MORE WATER, MUST EXERCISE MORE, MUST MOVE MORE, MUST EAT PROPERLY! It would be so cool to actually win! I will be excited for whoever wins, but I really want to win too! I suppose I better work HARDER!!!!

Below are some pictures of the family at Cagle's Dairy a few weeks ago. We had a really good time doing the corn maze. Barry and I challenged the kids and we sent them in ahead of us and we beat them by about 5 minutes. It was a lot of fun!

Week - 21 - Saturday - Silly Girls

5 more weeks to go. Can you belive it has almost been 6 months? I can't ! ! ! I've had a good week and a good day today.

Barry got up early and rode 30 miles this morning and got home right before it was time to watch soccer. He really is enjoying his bike and his legs are really looking good! Back off ladies ~ he's mine!

Devin had his first soccer game today and he scored the only goal on his team! GO DEVIN. It was a lot of fun watching him play this year. He has really improved and he did not want it to end. He kept saying he wanted to play more.

Emily has Payton and Jada over tonight and their plans were to sleep in the tent in the backyard. They went outside about 9:10pm and were back in the house about 10:00. They said they got spooked. They lasted longer than I thought they would. Girls are so silly! Hungry too. They just came downstairs and asked for donuts. Of course the answer was no! They settled on a piece of cheese. Yes I know, how boring.

Raven and Sadie enjoyed us being home today too. They followed me all over the house as I was cleaning up. My puppies are so sweeeet!

Since I am rambling I'm going to head on to bed. Good Night!

Week 21 - Monday - GO ME! GO ME! GO ME!

Well, I finally made it to 40lbs! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 and I actually was able to wear an XL in regular people clothes! I was really surprised. I was looking for something to work out in because my sweats are beginning to hang a little too much. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my pants and that would be very bad and my short sleeved t-shirts are more like 3/4 length sleeved t-shirts. It is a good problem to have, but an expensive one too. I don't want to spend more than I have to quite yet.

We had a great time this weekend doing nothing. We tried to go to Helen, but at the last minute and was unable to find a hotel for us and the dogs. Oh well! We did go to Cagle's Dairy and do the corn field Maze. The kids really enjoyed it. Barry and I beat the kids by about 10 minutes (they had 5 minutes head start and we finished 5 minutes before them) and that was not so cool to them, but they got over it! I enjoyed singing "We are the Champions" to Devin.

But of course they got me back and ordered desert at lunch and I was only allowed 1 bite. It was really good too! Don't worry ~ they asked permission first and I was cool with it! Some days are easier than others!

Week - 20 - Friday - 6 weeks to go

Can you guys believe that I have been at this for 4.5 months? Does not seem like it and yet it does. I've only got 6 more weeks till the final weigh-in. Then it only gets harder because then I do not have the contest to keep me on track! But somehow if I know all these folks who are reading this they are not going to let me go backwards. I have no more excuses and I've shown ya'll I can really do this! WHAT WAS I THINKING????? Just teasing. It feels good to lose weight and I am going to keep it up. I have a dress that I wore right after I got married as well as my wedding dress and it sure would be cool if I could put those on again. My kids are not going to know what to think because they have never known a skinny mommy. As a matter of fact I'm not sure I know the skinny mommy. This should be a lot of fun discovering what kind of mom I will feel like being now. Watch out world, here we come.
