a change in plans

We might have to change going to Baltimore/Washington DC... lack of gas money. BUT pol does want to go to the Shaker Village in Kentucky, so I think we will try to do that instead. Much closer!

Kitchen Update

No pictures yet, but the kitchen is almost complete! Still needs a few doors here and there, but for the most part it is complete. I have bolded things we have accomplished!
WAY TO GO POL!!!!!

The Biggest Loser

So I know it's been forever since I've updated this site... BUT... here is the BIG NEWS...
I WAS THE BIGGEST LOSER!
That's right, 14lbs in 14 wks. and now I am enjoying cookies again, so I've probably gained a good 7lbs back.

The big push

Next Monday is the finale. I have 1lb to go for my goal. BUT I am second place currently. I have to maintain my weight and lose another 3 lbs to bring home the big bucks. Now, I don't think the pizza last night is going to have helped. But the grapes today should. I have swore off coke till Monday after weigh in. You probably don't want to be around me this weekend. I weekend with no coke for me is not going to be pretty.

Weight update

down 3 more lbs... down 7lbs all together. 5 more to go!!!

Super Bowl Snacks

The Pizza.
The Cookies.
The Chips.
The Salsa.
The Cider.
The Coke.

The 1.6lb gainage.

Weigh In

We had weigh in this morning. For the second week in a row.. I AM THE BIGGEST LOSER. How do I do it you ask? For the last 31 years my body has enjoyed all the sugary goodness life has to offer. You take that away what you have left is a body in the state of shock. It is eating up all the storage it has in fear that the yumminess may never return. Sadly, I feel as though by next week my body will be used to this lack of dessert life and it will no longer be so easy to shed the lbs. Instead I will have to drag my tired butt out of bed to actually exercise.

Oh how I miss you sweet syrup coke.

The Biggest Loser

A few weeks ago, I got a few of my co-workers to agree to do "the biggest loser" with me. Basically we will weigh in every Monday and then on April 14th, whoever has lost the most weight is THE BIGGEST LOSER! One of the girls participating is a certified personal trainer. She also had a baby 5 weeks after I did, so she wants to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight. This is good for the rest of us because she is a great motivator, she even set up a workout routine for us. I can't say I have been too good at the workout portion. I have attempted to make "healthier" dinners. Basically that means less pizza and beer dinners.

Last week, I was the biggest loser! This week, I highly doubt I will win, I was bad this past week. Oh well.. I am on my way to losing 10lbs!!

Also, the winner at the finale will win $35.... big money! Money motivates.

The List

On New Year's Day Pol and I sat down and created a 101 list. Basically it is 101 things we would like to do or accomplish in the year 2008.

We will update you on how we are doing as the year progresses...

Maybe #1 on the list should have been to get the list written up before 2009.
