Saturday Again?

Saturday Again? Really? Where does the time go? I'm doing my best to make more time to blog and keep up with my blog friends. Some days just zoom by in the blink of an eye. The kids are occupied with lunch and Elmo so I'm squeezing in a little blog time.

It was another successful week in the world of weight loss. I had one day of about 400 extra, mindless calories and one day of exercise rest. When it came time for my Friday morning weigh in the scale was DOWN another 3.4 pounds. The holiday weight is not yet all gone, but I'm closing in on it!

My husband has thrown himself 100% into the weight loss journey and I couldn't be prouder of him! He's been to the gym every day (sometimes a scheduling nightmare for us) and is counting his calories. He's lost 10 pounds in just under 2 weeks! 7 the first week and 3 the second. I know he was hoping for more since he changed his lifestyle so dramatically, but I'm doing my best to help him understand this is a journey and he's not on a game show. I think he's also eating too few calories. His trainer and I have both attempted to explain this to him. He'll figure it out in time. I'm just continuing to be positive and encouraging.

Today I took my first Zumba class. Oh my. I sweated. laughed and had a blast. However I felt like a major klutz! It's going to take some practice! The gym is trying to get it off the ground as a Saturday group class...I hope it's successful because I want to do more!

For dinner tonight we are going to Applebee's to try out their under 550 calorie menu. We are celebrating Carlton's Family Day! Four years ago today we were in Guatemala city and our lives were completely changed when our son was placed in our arms. He was 6 months old at the time.

Well, kids are done and hubby is home so my little bit of blog time is coming to an end.

I have a massage scheduled this afternoon...ahhhhhh....
