A night away

It has been a wonderful weekend.  On Friday we surprisingly got a night at the Hilton at the ball park in St. Louis.   It was wonderful though everything fell into place.  My mom was able to eTch the boys on short notice.   I drive to St. Louis by myself.
We had a great room with a great view.

Things are looking up, Weight is going down!!

I made it through.  I have been stuck at/around 165 for almost a month.  But I am now going down again

 <em>244</em>

My official weigh in was yesterday, and i was 162.2.  Last week I was like 163.2.   I am a daily weigh in person so today I weighed again, and i was 161.2.  

I am so happy to be losing again.  I was trying my best  not  get to discouraged, but I was starting to worry.  I think I had hit not just a platue but also had hit the point where I wasn't making as good as decisions as I was in the past.  I don't know that I really changed my decisions to much (I had two servings of  candy corn yesterday).  The only thing I can say that I have changed is I am drinking more water.  I have always drank 8 glasses, but now I am striving for more like 10 cups (which is about half my weight in ounces.)   But even that doesn't happen every day.

I am so happy I didn't give UP.  I am ecstatic to be so close to my short term goal of 160 lbs.   I will be even more ecstatic to change my goal to 155, and to be bellow 150.  I feel re-energized, and like I can conquer the world, or at least my weight. 


So now just to see what this week brings.


so if you are where I was at, just hang in there, it will pass.  Keep working at making good decisions, and eventually it will pay off!!!

Knitting

  A few years ago I decided that I needed to know how to Crochet, mainly because I didn't want to spend money on cute hats when I figured I could make them myself.    So while looking at all these cute crochet projects, I am also seeing cute Knitting ones.  So now I decided I need to know how to knit too.

I started yesterday, I thought it was hard at least at first.  I am still trying to get the hang of it.  I am itching though to do a small project.
