Thanksgiving

Well, these are all the photos I could get Elliott to take on Thanksgiving and my favorite is the one under the table because I think thats where he likes it best when 6 unfamiliar people come to your house and try to talk to you and you just don't know how to respond. 

Kitchen Remodel

Well, the minor kitchen remodel is pretty much complete.  Brian just has to fix a small issue, paint the 1/4 round moulding and add some moulding/baseboard under the cabinets.   I still want concrete counter tops but I told Brian no more remodeling projects till next fall.  We also still need to finish the trim painting on the exterior paint, collect and plant natives in the front yard.  I look forward to posting these pictures when they are complete.  I tried to find some before pictures of the kitchen but I couldn't find them.  Oh well. 

Weigh in WEEK 1

So I'll call today day 1 of weight loss. I've been on hiatus since Brian's surgery but game is back on.

Weight today 168 lb

In 8 weeks, I will lose 6 lbs.

That will be January 7

I will post my daily intake boring, I know, but it helps me.

Depressing

Time to get back on the weight loss wagon again. I have deeply fallen off. I gained about 7 lbs back. It is time to get back on track.
My ultimate goal continues to be 140 lb.
I am currently about 168 lbs.
I continue to ride my bike 18 miles 3-4x/week.
I want to run more. I need to drink more water and less coffee. I need to eat more whole grains and veggies. You know the usual. Oh yeah, less ice cream would be a really good idea too. I will probably post what I am eating daily again to keep myself on track.

I just reviewed my past blog entries and realized that I am where I started less than one year after starting this weight loss blog :() This is very sad news :(

I can, I will, I believe, I can do it again and be better.

Construction Zone

This is what happens when both parents are busy with deconstruction. Macey used Elliott's Pirate facepaint unattended. Cute, huh?
