Moving Right Along...

September 11th... Such a sad day in the history of the US... Many prayers for all who lost a loved one.

And on that happy note... I did lose 3 pounds this week after faultering for a few weeks. I am now down 15 pounds, which makes me pretty happy! I still have a long and difficult road ahead, though.

Devon and I went to see his pediatrician this afternoon. He is a GREAT doctor who is relocating to Tennessee from here in Massachusetts. I simply adore this man. He truly is one of the great physicians in the world. A great loss to my area, a great gain for Nashville, TN. We brought him a small RedSox magnetic pad of paper. I told him I hoped he'd put it on his filing cabinet in his new office and think of us whenever he looked at it/used it.

Weight Watchers

Woohoo...

I started on July 31st and an all-time high (which means I had gained almost 60 pounds in the past two years, but let's not think about that!) Here I am two weeks in and things are going well.

As of today I am down 13.2 pounds. Yeah, I am well on my way. I still have a ton of weight to lose, but I am feeling good about Weight Watchers, and myself, too. I believe this is a plan I can stick with. I believe I will be successful! I believe I can follow this for the long haul.

Yeah, me!

Rain, rain, go away...

It's raining here, again! Tonight is supposed to be Beverly's Homecoming fireworks... ugh... how frustrating. Devon and I are crawling the walls waiting for it to be time to go to Lynch Park, and now it seems we will not be going after all. It has been a long day.

In other news, Devon bought himself an MP3 player at Toys R Us this afternoon... it is just a cheapy, but perfect for an 8-year-old boy. He is proud of himself, and of course has loaded Soulja Boy and a few of his other favorite songs onto it already.

I have not done well with being "On Program" (Weight Watchers, I mean) today... ah well, tomorrow's another day.

Vacation?

I was off work this past week, and planned all types of activities for Devon and I to do.... Well, that didn't really pan out, primarily due to the fact that it rained just about every day. We have had more thunderstorms this week that I ever remember. We still had a great week together, though. I completely LOVE my job, of course, but it is so nice to have a whole week with only ONE small person to be responsible for.

We did finally get out on Uncle Ryan's boat - which was a lot of fun. We made it back to shore just as the Thunderstorm du Jour started.
