Snow Day Monday...70's Today:)

Last Saturday at my weigh in I lost 1.5 pounds. I was pretty pleased since I did not go to the gym at all that week.

Later that day, Mom and I went shopping and I had a blast. Mom is going to Chicago to visit Cindy and Brad and while there she will be attending a taping of the Oprah Show. She has been saying for months how she needs new clothes. Well...not any more. I picked her up at 11 am and we did not get home until 9 pm. Of course not all of the time was spent shopping. We managed to eat lunch at Ruby Tuesday's (they have the most awesome salad bar), visit with friends, and finished the evening off with grocery shopping.

I had a blast picking out outfits for my mom to try on. She stayed in the dressing room and I would just keep filling the dressing room with outfits.

Let me tell you - If the camera happens to span the audience, my mom will be the best dressed woman in the audience. At least the best dressed woman named Joyce from Waldorf Maryland:)

That evening, I cried myself to sleep as my legs were aching so terribly. The next morning I could hardly walk. It was a great relief we were snowed in on Monday as it gave me one more day to recuperate.

This week was a busy one for me, with end of the month close out at work, and working Bingo Tuesday and Thursday nights. So of course I did not make it to the gym this week either.

I lost 1/2 pound this week and this brings my total weight loss to 13 pounds. I am happy to be on this journey and am ready for the long haul.
