Ok now that's out of the way...time for some good news!! I am down 6.8 lbs this week!! Yeah!! I am soooo excited because at weigh in this am when I got on the scale it said.... 203.4 lbs! :)

Oh, and I gotta tell ya. We started our own "the biggest loser" contest at work. It's $50 bucks to get in on the action for 13 weeks. There are 9 of us that are doing it and our area manager has committed himself to kicking in $100.00 to the winner so if you do the math...Yep that's $500.00 baby!! Pretty sweet huh? Ummm.... did I say that I was making a couple little "care packages" for some of the nurses at another clinic? LOL....yep gonna send them some CHOCOLATE!! *Wicked Evil Grin......... LMAO.......

Things have been good here, weather is sucking right now because they are calling for rain the next TWO days...ughhhh!! I really can't complain because for the last month its been like 70- 80 degrees and sunny!! I have been totally LOVING it!!! ;-)

Question of the week:
For those of you who subscribe to weight loss magazines such as WW, Healthy Cooking and Eating Light for instance... What do you do with your mags? Do you cut out the recipes you want and throw them away? Do you NOT cut out the recipes and save them all? Give them to friends and family? What? I have them stacking up and I don't want to get rid of them. But I don't want them junking up my house either. Should I go through each one and just cut out the recipes I want and through them away? So what do you do with yours?

Well since it's raining here and that's a recipe for disaster I am going to go hit the mall. Get in some walking, get visually motivated and hopefully find some good deals.
