Hey sis, just checking in. I haven't heard from you in awhile.
I hope everything is going great, and why wouldn't it be! :lol:

I have off this week to take the kids to school for their first day.
So maybe I will catch up with you sometime!!!

I am doing ok now but I was bad this weekend. :oops:

DH and I went to Lake of the Woods this past weekend with the inlaws. I can honestly say that they are very selfish people. On Friday DH was packing everything for us and getting things ready to go, but they were not ready. 330am saturday the inlaws were still packing while DH loaded the truck. One of the cats gets out of the house and runs under the vehicles and the only way to trick him into capture is by using a laser pointer. He loves to chase a laser pointer. I lock him in the den so he doesn't get loose again. About 445 we pull out of the driveway and are on the way. The father in law is driving and he is scarier than dad when he drives. Around corners I grip on to anything to make sure that I don't fall. :shock:

By 5 am already being driven crazy and thinking why did I agree to this. We arive at Lake of the Woods at about 12 and DH and I are hungry even though we had eaten 3 or 4 packets of food. Maybe it was stress. I don't know. :roll:

We unpack the food and put meat in the crockpot for supper and opt out of fishing. After some depating we deside to be bad. Off the the lodge we go and proceed to eat and drink. The only people in the lodge are the bartender Carol and the owner Drew. Drew is a very handsome man and after talking to him we discover that he is an exmodel. After a while more staff file in and proceed to unwind with some deverages. DH and I shoot pool, play darts and listen to music on the jutbox. Carol and Drew gave me at least 5 dollar to pick out music after liking my first choices. This was the highlight of my day. Just hangin out and having fun. The next day we go fishing and the father in law is driving again. I thought he was scary on the road, but he is worse on the lake. It didn't help much that there was alot of wind and other boat traffic. I caught the first 2 fish and the mother in law caught the last 2 fish. The father in law only listens to his DW about spots to fish. Both DH and I are annoyed at this and the inlaws are being thier usual selfish selves. GRRRRRRRRR. We are so annoyed by thier behavier that we head to the lodge again to get away. We didn't eat anything this time, but did drink and shot pool. It was nice to be away from them. :mrgreen:

On monday we packed up and said good bye to all the friendly staff. I hugged Drew and the other lady in the bar and off we were on the way home in the vehicle with the crazy driver.

Now I am back on plan and was pleasently suprised that I had lost 2 pounds in stead of gaining 2 when I stepped on the scale. All in all it was a great weekend and I would go back to Riverview Resort in a heart beat.

Cograts on the loss. Now just remember to get right back on the plan.
Your doing so good. And I want you to reach your goal.

So we can become the skinny sisters together, and blow the oldest sister away with :shock:

. Or maybe even tell her how to loss a little. :lol:

That would be great. :lol:

I am back on track now and lost 2 more pounds, even though the last week at work has made me want to drink a bottle of wine every day. I am still wishing that I had a low carb/ low cal alcoholic drink. :roll:

Oh well

Great loss and I can understand the wine feeling. There are plenty of low or no carb alcoholic drinks, but I'm not telling you. They would just lower your inhibitions and would be in danger of eating off plan!

It is ok if you don't tell me Biki. I can live without a drink if it means losing weight.

Thats right sis, you don't need it!!

Thank you both for your support.

I seem to only be inching along. I lost 1 pound this week. While a can see the shrinkage I wish it would go faster, especially my breasts. They are currently 10 inches larger than my band.

I want to hit below 200 by this time next month. That would be cool!

akbitty · by **akbitty** » September 21st, 2007, 5:12 am

Well I am down 4 pounds so far this week. :-P

AkBitty - you started only 8 days before me and you have lost 20 pounds more than me so far. I don't call that inching along! LOL. I wish I could "inch" like you do! I think we all want to go faster and are impatient to get the weight off. I can identify about the bust size too! I want mine to shrink and I want them to shrink now!!! LOL. I've got about an 8" difference from my band. Grrrrr! I am pleased with the waist reduction though. Have you seen a large decrease in your waist?

My waist is was the first to lose inches, then the hips/tummy and next breasts. It seems to me after the 1st month my weight loss slowed to 1 or 2 pounds a week. It is slightly frusterating when you lose almost 30lbs in the 1st month.

I can still see the difference. Some of my pants I can slide off without unbuttoning or zipping. I am also jealous of my sister, dmhearts, she is at 90lbs gone. :mrgreen:
