Down 2 more

Baby steps.....
2 more pounds gone, hopefully for good this time.
Started the day off right by packing the kids in the bike trailer and riding to the weigh in. It's only .25-.5 mile down the road but it still felt good. I normally walk but since I had to take the kids with me the bike seemed more fun than pulling a wagon down the road.
They were rewarded for being so well behaved with a nice sprinkled donut from dunkin donuts. They really are good kids most days.....they just drive me nuts sometimes that is all.

I've Been Tagged....

By Nancy.

I am supposed to post 7 random facts about myself. Then I am supposed to tag 7 people.
Here they are:
1-I've lived in 4 different states.
2- My middle fingers are crooked.
3- I don't leave the house without my coupons.
4- I brush my teeth in the shower.
5- I can make an awesome veggie lasagna!
6-I was born on my great grandmothers birthday.
7- I like to sneak a cigarette now and then.

I would tag 7 people if I had 7 seven people to tag :)

Ok Day.

This is what it looks like when I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

2 more pounds

God, I forgot how agonizing it was to get weighed every week. BUT, when you know SOMETHING was lost it is worth it. The thing I have always loved about weight watchers was you can eat your normal food, just reasonable portions. I know some people still go to everything fat free but I just can't do that. I still eat Pizza and drink beer, Just in moderation. It works, and I will continue to lose as long as I am accountable for my own actions. The first time I did weight watchers I was vegetarian except for dairy and seafood, and the program was so easy. Seemed like most things I ate worked well with the program-I was just eating too much of it before. Now I do eat more junk so I am trying to change habits. But anyway I am down 2 more pounds making a total of 5.5 pounds since starting weight watchers so my goal of 10 pounds by the end of July is well within my reach!

Our Anniversary

Ok, so I am a day early but we have a TON of stuff going on tomorrow so I just wanted to post about us. Mike and I finally tied the knot on June 21, 2002 after being together since 1995. I've never had the typical fairy princess wedding dreams. Just wasn't me. I didn't want a performance, marriage was about 2 people coming together to show their love for one another. So we went to Myrtle Beach, SC and met up with our folks. Did the tourist thing for a day or two and went to the beach and got hitched! It was short and sweet. Afterwards we went to the house of Blues with our parents for lunch then we were off.
We drove up to Charlotte, NC to Dixies Tavern, I think it was an Oyster Festival. Anyway, I had contacted Paul Sanchez from Cowboy Mouth and told him we would be at the show, and that we were getting married that day. He would know who we were, I had made up a couple corney shirts-mine said I GOT MARRIED TODAY, and Mike's said ME TOO. So we drank TONS...too much really, and the band sang AMORE for us then we met them afterwards.
In true Fred form these are the lovely photos we got that night:

Not your typical wedding nite photos!
At any rate, we enjoyed our wedding. I was about 30 pounds lighter and felt great. 2 Kids and laziness gets you fat! But here it is 5 years later, and we are happy now and have a family. We have grown and are enjoying life. I love Mike and he Loves me-most days. I can be pretty bitchy and hard to deal with but he has managed to do it for 12 years!
So anyway, just thought I'd share our day from 5 years ago.....
I realize that there are 2 posts involving Cowboy Mouth close together, but just happened to be we saw them close to our anniversary.
