Weight Loss Report Card

Eating Veggies with Lunch and Dinner: A+
Exercise: A
Enough Sleep: B-
Snacking at set times: B+

Current Weight: 129.6!!!
Weight lost this week: 1.4 pounds

If I could do a cartwheel right now, I would, because this is the lowest I've been since before Claire! I've told a few of you that I am NOT dieting to lose weight, instead I'm trying to improve my eating and establish better habits. So far, it's been working, and it's helping me to not worry or feel so guilty when I do have a bad day. One thing I struggle with is mindless snacking while I'm reading or watching TV, so this week my goal is to not eat anywhere but at the table.

Quiet Time

I didn't notice until tonight that Darren had stuck one of Claire's
pull -ups on each of his fan blades! So that's why he was being so quiet during quiet time!

A Proposal

I have a proposal for anyone who wants in on the weight-loss challenge! A couple of us have set a goal to be finished by July 1st. I think it would be really fun at that point to celebrate our losses with a girls weekend of shopping and pampering. Anyone who felt like they had met their goal, or at least made huge improvement could come. Since we all live in different places, I'm not sure yet where we'd meet, but we can work out the details later. Let me know if you're interested! Thanks so much for all your comments and participation, I don't know where I would have gotten the motivation without you guys! By the way, I didn't lose any weight this weekend, but I didn't gain any either. My goal is to eat more vegetables at each meal. Have a great week!

And by the way, thanks to this great site for my new blog layout: www.matiekay.blogspot.com check it out!

Happy Easter!

Ft. Worth Fave's

It's hard to believe we've been in Ft. Worth for a year! Here are some fun things we've discovered:


Texas Rangers Baseball


The Ft. Worth Symphony! We bought tickets for the pops series this season which included this big band swing group, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy,

and one of my favorite singers, Wynona Judd!

Some yummy places to eat . . .


and our neighborhood pools - we're counting the days until they're open again!

Little Friends

Today I hosted the New Mommy Group at my house and we had a potluck lunch. Miles and his cute little friend Natalie held hands throughout most of lunch, until Miles noticed Natalie's roll and swiped it off of her tray! Thanks for the yummy food, ladies! We had a great time!

Snow in Texas!

Poor Frosty suffered a bit of identity crisis, being new to the area and all, but we sure had a fun time!

Claire's Cute Haircut!

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's

We visited my parents this weekend to celebrate my brother Paul's and Darren's birthdays, and to see my mom perform in an opera. It had been almost 2 1/2 months since we last visited, and we all had a great time! Miles had fun outside in his walker, and Darren and Claire played hard, indoors and out.
