Seeing more results.....

This past Friday I went for my 2nd weigh in. Since my first weigh in which was on March 7th, I have lost a total of 2.25 inches and 4.40 pounds. Also lost 2.71 body fat pounds.

.25 inches in my bust
.25 inches in my abdomen
.75 inches in my waist
1 inch in my thighs
1 % in body fat

Tomorrow I will be starting my 12th week of salads for lunch. I didn't think I would last this long but surprisingly this has been pretty easy. With seeing more results after eating better it makes it easier. I have been doing really good in drinking the amount of water your suppose to have a day. I have been going to the gym at least 3 days a week, trying to go at least 4. I will keep you posted on hopefully more success.

Rascal Flatts Concert

Well last Thursday, Greg and I went to the Rascal Flatts concert and we had a blast. This was an early birthday present to myself. We couldn't have had any better seats. This is the first time I believe that Rascal Flatts came to Sacramento, the last 2 years I have seen them in Tahoe. Taylor Swift was the opening act and she did an excellent job too. I couldn't believe how packed the arena was. The concert was good like always and we both had a great time. Here are a few upclose pictures that I took and a video from one of there performances.

Easter Pics

It's been a while since I posted a blog, just been so busy with work the last few weeks. I wanted to post a few pictures from Easter. We had a good time coloring eggs and Brandon had fun on his egg hunt. I didn't think that he wanted to have one this year but he was ready and set to go. Our cats enjoyed it too........

Starting to see results.....

A little over a month ago I joined Curves and yesterday I went in for my first weigh in. For your first weigh in you have to wait until you have had 24 workouts. Here are my results:

I lost 0.80 lbs and 3.25 inches.

.75 inches in my bust
.50 inches in my abdomen
1 inch in my waist
1 inch in my arms

I just finished my 5 week of salads for lunch. So far I'm not burned out, will see how many more weeks I can keep this up. I have been working out 4-5 times a week and eating alot better. No more fast food, which is a huge plus. Check back next month to see hopefully more progress. My goal is lose 40 pounds, I'm hoping to lose that by summer.

Our New TV

Here is a pic of our new but used TV. Chris sold us his 53" projection screen TV. We love it, it makes our living room look alot smaller. Now I don't have a problem seeing the tv from the dining table, usually the dining chairs or cushions from the couch are in the way. Now it doesn't matter because the TV is so big that I can see over it. The TV is as tall as I am. Anyway here are a few pics.

Christmas Eve and Day

Well Christmas Eve turned out well. Bachi came to stay with us from Sunday before Christmas Eve until Thursday. It was nice to have her help for the party. We had one thing go wrong while preparing for the party. She was making yams using the pyrex dish on the stove and it exploded into pieces. It was a good thing that Greg was home to help here because he said that she was so startled when it happened. Brandon and I were out doing errands. I was definetly tired once the night ended. But everyone had a great time and surprisingly in a smaller house it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. There was 12 of us (me, Greg, Brandon, my parents, Auntie Gail, Jill, Bachi, Auntie Lorraine and Uncle Ron, and 2 more including Sparkles and Sweets. Our dinner turned out great, we had a 18lb prime rib that was delicious. We had all the fixings to go with it. Jill brought an apple pie and she made a chocolate pudding pie with cool whip and raspberries. They both were a big hit. I made cranberry-orange biscotti that turned out good too. It was more work then I had anticipated but it tasted really good so it was worth it. After dinner we all opened our gifts and everyone got some really nice stuff. Brandon got the Wii from my parents. Greg bought me a TomTom (GPS), I was so EXCITED. The night before I was guessing what my gift was and I thought he got me an alarm clock so that's what I was expecting when I opened it. Greg got alot of really nice shirts and jacket. I got him a few shirts and a ottoman set that he likes.

Christmas Day, we got up early and Greg and Brandon opened up there santa gifts. There was one gift for the 3 of us, which was Wii games so that was cool. Greg got a Peet's gift card and Brandon got some tech decks (mini skateboards), dvd and magic trick stuff. Later that morning I made fried rice. Jill and Chris came over and we had lots of fried rice to eat. It was delicious, especially with the left over prime rib. After that Brandon, Greg, Jill and Chris went to see the "Golden Compass", they said that movie was good but had a terrible ending. They think there going to have a sequel. I stayed home and took Bachi to see a relative. Once they got home they were playing with the pogo stick outside, that was hilarious. After Christmas Day ended I was pretty exhausted by the last few days to prepare for the party and getting things done but it was all worth it.

Halloween

So this year Brandon decided to dress up for Halloween, he was a devil. Sparkles even got scared when she saw him with his mask on. When I dressed up she got scared when I had my witches hat on also. Brandon and I carved our pumpkins and we had a fun time doing it. I carved a dolphin on my pumpkin and Brandon made a funny face. We had about 60 trick-or-treaters this year, I wasn't sure how many we would have since were in a new neighborhood. It was a good thing that I bought enough candy. Brandon passed out candy again this year and he gave the kids candy based on there costume, if they had a good costume he gave them 3-5 pieces of candy if they had an ok costume then he only gave them 2 pieces. The first 2 girls that came were so adorable I think this was there first time, one was Belle from Beauty and the Beast and the other was Ariel from Little Mermaid. They had the full costume which included the wig and makeup. They were only about 3 or 4 years old. They were to shy to say Trick or Treat but they did say thank you. It was so cute. I took down my Halloween decorations today, I was sad since my decorations were really good this year. I put up a few fall decorations, christmas will be exciting I have a few good ideas.
