Updates

  • I worked 50+ hours this week - for those of you who know my job, that's a LOT.  I was there every morning by 8, I even stayed 'til 8 pm one night.  I guess I've got to make up for all my 30-hour weeks sometime, eh?
  • I get to fly to LA next week for a court deposition with one of my girls.  What do you recommend I do each night as I am by myself with no car?  I'm sort of excited to bring a lot of books, and hope they have a treadmill.  How far is the Sherman Oaks Marriot Courtyard from the temple?  Anyone?
  • My final weigh-in for Biggest Loser at work was this morning.  16 total pounds lost - that's 11.1% of my body weight.  Final weight:  127.5, a feat not accomplished since 1997.  For those of you who think I'm looking a little anorexic, I sort of agree.  At times I scare myself as a skinny old lady in the mirror.  SO!  Never fear.  Some of that weight is on its way back.  In the last hour since weigh-in I've eaten:  A coke.  A bag of peanut M&M's.  A handful of cinnamon bears.  Ruffles & French Onion dip.  
  • Road trip to Baker, Oregon this weekend - I love family togetherness.  My Dad coined it best - being together is like watching "The Family Channel - ALL family, ALL the time."  Hahaha... pictures to come from that no doubt.  Kendall Mally & I get to be kids again.
  • Adrie's obsession this week is Mulan.  Her other obsession is singing "Mine" - the gold-digger's song from Pocahontas.  I don't even know the words and still she begs for it every night for all three bedtime songs.  And have I mentioned that at least 4-5 times a day she'll finger her hair and say "It's all clean mom.  My hair's all clean."  (in the hopes I won't decide she needs a bath.)  That kid of mine.  She's great.

16 POUNDS?? Whew! I'm impressed for two reasons:
1. Because I would never think your body had that much to lose.
and
2. Because I have been trying to lose a mere 5 pounds for like 2 months with little success.
Wow!
P.S. I love Adrie's song obsession. Adrie updates are always so funny. :)

I have family who lives in Baker Oregon! I have only been there once but it's really pretty. Way to go on your biggest looser challenge, that is very commendable!!

Hope you had fun in Baker! Mallory's pictures on facebook made me really want to get together with everyone!

And that is NUTS about your weight loss! I totally echo what Jenny said. You'll have to tell us how you did it!

Wow, congratulations on your weight loss! Please share your secrets. :) I love how Adrie tries to talk her way out of taking a bath. Have you tried giving her a shower? Ian loves showers more than baths now - and I enjoy not having to bend over the tub. :)
