I am a winner by losing!

So, I am excited to report that I have lost 2 more pounds this week. I am down a total of 14 with 20 more to go by the end of March. I think realistically I will be down about 16 more...but we'll see.

I realize my posts have been all about losing weight because I needed to get my thoughts and successes written down so I can actually succeed. For anyone who needs to lose and wants to eat try the South Beach diet. I am walking proof that it works and for those of you who are members of the LDS church. It is in harmony with the word of wisdom one you hit phase 2 (after 2 weeks) unlike other low carb diets I have tried. I love having nuts, whole grains, fruit, veggies, lean meats, low-fat milk and yogurt, etc.

So...I am about to go to the beach (near Fort Stevens/Astoria) with 2 of my very good friends. I am so excited. We are leaving in about an hour!!! Our husbands are being the good Daddy's that they are and taking care of the kiddos while we are gone until Sunday morning. We are making all of our own meals, reading, watching movies, playing games, laughing, having fun, not being asked the same question 200 thousand times and then just once more to put us over the edge. It is going to be so wonderful. After this week I definitely need a weekend off from Mommy duties. We are staying in a KOA so we'll have a hot tub too. Yippee. Woohoo.

I'll report more when I get back!
