Since I last blogged about my weight loss, I managed to lose a few more pounds, for a total of 12 pounds since I started. Then the girls turned one, we had a birthday party, and Costco cake took over the fridge/freezer and my stomach. We finally ate it all and I started to get back on track, only to enter the Easter season with my annual tribute to the heavenly confection known as the Cadbury Easter Creme Egg. I love those things! I eat tons of 'em every spring and the last few weeks has been no exception. At 150 calories, they really are an ok indulgence now and then. But when you eat the whole box (4) in a day, not so much. Sigh. Anyway, today I have turned over a new leaf and hope to get back on track. I only have 5 pounds to go to get to my wedding weight, which I was hoping to accomplish by our anniversary on May 13th but could realistically do much sooner. That is assuming I still only have 5 to go which is unlikely. I'm sure I've gained a couple pounds since the girls' birthday. I'm too scared to get on the scale, though, so I'm not sure. But even if I have there's still time to reach my goal if I can get motivated again, soon.
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
