Weigh-in Wednesday and Phone Dump

button



I'm a day late with this but here it is.  For the first time in 2 years I have been able to lose more than 5 pounds without gaining it back.  Finally.  I'm down 2.2 this week, putting my total loss at exactly 7 pounds.  SEVEN.  Whoo-hoo!  My goal for April was to lose at least 5, so yay.  Now my goal for May is to lose 5.  But really I just need to concentrate on breaking the cycle and not gaining back what I've already lost.  I'm still feeling really motivated so that's good.

In other news, we've had some crazy weather around here lately.  A week ago it was 70ish and the girls were running around in swimsuits, then Tuesday we woke up to snow.  Just a tiny bit that was gone by 10 or 11 AM, but it was 40 something all day.  Then yesterday it warmed back up to the low 60s and we're headed toward 80 by Sunday.  Might have to break out the pool.

And since it seems I haven't posted other than WIW lately, here's some recent phone pics.

Yellow Jacket nest on our fence.  Has since been removed, but we have 4 more way up high on the eaves of our house that we can't get to.

Our cat might have caught a bird.  Not sure if she ate it or if it got away.

Luther Burbank Park

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.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

Goofy Girls

Throughout the year I've caught the girls doing cute/funny/silly/downright weird stuff and snapped a picture with the intent to blog it but never got around to it.  So here's a sample of some of the things they've been up to in the last several months. Animal parade...or something? Olivia with head through swimsuit bottoms School for their animals.  Coloring books for school books.
