Too Little Too Late

Well- the results are in and Brian won the weight loss competition. I am just sick about it! He let me know by taping up pictures all around the house of his feet on the scales, showing his weight. I told him that his ugly toes are the last thing I want to see first thing in the morning!! I am just ill because I have worked my hiney off and he just stopped drinking tea and cut back slightly on portions. But, we knew it wasn't really a fair bet to begin with, and I took it, so I guess it is my own fault! I have lost 7.5 lbs and I am fitting nicely into shorts/pants that were really tight on me a few months ago. I am going to continue my exercise/diet plan until I am back to where I would like to be. I feel so much better even though it is only 7.5 lbs. I do think that I probably did not do myself any favors by doing weights/strength training at the gym. I think I may have added some muscle weight, but I am going to be a woman and accept the loss. Brian did say (in the beginning) that since it wasn't a fair competition, he was going to see how I actually looked and then judge who won, but I sure have not heard any of that talk since he made it to 10 pounds! That was just to get my hopes up. Oh, well- at least we leave for our cruise Saturday and I am sure looking forward to that. Brian and I have not packed the first thing- but I do have the girls squared away. I am taking some advice from Pikes Pickles and I have bought little presents for the girls to open each night while we are gone. (Nothing big- pretty much raided the $1.00 spot at Target.) I would normally not do that, but Annelise is having such a hard time with us leaving her for a week. She has really been acting out. Tonight we are going to Gatti-Town and they are really excited about that. We will have the whole day with them tommorrow and then we'll take them to my parents house tommorrow evening. Then (early) Saturday morning we will be off! I know I'll be missing the girls like crazy by the end of the week, but boy this is going to be nice. I bet it will be one of the fastest weeks of the year! Well- gotta go finish labeling the cabinets and drawers for my aunt and cousin. No need for them to go all over looking for something when I can just label it!
