Weigh In #1

Well, I had my first weigh in yesterday since I've been on WW for a week. I was a little worried, but I have lost 3 pounds so far! I was pretty happy with that. It was hard not to get on the scales during the week, but I made it. Now to make it to next Tuesday.... I hope to see another 3 gone by then! I've backslid a couple of times, but I haven't been using all of my extra points for the week, so I figured it almost evens out. Going to the gym tonight- M,W,F schedule. Didn't get to go this past Monday night, because Mr. Paranoia caught a softball in the mouth and my hubby met him at the office and cut out part of the inside of his lip and sent him to the ER. He does have a jaw injury and although I know it must hurt I can't seem to help making fun of him anyway! I'm determined to make it to the gym tonight. Now that I've seen some progress it has motivated me. Anyway- the house is coming along really fast. I have to have my paint colors picked out by this weekend. I still have a few to choose, but I am feeling a little burned out on it right now, so I'll get to it later. B and I will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary this Friday, so I'm saving all of my extra WW points for dinner that night! Can't believe we've been married that long. It just doesn't seem like it's been 10 years. We weren't supposed to get each other anything because of the house, but I found a bag and a wrapped gift that I am assuming is a watch (since that's what the bag said...) in B's truck. He was there when I found it , so he is aware that I know. So, I went out and bought him something I've always wanted to get him and I'll just have to save that for another post since I never know when he will check this. I got him a skydiving trip for his birthday, and he could not be more excited. (Yes, he is crazy.) He is going to do that soon and cannot wait. The company I bought the skydiving trip from described it as follows : "He will watch a video on procedure and safety. Then he will go up in the plane with the instructor. When they get to between 10,000 and 14,000 feet, he will strap himself to the instructor and they will jump out. He will freefall at about 60 mph for about 60 seconds, and then will float the rest of the way down for about 7-8 minutes." I was laughing so hard by the end of the description that the man started laughing, too. After calling our insurance company to make sure we were covered if anything "bad" were to happen, I ordered it for him. I paid extra for a video to be made of his experience so I can laugh some more later. Hey, he wants to do it, so who am I to stop his dream?? ;0) My description would include more things like "after they pry your white-knuckled fingers from the door of the building and force you onto a plane, they will sedate you with a powerful drug and drag you across the plane and strap you to an instructor with something made of steel that you cannot get out of. Then after knocking you unconscious because of the fighting, the instructor will jump from the plane , taking your limp body out with him." I don't even think I could make the drive down there to do it. I would have a heart attack on the way there. Mr. Paranoia is supposed to be going with him- that is if he is healed and mobile by then. Well- off to cook some chicken and dumplings (of which I'll be able to eat about 1/2 a cup....)
