Unofficially ...

I am at a 10 lb loss! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Why unofficially??? Because my loss this week was 1.9lbs ... so a stinkin' .10th is keeping me from my real celebration. A .10th of a lb is like a poop ... I am not a good pooper and couldn't before going to weigh-in this morning ... so I bet that would have made a difference. Ha.

That might gross out some people ... but shoot it's my blog and if I wanna talk about poop, then I will! Poop, poop, poop, poop and more poop. (If I would have pooped that much I might have lost 5 lbs!)

Soooo ... my in-laws are visiting. They got here at about 1:45 this morning and their flight leaves at 9am tomorrow ... so we have only one day with them. As much as I gripe about them, we've had a really nice day.

We went to Children's to get Matthew's new back brace, then ate at my favorite vegetarian restaurant on the planet and then we went to the Denver Aquarium. We had a really fun time. The kids were great ... the weather was awesome ... and now they (my in-laws) are napping.

Caloy and I are sitting on our big comfy chair together watching the NCAA tournament Final Four. Could life be better???

My unofficial 10lbs is awesome. I feel great ... my pants are too loose and I am on my way to being a more healthy mommy. Caloy and I had a "date" last night ... the kids were at church and we went to Subway for dinner ... worked out at the Y (I actually ran more than Caloy did which felt great, he was really proud of me!) ... and we went to Safeway. Can you just feel all the romance??? It was just fun to play together. I love exercising with him. I can't wait till this summer when we can get back into climbing. We want to backpack to Snowmass Lake ... in the Maroon Bells Wilderness near Aspen ... one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. It's a 2-3 day trip ... Man, am I ever rambling today???

Weight loss, poop, in-laws and exercise ... nice. I think I need a nap.

Thank you Lord for this day. For my unofficial 10lb loss ... for my in-laws and their 24 hour visit ... for my husband who is full of encouragement always ... for my children who are playing together right now, I love hearing their little feet running back and forth ... and for the NCAA tournament, GO UCLA.
Amen.
