Losing weight....

In March the employees where I work took up the Biggest Loser challenge. So far I have lost 13 lbs!! Total Company pounds lost=191!! I've been trying to keep it at a steady rate. I am looking at this as a life style change not a diet. I'm feeling stronger and my confidence in myself and abilities is soaring!

It's amazing what you're capable of when you look at things with a "CAN DO" attitude! I've learned from last year that I have to look at the big picture! If not, I will gain all the weight back and add more to what I lost. Last year I lost 16 lbs. I gained that and 5 back.

I joined the YMCA and have been using their "Technogym"...awesome! I can't wait to go! WoooWHooooo!

Meet Petunia

Thursday the dh and I went to a car dealership and purchased an Aveo 5 (Chevy). I am in love! sigh....

It's a small 4 door w/ a hatchback. It looks small from the outside but it doesn't feel small when you're in it. The dh actually gets claustophobic in little tin cans but he was fine in the Aveo. I got a stick cause I love the control it gives you. With a 42 mile round trip 5 days a week, I really need a car that's good on gas and this one gets 35mpg.

We'll see how good she does. I've named her Petunia after my "inner princess". It's her reward for not spending money we needed for the down payment! I guess you could say it's my way of reminding myself that saving money brings good things to us...me and that little child inside that I used to let boss me around. I know that anyone reading this will think I've finally slipped 'round the bend, but hey...if it works who am I to mess with it! ROFLMAO
