I lost another 6 pounds this week, for a grand total of 38.8 pounds in about 6 1/2 weeks. I'm quite pleased. We all have to write our "stats" on the board like how many shakes we had each week, how many exercise calories burned, how many days in the box, etc. Tonight, since it was week 4 (but remember I did 1 1/2 weeks in the prior class), we had to put our 4 week weight loss. Mine was the second highest and was only 1 pound less than this one guy. That was nice to see!
People are starting to notice and mention it to me, so that's also nice. And here's a great thing - I noticed something tonight that was really positive reinforcement. Most of you would never notice that the seats at some movie theaters are larger than the seats at others. (Generally the newer theaters have larger seats and the ability to raise the arm rests.) Unfortunately I do notice these things because some of our local theaters are downright uncomfortable with the arm rests pressing into my legs. One of these theaters was the one I was going to this evening with a few fellow mom friends from school.
Well, guess what? My butt fits noticeably better into the seats at that theater, which last time was quite uncomfortable. A very nice surprise and made an already excellent movie (The Women) and fun night out with friends even better!
But it gets better yet. When I bought my ticket, the guy at the window said "$5.50." I said "huh? Isn't it $10?" and He said "well, yes, technically it is, but I accidentally pushed the button from the kids price so instead of voiding it, I figured I'd do something nice for you and charge you less." That was nice.
But it gets better yet. After the movie (which, did I mention, was EXCELLENT?), we went next door to Peets Coffee for a hot beverage. I asked the guy working which herbal tea he recommended and he told me his choice. He asked if I wanted it as a tea bag or loose tea, so I asked what he recommended and he told me and I said that would be great. When I tried to pay, he wouldn't take my money he just smiled and said "this one's on me." But when my friends bought their tea, he took their money! Must have been my lucky night. I hope he didn't think I was flirting with him. :)
Anyway, it's midnight and I just got home so I better see what needs attending to in the house. It was a great night out and I'm very pleased with my progress.
We've been enjoying the kids' break and getting some projects done around the house and relaxing.

That is great! What an accomplishment and your attitude is contagious. So the movie was good? I'll have to check it out with my girlfriends.
I'm pretty sure he was flirting! The Rancho back-to-school night was not quite that much fun... :) Enjoy your break!
What a privilege to accompany you on this journey, Barbara! Your perseverance is uplifting and inspiring!
Wow barbara, great job! Sorry I haven't been there to cheer you on but great work. Also, no I didn't send that gift (you are right that we have been a bit self absorbed lately). Hoping to get back to normal soon (now that we have power) and then send over a gift.
You really hit the jackpot! I'm so proud of you for the weight loss!!! I know that isn't easy and requires a lot of discipline. You are doing great!!! Keep up the good work.
Anonymous was me, Donna. Don't know what I did.....
