MAJOR MILESTONE!

I'm pretty psyched...I hit a major milestone in my weight loss yesterday...I'm finally under 300 pounds! It was a great feeling of accomplishment to see the scale go below that and know that it will NEVER EVER go above that again. I now weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with jacob and Michela! I lost 3.4 yesterday for a grand total of 66. In 14 weeks. Still averaging about 4.7 pounds a week, which is quite good. I've been back to the gym three times since last thursday's class and talk with my educator and the doctor, so i'm back in that regular routine. I'm going to try to go mondays, wednesdays and fridays. It eats up half my day (I work out for about 1 1/2 hrs, but with the driving there, parking, walking in, waiting for machines, chit chatting w/people I know, it's about 2 or 2 1/2 hrs!). But it's an important priority.

Not much else is new here. I'm trying desperately to make head way on my growing list of things to do. Marlon is in New York. We wanted to take the whole family and go, but the timing wasn't right for school. We'll go next time. He'll be gone thru Sunday (left yesterday.)

I did my hotel negotiations for the Bar Mitzvah weekend a couple of days ago and was pleased to see that I haven't lost my touch! I talked one of them down from $179/night to $99/night! In fact, I talked ALL of them down to $99/night. Now we just need to make a choice, which is difficult.

I'll keep this post short and I'll do another one later today or tomorrow with Kids Konnection articles -- I want to give you a chance to read this one first!

I'm hoping to get a lot done with pictures on the computer, too while Marlon is gone!!
