Only 2 pounds this week...and I am perfectly okay with that. Slow and steady and all that. I am learning how to cook meals in a quicker amount of time...love 30 Minute Meals on Food Network. It isn't always low fat but there are lots of ways to modify the recipes and I am out of the kitchen in less than 30 minutes...who could ask for more?? I am drinking more water, and that is a hard thing for me to do. I am also feeling better. Had a monster of a cold this last week. It felt like flu...but with no fever.

Work is going okay. The cold that affected me has hit my class as well and I had very low attendance this last week. The kids are ahead of the lesson plan in that they are almost all reading, including most of my 4 y/o's.

My daughter is going to winter formal and WOW, has winter formal changed. Used to be just prom had the limos and flowers and gourmet dinners. Not anymore. We are headed to a bridal shop to pick up her dress this weekend. It's a Jessica McLintock and they are the only one who carries that brand in town. Her BF and his friends have engaged a limo, his mom is cooking up a fancy dinner for 8, including Creme Brulee and he has asked what color her dress will be for flowers. Add pictures into the mix, his tuxedo etc and this night is upwards of $800+. She will begetting a job after school ends.

Here is my lil reminder for the week. I'm giving myself til the end of April to lose the other 25 pounds. Maybe when I get my butt moving, the weight will come off a lil easier. ;o)
