Wardrobe Redux

  Yesterday was a terrific day! I took Katie shopping for some new clothes. All of her jeans are sagging in a most unflattering way and her shirts are so loose she could hide her backpack under them. Katie has lost 48 pounds and 3 jeans sizes! She was so excited to get some new things and to be able to shop in the Juniors department. We didn't stock up a whole new wardrobe, because she is planning on losing more weight and summer will be here soon. But she got 2 new dresses, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 new leggings and 2 shirts. Now she can clean a few things out of her wardrobe and look forward to shopping for summer clothes in a couple of months. For those of you not familiar with our fabulous Pacific Northwest calendar, summer is approximately 8 weeks long through July and August. So we have plenty of time before the warm weather sets in!

This counts as exercise, doesn't it?

 

Post-Lent and Week 10 Wrap-Up

 

Happy Easter from Katie, Annie, Angela and the Easter Bunnies

  Well dear friends, Lent is over, Easter is passed and we are at the end of week 10. So much has happened this week! There have definitely been some highs and lows, not only in our weight fluctuations but also in other trials and challenges. 
  Our 10,000 steps a day Lenten challenge is over. Jeff never missed a single day. He walked in place while he voiced colorful opinions about his computer's performance (or lack of), he subjected himself to long walks with me that at times were like attempting to walk a surly, distracted chihuahua without a leash or treats to keep it under control and he walked 6 miles in a downpour of liquid sunshine to help our friend Tom renovate his new restaurant. Jeff finished #2 on the Jawbone UP team behind only Amy, whom I assume hasn't sat down for the entire 40 days of Lent! She is amazing and inspirational. I'm gonna beat her steps next month-wait and see!
