2005-10-26 Milestone Reached
This morning, when I got on the scale, I reached a milestone. I am now, only 4 pounds away from what I weighed when Michael and I started dating in 1998. And, I'm only 2 pounds away from my official weight goal.

I'm trying to decide what to do about photo albums I want. I recently discovered, thanks to the helpful staff at Recollections, Kolo albums. I would like a couple for storing prints alone and then a few for memory albums (I hate the word "scrapbook" it sounds so mawkish). I already have a Chatterbox album for Ben's baby book and I have a Stampin' Up! album for myself. I need a wedding album and a family album, and a photobox.

I chose my albums, they are all from Kolo. I want the Newport for a family album, the Newbury for our wedding, and the Havana for photo storage. I might get another Catalina, I'll see what happens when I go through Ben's photos this weekend.

Last night, in support of my efforts to lose weight, my husband brought me Maple Nut Goodies. A serving a MNG has 200 calories and 7 grams of fat. Thanks, Pooky Bear.

Aaah! The Pooky Bear strikes again. We will possibly meet his parents for Pho tonight.

We had dinner with Michael's parents last night. Michael and I made a bet that going a mere 200 calories over my daily allotment wouldn't have a detrimental impact on my weight loss milestone. I said it would, he said it wouldn't and bet me a dollar for every tenth of a pound over. I made 6 dollars this morning. That covers the cost of my Friday cappucino.

Today has been a relatively quiet day. I spoke to my Dad. He's on his way to NC for a reunion. Maybe on his way home Wednesday he'll be able to stop and vist Ben at daycare.

Last night at dinner, Michael's parents mentioned getting Ben from daycare on Thursdays and watching him while Michael and I went to dinner. That would be nice.

Weigh-in is tomorrow. I'm hoping I lost a pound.
