Still not too much going on at the Brenner house. It has been so hot we are kind of in survival mode. The weather has been so strange. Yesterday I looked outside and it was totally cloudy but 102 degrees. There was also no breeze which for our area is totally not normal.
Today we are going grocery shopping. I have a love/hate relationship with the market. I love to shop but on a diet it is not nearly as much fun. When you are on a diet you tend to stick with 3 areas, veggies, meats, and dairy. No processed anything so I can skip most of the middle isles. I am also doing a Walmart trip. I love walmart but always find about 50 things I don't need but buy anyways.
Shawn's company is having an employee weekend in a few weeks that I am really excited about. The company is putting all the employees in a hotel and then planned activities for the weekend. It gives us a chance to catch up and meet the employees from the other state which always ends up being fun. Shawn and I also get a chance to leave the kids behind for quality time with adult which we never do. It ahould be alot of fun. We may enev go golfing which I am still learning but think it would be neat to have an activity that Shawn and I can share.
Shawn has decided to join me in the weight loss efforts. He has been saying for a few weeks. that he wanted to start a diet but he officially has. He is doing a weight watchers form of a diet and has lost 4 pounds so far. He gets going and he stays on track. Tonight he is taking some costumers out to dinner so I am sure he won't be too careful tonight but he will be back strong tomorrow.
I weighed in this morning at 188.0 so my total weight lost is 28.6 pounds. I am trying to get that darn 30 pound gift that has been staring at me for the last few weeks out of it's wrapper. Wish me luck.
