Update:


In case you haven't noticed, there is an additional child in our family photo. I would like you all to meet the newest member of our family. She is the pretty little 7 year old in the purple dress. "Eloise" now has a little sister. We have decided to call her, "Amelia Bedelia".

Our Latest Discovery....


Since we don't get much any time off
 for vacations,
we pretend like we are tourists
every Saturday.

The Whole Foods market 
where we shop 
has a wonderful massage therapist,
who gives $1/minute massages.
Hubby, Eloise, & I
each get 5 minutes
before we pick up a few groceries.

Another Saturday tradition is 
playing like we are restaurant critics.
Sometimes this can be disappointing,
but not this week.

We found a cute little burger place
that serves locally grown,
grass fed beef.
If you opt for the burger with a bun,
your meal will include
fresh bread from a local bakery.

The above pic was my low-carb
burger(actually on the menu)
dressed with creole tomatoes 
and wrapped in lettuce.
This came with a baked sweet potato.

Hubby and Eloise split a regular
on bun 
with fried onion strings on it.

All Excellent.

This is the only place we've found 
that serves grass fed beef 
in a totally casual environment.

The fans and ice trough in the middle of the table
made eating on the patio a truly
pleasant experience.

Transformation Report....

A couple of posts ago,
I wrote about the changes 
we have made.
I am pleased to announce 
that hubby has lost another 15 lbs.
and I have lost another 3 1/2 lbs
 That brings us to a total of
25 lbs. lost for hubby
&
10 lbs lost for me
(went down 1 skirt size!)

 This is not the fastest way to lose,
but for the most part
(minus my little episode Sun.) 
we are both feeling great.
We eat little bits every couple of hours
and we never feel hungry.

We even allow ourselves little treats.
Once we figure out how to 
squeeze in a little exercise 
and a little more sleep,
we will be well on our way 
to being the fit & healthy family
God created us to be.

P.S. Congratulations to all of my friends who are winning the battle of  the bulge. Y'all are looking great. Keep up the good work.




We will be headed to Camp
at 4:00 am
so I won't be posting for a few days.
Be sure to check next week
for all the details!
