The Weekend is Here..
This weekend is supposed to be soo so so beautiful so I am really looking forward to it. We already went out today and played in the backyard for about an hour.. we played tag, soccer and some weird form of ball hockey with tiny hockey sticks and a huge ball. Whatever makes the kids happy. Safi is all tired out and is taking a nap now.
Yesterday we went for a super long walk and came home and did some yard work.. played in the back and then I had a dentist appointment. I love going to the dentist and getting my teeth all sparkly clean. After coming back, I had dinner, got the kids ready and we went to my Mom’s place. My Aunt was visiting from Ottawa and she hasn’t seen me since December.
She saw a huge difference in me.. she was going totally nuts. Firstly, my skin is doing so much better.. she was just so happy to see my skin all cleared up.. I think that was the first time she had seen me in a t-shirt in two years! Then she was happy to see the weight loss.. I didn’t really think she would notice.. but she did. In both me and my husband.
He was happy, no one has really said much about his loss, except his brother. I think he looks amazing.. like he’s lost 30 lbs. and it’s funny because he is now at my start weight.. I can’t believe that I used to weigh as much as he does now. He’s 6′4″ so to imagine a tall man weighing what I did, is kind of depressing.. I guess I should be happy that I’ve been trying to keep up with him so I am at least close to maintaining the gap between us. I would show you a picture, but he would kill me.. he is a very private person.
In other news, we had what sounded like a raccoon doing the samba on our roof last night that woke us up at 3am. I couldn’t get back to sleep for another hour at least after that.. so today I’ve been kinda blah.. I am going to try my best to stay on plan this weekend and get in some work outs.. I’m worried because I have two dinners to go to, including one at my Mom’s place. There will be some seriously good food. Luckily she asked me to make salad for tomorrow’s dinner, so I’m making a mint salad with cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, and chola (a Pakistani chickpea salad minus the potatoes). This way I can try the good stuff but fill up on the salads.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

ummm, yum! That salad sounds great! Congrats on your losses and being able to look so good that people notice. Funny, I am wearing some capris and my shirt tucked in *as we speak* which is first time in YEARS on both! Wonder if anyone will notice! lol I understand about your hubbies weight and your start weight. My weight used to be *several decades* above my best male friend’s weight - and HE was overweight! Now, I’m below where he was, AND he has gained. But, I feel for him. Still, it is so good to be getting more and more into my *proper* position. It just can’t be a good thing for a woman to weight more than men! =) Sounds like you are doing so good on both the movement and the food. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, too! Enjoy the family.

I can TOTALLY relate about being your husband’s weight. My husband is 6′3″ (I’m 5′4″) and at my highest weight, he only weighed about 10 lbs more than me… YIKES! Nearly a foot taller and only 10 lbs heavier…. not so good.
Isn’t it nice when others notice your weight loss?? I think you’re doing fantastic! Keep up the good work!
