Good Sunday evening everyone!

I had an incredibly busy day today and am just amazed at how quickly today flew by.  Of course, I did nap on the sofa until nearly 11 this morning - I have just been so sleepy - which may be why the day seemed to be a bit shorter.  

After I woke up and got cleaned up I headed out to get something to drink - I was craving a diet coke with a splash of real coke - which can be found at any local convenience store fountain.  From there I headed to PetCo for litter, a new toy for Caesar, and some dog cookies (they look like cookies!) for the dogs.  (I also had a nice chat with my mother who is coming for a visit next week - yea!).  Once I got home (and the boys had their treat and Caesar received his toy) my husband wanted us to make a trip to Lowe’s. 

Once we finally returned I was ready for some lunch - leftover chili with cheese, soda crackers, and fat free sour cream that I had been heating up in the crock pot - and then some down time. 

THEN…it was time for Zumba again.  :) The class today was just as full - a different teacher this time though and the music and moves were changed up a bit.  The new teacher was even smaller and blond - and although she was a great dancer her personality was a little quieter than yesterday’s teacher.  Still a great class and it has just reaffirmed that I need to be at the Y.  It reaffirms that with classes I can get where I want to go and have fun doing it.  I can lose this weight!

Which brings me to a new goal.  My brother has finally set his wedding date - July 11.  That means I have a little less than 4 months to lose approx. 20 lbs.  I want to be at if not under 164 by the wedding.  It is doable.  I think.  I will continue going to classes - probably about 5 times a week - and will continue on with my Weight Watchers and counting points.  I can do it!

Tonight I had grape nuts, with a little sugar and fat free milk and a whole wheat english muffin with fat free cream cheese and honey.  I should have thrown a banana in there but I was feeling a bit lazy.  Tomorrow morning I will add the banana to my morning bowl of cereal.  

Before dinner we cleaned out the flower beds in the front of our house and planted a crepe myrtle that a neighbor down the street gave to us today.  If it transplanted well it should be lovely as the blooms with be purple and will look great against our red brick.  

I am trying to finish up some laundry and get ready for tomorrow.  I am going to a water class tomorrow morning at 5:45.  Uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh getting into my suit, but I know that I need to just do it.  It will be good and will add variation to my workout.  I am not sure if I will take Tuesday off or just walk the dogs that day (yes!) and then Wednesday will be another Zumba class!  I haven’t decided if I want to a body sculpting class on Thursday or more water classes to end the week.  The body sculpting class is one I enjoyed and will probably be a good addition.  Funny - I saw the teacher of that class at both the Zumba classes - :)

Anyhow - need to put in another wash.  I am craving something tonight - but don’t know what.  Probably good that it is nearly time for bed.  I could get away with an Edy’s Fruit bar (although I did have a half a cup of ice cream for dessert) if that will keep me out of the kitchen.  

Hope everyone is looking forward to a good start to the work week - I have a LOT to do and will probably have some late nights - but I am hopeful that it is productive, that we make some headway on the market and that next weekend comes quickly - my momma is coming to town!
