Happy Saturday, everyone.  What a week!  Seriously - I am so glad that we have made it to Saturday.  The market officially opened yesterday and now that we know that operations are working we are in the process of pushing our marketing into full swing.  I spent the morning leaving flyers on the doors of all of our neighbors and then will begin working on our emailing campaign.  The paper has already contacted Zane for an article, and we need to decide if we are going to place ads and when.  Whew!  This is exciting, exhausting, and scary - but from what I understand normal for new businesses.  :)

Today was my first weigh - in at Weight Watchers.  I have had a pretty good week - I worked out every day but Thursday and my eating was pretty good.  It needs to be tightened up a bit - but I was tracking the things I put in my mouth and actually trying to eat balanced meals so I still feel like I did a good job.  I lost 1.8 lbs.  AND my period is about to start so I could possibly see more of a loss than normal next week when I am not retaining water.  So it has started and I am on the slope down.  It is going to be a long road - but at least I have started down the road and that alone brings me peace.

Support is the key to success for me and I know I couldn’t do this without the two women doing this with me.  SO very glad to have them along.  

I am off to get cleaned up and go to Walmart.  Then I will drop back by the store and then come home and work on emails.  And laundry.  

My parents are coming for a surprise visit (surprise for my husband) to see the shop - so that will be nice.  They live about 3 hours from our house so it will be great to show them the finished product.

I am hoping that all of you had a great week too and a nice weekend planned.  Want to read through some of your posts and offer some support as well!
