I got unbelievable news this week when I had my first appointment with my nutritionist since before Christmas this week – and I lost 10 pounds! That brings me to a total of 13! I am not dieting but I have made some pretty significant changes in my eating & lifestyle. I am also participating in an informal accountability group with two other women at church; we share our struggles and accomplishments and pray for one another. I know this in and of itself helps to make a major difference, as does increasing my activity level. Going from nothing to even two 15 minute stints on the treadmill has definitely helped.

Whoo hoo!

Grrr.

On another note, tonight was my dear friend TomLaRom’s 30th birthday. It was great to see everyone and I was so glad to see he was surprised. His wife Keri did a GREAT job of preparing and scheduling everything. It was a great night.

Earlier in the day, I kicked off the birthmonth celebrations wtih lunch with my friend, Sheri. It was great to sit and talk and debate the topics of the day…from scientology to politics to war to books.

Good day!
