TQI Last Week

My tracking of points via the weight watchers app paid off, as I lost 3 lbs. last weeks. Finally got off the schneid. Katie achieved a milestone of 50 lbs. lost!  So proud of her!

A Lovely Mother's Day

My kids. They are my everything. 

Pia treated me to a beautiful hanging basket (always the perfect gift for moms) and a cute new coffee cup. Cara vacuumed the basement and folded a load of my laundry. Katie and Tony invited me to tag along on their golf outing. I didn't realize that I would be walking for four hours (and my knees are paying the Iron Price today), but it was a beautiful day and lots of fun to watch the duffers in action

Then they let me take an afternoon nap while they did more yard work, and cooked a delicious dinner. 

I couldn't have asked for a nicer day!

Snuggle Bugs

Colie and Cara winding up a long day. This is a rare treat -- this gal is not a snuggler.

TQI Last Week

I've been at more or less the same weight for a month now.  Boo.  So I am counting points with the Weight Watchers app this week.  Hopefully that will get me off the schneid.  Though as Cara pointed out, we don't HAVE anything good or fattening to eat around here, so we should all be losing like crazy.

Katie and Tony are homing in on 50 lbs. lost, and Cara had a nice 2 lb. loss last week.  We are talking about rewarding ourselves when we get to goal weights with a trip to somewhere nice -- Hawaii hopefully.  We will all be able to go to the beach without being mistaken for belugas!

Happy Birthday Katie!

Pia:  Hey, isn't it Katie's birthday today?

Little Tony: Yep, May 4th is the big day.  

Cara: Katie, how old are you now?

Katie: none of your beeswax.

Happy birthday to my baby girl!

Bloomsday Hero!

Our Athlete turned in a respectable time for his first 12k in years.  And was able to text me during the race too.
