Big Weekend

Well, as things go, this was a pretty big weekend for my 40 by 40.  We were forced to go to Lubbock for the little one's specialist appointment on Thursday.  So, because we were going to be eating road food all day, I weighed one day early so as not to have the water weight from fast food salt throw anything off.  At my Thursday morning weigh-in, I was down 6.8 lbs for the week which puts me at just shy of 15 lbs in the last 2 weeks.  In other words, I have accomplished 12% of my 125 lbs goal.  Not too bad for two weeks in, but the real excitement this week are the things I did accomplish.

Let's start with the biggie.  This year, thanks to the new addition, we got a tax return for the first time.  When I added this to my school paycheck for subbing, I was able to pay off the credit card.  It's done, finished, adios!  Whew!

Also, once we got to Lubbock, we decided that we were too close to a couple of there things on my list to not do those.  So we spontaneously decided to go and take a family day.  So, I can mark "take a spontaneous trip" as completed.

As for where we went, well, let's just show you.



Yes, the Groom cross is completed.  It was a beautiful haven, and I would have spent much more time there, but the weather did not get as warm as they were forecasting and we did not have the clothes to stay out in it.


My other accomplishment:

Yep,  end scene of Castaway!  Long trip.  Long day.  But four down in one day is a pretty good start to this list.
