And then I'm not even going to worry about weight for 17 days.
Today we tried to wrap up as many loose ends as possible for vacation. The boys went and got haircuts, (buddy looks incredibly cute w/ his flat top) and we went down the hill to shop for some clothing. We got new socks, I got a skirt and camis, Courtney and Tim got shorts. We walked past the Coach store. Of course I had to go in and dream....
Well, when we walked in the lady at the front handed me a coupon for 30% off everything in the store. Hmmm... Yeah right....like that would make a difference. It was a mad house in there. People were grabbing stuff off the shelves like crazy. I saw a cute bag and when Tim did the calculations, it was going to be under $100. nice! But it wasnt perfect. I saw a lady walk by with a similar, more perfect bag on her arm. That one is better. So I went in search for one similar. Found it, Tim figured it would be just over 100$. But my iPad would still stick out. But it was cute and a good price.
We went round one more time and found aNOTHER bag, same pockets and everything, but twice as big. I was sad. No way would I be paying for that. The tag was for almost $400. Tim got in line and I found someone to check the price for me. When he figured it out, he had a big grin on his face. Under $200 with tax included. I almost cried.
I got in the long line with Tim and waited patiently. When the lady handed me the shopping bag, Tim had a smile on his face. I told him thank you sooooo much!
So I was done buying stuff for myself. Once we got in the car, I took everything out and put it in my new bag.... Everything fits with room to spare! Guess what is going on vacation with me????
It's beautiful... By far THE nicest purse I have ever owned. I've wanted a nice bag for so long and now I finally have it.
For dinner we went to El Torito. I had chicken and beef fajitas. Yes, I allowed myself to eat my sweet corn cake (my fave!)
I came home and slept. Now we are sitting in the loft together watching spongebob squarepants.
More good news, Courtney got into the geography class. So now I need to order her book. Plus the math teacher emailed her a temporary access code to his class so if she can get a spot in there she won't be behind in class work. Ahhhh things are definitely working out for us. I'm so happy.
More tomorrow.....

In the home stretch....Holding steady...
I don't know what happened... But I got really sick on Tuesday. I wanted to die. I started my morning fine, had breakfast with a friend...took the kids home, and then I got hit with a huge wave of nausea. I couldn't stand up, if I even looked at food I wanted to throw up. I made a great dinner earlier in the day and when Tim got home I couldn't stand to serve it. I was hot, I fell asleep, and when I woke up I broke into a deep sweat and then I felt a bit better so we went to the grocery store.
We got home, and I wanted to eat a little,( I had only eaten chicken at breakfast) so I had some baby sweet peppers and jello. My stomach calmed down, and the next morning I had some residual from it, but by the time 2 pm came around I felt better again. It was wierd...
So I'm stalled at the 150 mark... But I'm losing around my hips, butt n thighs because I was able to get on another pair of too small shorts, zip themup and not look like a stuffed sausage in them. So I added them to my vacation pile.
I was also on myfitnesspal.com yesterday...which has been tracking my weight since April. Not only have I lose the 11ish pounds on this diet, I have lost 17 pounds Total! That blew me away! Not to be vain, but I didn't think I had that much to lose. On the flip side, I am extremely proud, so even if I stall out at 150 at the end of this diet,i will be ok. Exercise and a healthy diet can take care of any extra pounds.
So enough about weight (although that consumes a good portion of my day because I am weighing portions and counting calories) my rundown of thepast few days...
It didn't look like Courtney was going to get into any of her classes this semester. But tuesday she came home with some hope, and her persistence is paying off for the math class... She is next on the list to get in. Today's class is a bit tougher, but the instructor wants her in, so we will see.
Softball is going pretty good... Our teams have picked up the pace and we are winning. Thank goodness!
As for the girls, they are coming into the season eager and pretty talented. I think we will have a strong team for sure. I am so proud of all of them, they are busting their butts and the ones that aren't trying as hard will be well acquainted with the bench. I only have 11, which is perfect for subbing and I already have a good idea on how they will rotate. But things can always change!
My sons team is struggling a bit... My son made like 3 errors in a scrimmage last week (which is not really like him, his defense is what they count on ) so today he gets a chance to redeem himself. Looking forward to it, even though I will miss tims game.
