SO I've been participating in the Biggest Loser at the school. The pot is up to $1300 (I think that was the new total) and it will go to whoever loses the biggest percentage when we weigh in on the final day of competition in May. My goal is to get down to my fighting weight in college (OK, so that might be a little ambitious), I would be happy with my weight before I had Sarah-Grace - or even my weight 3 months into my pregnancy with Sarah-Grace!! Time will tell, in any case I am going to start blogging about this since I think will help keep me accountable. SO far I've lost 4.91% (and yes it was neccesaary for me to add the 1 at the end because I earned it)!
This week was the first week I started going to the gym. I actually "ran" a mile on the elliptical in 8 minutes yesterday. I know for many of you veterans this does count - but hey, this is the only time I've ever even RAN a mile - let alone in 8 minutes. I think this was the only time I ever ran for more than 2 minutes when I wasn't working and in a mad frenzy to get some where. Granted I thought I was going to throw up and pass out when I was done. In total I ran 4.25 miles in 38.33 minutes yesterday. I couldn't move last night. Literally my "back fat" as I like to call it (some people call them rear love handles) is still aching today. I don't exactly know how when I run I worked out the fat in my back (I say fat because I don't believe there are muscles back there) so either I'm doing something wrong and running like Napoleon Dynamite on the elliptical or this is normal when running. Either way I'm not too fond of my back fat and I think pain means it might being getting whipped into shape!! Walking was extremely painful - especially after I had been sitting for a while last night. Watching me walk must be a sight and Tad was generous enough not to comment on it!

Fierce
It's 12:30 on Thursday and I am very happy to report that myself and the girls are STILL in our PJ's. The girl's have a winter break at school (did I mention I LOVE their school) until Tuesday and today's agenda was to do NOTHING!! We may go to the mall later, but they have so enjoyed staying in their PJ's and playing in Sarah-Grace's room for the past 4 hours!! The past week has been great!
Last Thursday we went to Savannah to visit Tad's great Aunt Marceline (and Harriet and Joe). We stayed at the Westin on Hutchinson Island and our room overlooked the river and River Street. The girl's had so much fun staying in a hotel. Charlotte is extremely frightened of heights and when we first took her out on the balcony to watch the ships she latched on for dear life to me and demanded to be brought back in. It took her a few hours, first she would only go out if we held her and stood in the doorway, then she would let us step out onto the balcony but only if we squatted below the rail holding her, then she would stand in the doorway by herself (but she had to be touching the glass or door frame) and then she finally would sit on the balcony with Sarah-Grace. They got to have room service for the first time, ride a ferry back and forth from the hotel and River Street and we ate breakfast at Huey's and ate beignets! It was really nice and the girls got to spend time with Tad before he started his new job.
Tad stated his new job yesterday and he's very happy - soon the dream team from Melita will FINALLY be back together. They are so excited (seriously they are like school kids), they have been trying to work together again since they split. I hope Kennesaw is worth it! His new company was rated by the NY Times as one of the best small business places to work and it already shows. He's pretty much addicted to his iphone (like I didn't expect him to be). I think they put crack in those things.
Tori's wedding is coming along well. I think she's decided on a dress and possibly the bride's maids dresses and possibly a color. Her engagement pictures were incredible, one because Tori (like her sister) is the most amazingly photogenic person EVER and two because Anna took them!!
The Project Runway Finale was last night and I was SO excited when I saw Christian WIN!! I am seriously addicted to this show. I loved the finale but hate that it's over and I have to wait another year or so before it's back. But, Christian winning did ease the blow! I don't know what I love more, his clothes or his personality!
Well, I think that is all for now. I might actually have some time to blog over the next few days. Possibly even upload some photos!
