Week 7 Weigh In and Mariners Game

We had a great time with our friends, Chris and Angela at the Mariners game yesterday! Angela's sister gave her tickets to the Terrace Club seats. This meant free parking in the garage attached to the field (so no finding parking on the street five miles away and hiking to the stadium, hoping no one steals your car while you're gone). We were seated in an exclusive area that only people with these tickets can get into. There was a restaurant behind out seats, or we could order from the menus and have the food delivered to us without having to leave our seats at all. We however opted for the cheaper (I use this word loosely) route of leaving the club and going down a level to the regular concession stands. The picture is all of the garlic that was left over after we had eaten the fries! I had never seen so much garlic on the garlic fries before (I still smell like it!) We lost the game, 4-5, but did enjoy some good hitting by Jose Lopez. Better still, we enjoyed the company of our good friends! Thanks Chris and Angela!


A bump in the road; that's how I will describe last weeks weight gain. I didn't post because I was discouraged by it. Thank you to those of you who asked me about it, it so helps to be accountable! This week I have lost the pounds that I gained last week, so now I'm back to where I was the previous week. I'm still at nine pounds down. I feel like I just wasted two weeks of time where I could have lost more! That's discouraging, but I am encouraged that I was able to lose it and that I haven't given up. In the past I would have given up by now. Thank you for all of the encouraging comments, they really do help me so much!

Happy 3 month birthday Anna!!! Already?! Mommy loves you!
