weigh in

Well, this was an interesting week. I took Kenny to the airport on Wednesday and dropped him off which made me uber sad. But that's ok. He'll be back! -After I dropped him off, I went to my girlfriend's house near the airport and stayed with her for a few days. It was definitely needed by both of us. She is one of the greatest friend's I've ever had and I'm lucky to have her. We acted like kids and played the whole time I was there. We laughed and joked and WORKED OUT!!!!! I think I practially killed her with all the working out we did! ;) We did the "Slim in 6" videos about 3 times a day while I was there, swam, worked out, rode 4 wheelers, ran around with the dogs and belly laughed until we couldn't laugh any more. Everytime it was time to do a video was like "I don't think I can work out again, and I always said "if I can do it, so can you!!!" I'm not gonna lie, it was super hard but we did it! I was saying all week "this week I'm gonna lose 5. I want to lose 5." --I was trying to prove to myself that I still could do it. 5.5 months into this, I had a mission and I needed to show myself it can still be done with a lot of hard work!! and......... I LOST MY FIVE POUNDS! :D It was hard but I did it and I plan on continuing and losing every week. I probably won't have 5 pounds weeks all the time but I don't want to get a zero or gain at all during this 5 month challenge. If I can just lose at LEAST a pound every week, I'll be making a lot of headway. I have lost a total of 77 pounds since Jan 1st.

Mike and Danielle stayed the same which is really great. Danielle had such a HUGE week last week that that is to be expected at her size. At least that is my thoughts on it. They are looking awesome and I can't wait till I start looking like Danielle! :) --Betsy missed our weigh in this week and we were all very disappointed. She overslept at her mom's house apparently and didn't take her scale with her so she couldn't weigh in on her normal scale. But, we talked to her and she's back in the game. And, I'm pretty sure she won't let that happen again! lol However she is now officially in size MEDIUM which kicks MAYJOR ass!!!! I cannot wait to see her again and not recognize her!

That is all,
Court
