Challenge Check In/Easter Wrap Up

Let's get this part over with first... This time I used an actual measuring tape that I got at Wal*Mart the other day for like a dollar.

Bust: 28.5"

Sucked in Waist: 25"

Let it out Waist: 27"

Hips: 32"

I don't know my weight right now... We don't own a scale.

DH got to stay home on Easter, which I was very happy about. We went to a great church service, came home and had lunch. I made herb-marinated pork tenderloin, broiled asparagus, and garlic dill mashed potatoes and we also had cheesy rolls from The Mixing Bowl (I'd have linked you to their website, but it's not working anymore or they don't have one anymore). After that, we took an almost 4 mile walk around the neighborhood and to Food Lion, where we bought the unthinkable. SODA. Oops. The rest of the day was spent watching HGTV and cleaning up our bedroom while watching The Jungle Book (the Disney version).

DH will probably have to work late for quarter close these next two nights, so I am all alone. I'm thinking about making a trip to Williamsburg to find myself a white purse, but I don't know yet. Right now, I am watching If Walls Could Talk. It's such an interesting show. It's official. I'm addicted to HGTV. It makes me REEEEEEALLY want a house. It doesn't help that I found one online that both DH and I would LOVE to have. We are so sick of renting this townhouse.

Well, DH wants me to go out and get him some Cadbury Eggs, hoping they are on sale after Easter. Luckily, I hate Cadbury Eggs. To me, they are gah-ross. I'd better hop on that soon. :-) Have a great day!

Burn Notice Challenge

A nestie buddy and I (and maybe others!) have committed to be accountable in our eating and working out. I really need this to get some extra motivation to drop the extra pounds left over from my terrible habits over the past months... okay year. :-)

And now... without further adieu... my body measurements (ish... I used a tie and a ruler because I don't have measuring tape. I'll invest in some soon.)

Bust: 27.5

Waist (sucked in): 24.5
Waist (not sucked in): 28

Hips: 32.5

What I'm most concerned about is the big difference between my waist measurements... That's 3.5 inches of extra stuff floating around my stomach. Stuff that shouldn't be there. Of course, my stomach has always been my trouble spot. Part of me is glad that I never took my measurements at my heaviest point (almost 150 pounds my sophomore year of H.S.), but the other part of me wishes I could see the difference now; I think it would be encouraging.

Today is going to be a fun day. I'm supposed to run 6 miles, but I don't know when I am going to be able to do it... I slept in, which means if I ran as soon as possible, it'd be really hot outside, but we have a play to go tonight that is starring three of our kids in the youth group, so I can't run super late. I'll figure something out. :-)

Have a great day!!
