This morning the scale said 158.6!

It helps that my daughter is graduating next week and we've been getting the house together for all the company.  We have rearranged a few rooms and cleaned out a lot of what we had in storage.  It's time to purge!

What's not helping is allergies.  It is helping the weight loss but what a horrible way to do it.  I get so congested by the evening that I can barely eat anything for dinner.  I try, get a few bites in and then have to quit.  Not fun!  I bought some dissolvable allergy tablets so I'll give that a try and see if it helps.  I sure hope so!

Wow!  Just can't believe that I've dropped into the 150's.  When I first set my weight loss goal of 145 I picked it because it was the top weight for being "normal".  I thought it was wishful thinking to make it to 145 though.  124 pounds is a lot to lose, But hey!  If things keep going like they are, there might come a day when I actually do see 145 on the scale.  I remain very mindful of the protien requirements and always eat protien first, but I'm not actively trying to lose more weight.  If it happens, it happens and I can't believe it's happening because lately I've indulged in a bit of chocolate cake and a few peanut butter oreos.  Yummy!

On a side note, only one more week of school for Kristyna............then graduation!!!!  I'm so excited for her!  We have a lot of family coming in for it and I can't wait to see them all.  Especially since my sister moved to North Dakota, I miss her. 

Kristyna graduating makes me feel old!  Where did the time go?  Thank goodness we have Austin just starting in school so I won't have to deal with the "empty-nest" for a long time.  But I know it's still going to be so sad when she leaves for college in the fall.

I found a great dress to wear to Kristyna's graduation.  Where did the time go?  She should still be my little girl :-) 

Amazingly it's a size Medium!  Found some cute black shoes too, size 8!  Kristyna has really helped me lately pick out some really cute clothes.  I have no idea what is considered cute because I got so used to buying whatever was in my size and on a really good sale.  She's an awesome helper!   AND.........Barry had me find him a shirt and tie to coordinate with my dress, he's so dang cute!

Kristyna weighs 105 and I've lost 106.8!  Being the smartass that she is, she jumped on my back and told me to carry her around the living room.  We did it, but dang that was hard!
