Yesterday

Yesterday was a fun but busy day.  I DID get some housework done, but not as much as I should have simply because... we ended up going shopping and out to dinner.  You see, our TV took a crap.  Now my hubby is a smart guy.  He's going to school for his degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.  So, he took the time to look up the repair guides online, took the TV apart, and then diagnosed the problem.  It's a $100 fix.  But now, NOW I don't trust the TV.  We brought our oldest's TV out here to use until it was repaired and then we decided screw it, we're buying a new one!  Mostly because like I said, I don't trust the old Samsung anymore and oldest's TV (that he uses for games like old school Nintendo and VHS) is well, and old Tube TV we bought back in 2000.  We ended up getting a new one and set it up last night.  It's pretty great, but HUGE.  It's a man TV.  LOL  The only thing so far that I've noticed I don't like is that the TV is 1080.  Netflix is 720.  So the pic on the TV isn't as good.  But when you watch DVD's... OMG.  FANTASTIC.  DVD's are 1080.  INSANE how good the pic is.  And we got a crazy good deal.  :D

Then we hung out and did a few other things.  Like, let the kiddos play at the play area in the mall and took them to Great American Cookie since it was youngest's b-day.  Clap for me -- I only had like, 2 small bites of cookie!  :D  I had a shake before we went, so I just had a taste.  We did lunch out and the hubby and I shared a salad from TB.  Wasn't great.  But I figured since we were out walking for HOURS it was fine.  That's two days I've gotten out and walked around.  May not be walking on a treadmill, but I was up and moving!  Dinner was the only place I didn't do great.  Well, dessert.  I had a mini caramel pie.  So yum!  But it will be the last for a while.  But I'm ok with having it.  I probably SHOULDN'T, but oh well.  It was moderation.

Didn't weigh this AM.  I figured I did yesterday on my 'official' day so no point in today on top of that.  I probably will again soon, but not too soon.  I DID, however, try on my bridesmaids dress last night.  OY.  It was TIGHT.  When I tried dresses on, I tried on a 14 and it fit great.  However, I guess I should've taken into account that it was a sample and would be slightly stretched.  Cause it fit great unlike the one I tried on last night!  I hope I can lose a few pounds in the next few weeks; otherwise that dress is going to be like wearing a corset for an entire day!  But I think if I could lose at least 5 or 6lbs., I would be ok.  The hubby said the only place that 'looked' tight was the bodice... which means I need to lose some back fat.  UGH.  Hard area to lose for the most part.  But when I was losing, it did seem that area had gone down because this weird rolly area I'd had went down.  I hope that happens with losing this time!  I would really like to be under 195 for the wedding.  That's 7.5lbs. to lose to get to 194.5.  I think that is do-able if I don't stall out AGAIN.  I am going to aim for 7.5!

Well, I am going to get off of here.  I need to get to work and finish some of the things I wasn't able to get done yesterday and a few other things.  Hopefully the hubby can do the phone calling and let me get the other stuff caught up.  Not sure what we will do tomorrow, but if I get a lot done today, maybe a project or two can be finished.  Like, cleaning up the garage some!  We are having our beef delivered on Weds., so we need a clear path to the freezer!  I sure hope it will all fit.  I plan on organizing the deep freezer and moving a few things up here just to help insure there is plenty of room.  At least until my parents take part of their meat.  Not sure WHAT we're going to do if all of this doesn't fit.  I sure hope it does!  Might have to ask a neighbor to hold part of it.  But I hope not.  Anyways, off I go to start and hopefully finish a few things!
