Then and Now: Happy Birthday E1!

It’s my son’s 11th birthday today so I am taking a walk down memory lane. He was only 18-months-old in this picture. He always looked much older than his age.

He was into Hawaiian shirts at the age of 2. Watch out Tom Selleck.

At the age of 3, he was beginning to tire of my picture habit.

Then at 4, he got sweet again.

Fast forward a bit. This is my fave “Mom, take the pic” pic.

This was at a school performance. He HAD to smile so I took advantage of the moment.

In his ensemble costume for The Music Man.

Dressed as “The Constable” for The Music Man.

To me, he still looks the same but with more hair. Happy 11th Birthday Buddy! We love you!

Game On Diet: Update #3

I just completed my third week on the Game On plan and things are beginning to fall into place now. The five mini meals seem more like regular meals to me and the exercise is becoming a habit. I stalled this week as far as weight loss even though I did everything else that I was supposed to do. I had such large losses during the first two weeks that I think my body is adjusting now.

On a happier note, I am down two sizes! Now that’s something to celebrate. As we head into our last week, the Ding Dongs are hoping to reign supreme over those Twinkies and Ho Hos. Can we do it? I think so!

I was thinking the other day that I could eat this way normally. It has finally clicked for me and it doesn’t really seem like work. It’s just common sense really and the team part makes it fun and keeps you honest. Some of you have said that you are starting your own teams. If so, I would love to know how you are doing!

I am posting this early so I have yet to find out how our team did as far as scores for the week but I am hoping that we came out on top. I will post a comment to this post if that is the case.
