Time for a much needed long weekend. Still not sure if the entire family is going - but I know I am LOL. I have a pile of cooking magazines and WW magazines and a blank calendar - going to work out some menu's and grocery lists - hoping to get about 12 weeks worth done. I will figure out a way to link them all here - sorta like a "saving dinner" kind of thing - only free LOL I think when I get back I'm going to sign back up with fly lady as well. My house is started to get messy again - not dirty - but messy. I can't understand how I can pick everything up - and 10 minutes later it's trashed ! Well, with 4 kids I can understand it - but that doesn't mean I like it ! Down 2 lbs at my Biggest Loser Meeting today - just need to stay on track. Rick - the gym owner - has lost 12 lbs in about 3 weeks - so I need to get my rear in gear if I'm going to win this thing ! The girl next to me has lost about 6 lbs each of the past 2 weeks - not sure how she...

This blog has gotten off track. It was meant to help me stay on track with my weight loss, and perhaps share some of my personal life with the outside world (If you don't find that interesting - then click on the recipe you want on the left, and don't read the rest LOL) I've realized that I don't think I've ever said much about myself (although I know you're all sick of hearing about the kids). So I thought I'd truly try blogging for a change. A big part of me is my religion, for I am a Muslim. This is my story. I am married to an Egyptian, and I am Muslim I was a Christian my entire childhood. I was baptized in the Catholic Church as and infant, and again in an Interdenominational church as a young teen, because I was told that first one "didn't count". Years later, my step mother also found out that her baptism didn't count ( they didn't do the full underwater thing when she was in her 20's). and the pastor told her she...

While the weight is not exactly melting off - I do feel 100% better. I've been to the gym probably 8 of the last 10 days. This a.m. I was there at 4 a.m. - couldn't sleep - so figured I'd get an extra workout in. Feels good to move. A friend told me I need to get back to menu planning - how right. The kids have been doing so good - we're doing a family biggest loser. Right now I'm in 3rd place. But we have until the end of the year, so plenty of time to catch up. I've missed my last 2 WW meetings - and going to miss again tomorrow - swim meets. But, I'll be there the following week - just hoping the scale goes down between now and then ! Found a great sale on swim suits
