Weight Blog

Or should I say Weight Blarg...?

I started a weight loss blog this summer. It's just something I do for myself, to help keep track of things, to have some accountability, and as an outlet. It's private and it will stay private, at least for a while.

Before Christmas, I had lost 27 pounds since my heaviest this summer. If you would like to share the journey with me, be a cheerleader, etc, email me and I will send you an invitation.

Private Blog

I hate private blogs. There. I said it.

I have a stack of private blogs at the bottom of my blog list. I never look at them. I never know when they've been updated and I'm not going to check each one every day. I completely understand why someone would choose to be private - especially if they have children; the world is a scary place. Maybe I just don't know the ins and outs of blogging enough. Is there an easier way to view private blogs and know when they've been updated? Do I have to subscribe to the blog and check my email feed every day? Would that even register that it's been updated?

It's Official

There are some things that I just realized, some things that I have officially become. One is a homemaker. Yesterday, I sat at work and looked through grocery store ads to find deals on things we need for the house. I've never done that before. Then, last night, Jed and I went to the store and bought all the stuff we needed, *on sale*. It was great! I feel smart and savvy. ;)

Now, because I had to blog about that and tell the world, I realized the other thing that has become official. I am officially addicted to blogging. If you'll notice, I've blogged almost every day for the last week (except weekends when I don't spend all day sitting in front of a computer). The Catch-22 is that I don't have very much access to pictures when I'm on my work computer because I can't get on to Facebook or Myspace to copy pictures, so my blogs have been pretty bland. Sorry. :( In an effort to help that, here are some random pictures from my snapfish account:

This is my friend from Whitney, from Ohio.

This is when I went out to visit my sister Laurel in California and we went on The Price is Right. You can see us on TV!

This is when I met up with my best friend, Katy Hoke Hartung, in Salt Lake over Christmas, and I met her husband.

This is me with my sister Emily and her husband Adam on the Fourth of July in Kansas.

This is my nephew Nate (Emily's oldest of two boys) "going to the beach".

This was Halloween in Ohio; Dad, Mom, me, and Jeff.
I had to add a picture of my really good friend, Amelia Lunt Savage. Sorry Meals, this one's from freshman year because I don't have any recent ones on my snapfish account... I'll work on that.
This is my sister Laurel and her little boy Eli at the beach in California.

This is my sister Angela and her boyfriend in California.
