Week 10-WOOP

Hello week 10!

It looks like this week has been pretty eventful and fun. I must admit that I am starting to look forward to fall with crispier days and the opportunity for homemade chili. I'm going to jump right into the results and then tell you what I was up to this week and how I succeeded and failed.

I am almost to my 'serious' goal with losing 20 lbs. I have a mini goal this week to bust my bum as much as possible and reach that goal ASAP. I did lose a couple lbs this week and appears I am on the right course to making these permanent changes.

It's still difficult for me to see my BMI this high. After all this time, I am still considered obese. I guess mentally, I was thinking that number would drop MUCH faster. But, on a positive note, I am 7 weeks ahead of schedule so that's great. And in doing the math, I will reach my weight loss goal of 135 lbs the week of my 2nd Anniversary, if not sooner. So basically, I am a year out. However, if I continue to lose 2 lbs every week that would leave me with 27.5 weeks left to go and I'd reach my goal by February 16th. Wow, doesn't that sound so much better?! February seems closer than you might think and definitely more feasible mentally than September 2012.

This week, I went to a orchard with husband in tow and we hand picked two pecks of summer peaches. At less than a $1.00 a pound, we we thrilled to acquire these treats.

They are now in my kitchen and the entire house smells of a farmer's market. They taste infinitely better than store bought peaches and actually hold up longer before getting mealy.

Our collection of treats!

On Saturday, we had the pleasure of doing an exclusive wine tasting at Naked Mountain Vineyards. First of all, you HAVE to love the name!

Secondly, kudos to my husband for arranging the evening of fine wine, a picnic dinner to accompany the complimentary bottle and gazing at the stars. Although the weather didn't hold up, we got to sit under a gazebo with candles all around and listen to the rain while we ate and sipped. Even more beautiful was watching the storms surrounding the mountains in the distance.
