Where does the time go anyway?

I really do have good intentions of getting online and posting something witty for you all to read on a consistent basis. I do! Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time I will attempt to post a blog that will entertain you on the happening things in my life. Ready? Set? Go....

I started Weight.Watchers about 3 weeks ago. I've lost every single week, so I'm up to 6.75 pounds lost. It is a small victory, to say the least. I went out to dinner with one of my dearest friends on Thursday that I rarely get to spend time with and we went to the Olive.Garden. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and asked for their nutritional guide? I got a brochure that night. My guess is that the rest of the items on their menu are so high in calories and fat, they could not bear to actually put it in print, so they just said....nah skip it. I really wanted to order something draped in a block of mozzarella cheese, but opted for...drum roll...because this is sooo exciting people......minestrone soup (on the guide, low in calories), whole wheat linguini and marinara sauce. One breadstick and two meatballs. I then proceeded to eat half of the actual dinner and box the rest up. There is only one reason I didn't eat all of it - because I knew on Saturday, I'd need to weigh in. I guess that paid off since I lost 2.75 pounds this week, but wow, what a disappointing meal. The food was good, but my brain wanted something different.

I've joined a "Fall Ball" coed softball team. So far we are 2-0! Woo Hoo!!! I have a great time with those people, and we've all played together for so long, we know each others abilities and limits. I'm so glad I have the opportunity to play.

I recruited a superstar volleyball team too. Our games start in October on Thursday nights. Last year, you may remember me crying about the fact that our team was so crappy. The thing is, noone likes to be on a losing team. So, in the hopes I don't lose any friendships, I recruited a group of women who are competitive and bloodthirsty (haha, that kinda sounds rough doesn't it) and needless to say, I've decreased our total team from 18 or so...to 8. We're all very competitive too, so I'm looking forward to our matches.

I'll check in later this week - I'm sure I'll have lots more to talk about...like my bra party...now doesn't THAT sound intriguing?!
