On a mission...

Good evening everyone! It's been a busy week for us here. With the chickens arriving Monday and our piggies going on Wednesday night ( what a chore that was!), the weather has been cold and raw and we are to get a snow storm tonight :(   Starting April 1 rst, myself and a bunch of other MPS parents are on a mission...to lose weight!  we have 2 months to try and reach our goal and for every pound we lose, we donate a dollar to the National MPS Society to help research and find a cure for our children!  I have lost 4 lbs since the weekend, yippee, my goal is to lose 20 lbs but I will go for more, lol. I have been taking our 2 dogs for 30 min walks almost every day this past week, on top of yard work and house cleaning...did you know there is website that gives you how much calories you burn, even doing house work?  It's awesome! I am also on a 1200 daily calorie diet...not easy to stick too, and here I am eating doritos and having a beer, lol, I am hungry!! But in the end, it is so worth it!  So wish me luck on my newest adventure please :)

Hoping you all have had a great week and have a wonderful weekend, hoping the weather is good for us and that we don't get too much snow, we want to get more work done on  our front porch!

Have a great night everyone,

hugs and blessings, Trish

    Good luck with your weight loss Trish. I bet you can do it. I am trying to lose 10 pounds before the wedding, but with a trip to Disney and a trip to Destin, I dunno. I posted a picture on my blog and it should motivate me. I was shocked when I looked at it.lol Starting back to Curves tomorrow.

    We were busy coop building but I am with you and trying to lose a few. I always put them on from Oct-Jan. Now need to lost them. I lost three pounds this week but need to get serious this week again after I just had a rootbeer float. Love all your chickens. Wish we could keep a rooster but can't in our city.

    Hope your chicks and piglets are staying warm and cozy and that your weather improves soon. Congratulations on your weight loss and for donating to such a great cause, it's not easy but you are doing great! And the occasional 'treat' is just fine, you can't deprive yourself all of the time :O)
