It took a couple extra days to lose it but look how happy the Queen looks?

Lilly finds a way to be useful in the kitchen.

March 3, 2012

Started the day with a 30mile bike ride into hella wind. Beautiful no less.

Later, friends from Austin and dinner at Beavers.

March 2, 2012

Date night at Uchi. THIRTEEN COURSES, and we had the chef craft our menu. Amazing doesn't cover it. Get the fried milk for dessert. Heaven.

It's spring! Yeah for March! Biker bingo at work for MS150 fundraiser.

February 29, 2012

Happy Leap Day! It was a busy one, with a morning NAWMBA event, and an evening swim class.

February 27, 2012

This week was a 1 pound loss, which is slightly disappointing but in the correct direction.

And for my grandmother, who will undoubtedly give me the stink-eye once-over when we go to Poland in May, followed by a pithy comment on my weight, THAT IS 3.810176 KILOS.

February 26, 2012

A jam packed weekend, with a little time for a small adventure.

February 25, 2012

My parents have been married for 33 years which is pretty much amazing to me, so we went to Bay Area park for play time, Tookie's for dinner and then looked at the moon through my Dad's telescope.

February 24, 2012

My Friday off and the first Friday of lent masterfully collided to mud-bugs for lunch. Yum.

Nerd Alert: This is one of the holograms that my company uses at trade shows - it is a semi-submersible. I had to ask what that meant, and I wish I knew more of the techy stuff my company does.

February 22, 2012

Ash Wednesday was in appropriately busy with contractor's (our AC high pressure pipe was knocked during construction and, you know, the gate went out again), swimming lessons, an night time ritual. I forgot that I ordered this for Baby Lucas, and when it came in the mail today, it made me smile.

February 21, 2012

Happy Mardi Gras! Andrew got a stomach virus, so Mama had to play double duty today. I even cooked dinner!

February 20, 2012

So it was a rough week weight-wise, mostly due to Valentine's day and pre-Lenten celebration. I only ticked off an additional 0.4 lbs this week, but resolve to work harder next week. Grand total of 7.4lbs.

February 19, 2012

An early morning bike ride in the boonies, followed by the massively compensating chocolate cake for Dennis' birthday.

February 18, 2012

Polish donut party (or Paczki Party) for the last ditch before Lent, and Lilly is seriously territorial of her paczki.

Yes, her nails are red, her idea, and I'm a sucker for cute red nails.

February 17, 2012

The dance class diva.

And I'm still sick of the rain.

I will say that one benefit of living close to work is that I can watch to see when contractors arrive from the board room meetings.

Also, I am over winter weather. No snow, no skiing, then hasta says me. Bring on summer.

February 14, 2012

In case there was rumor that I am the only mom who puts effort into class holiday parties, behold evidence to the contrary.

Dinner at District 7, and ice cream at The Chocolate Bar make for a nice little celebration.


February 13, 2012

Week 3, 7 LB's down. So many to go but I feel like this is accomplishable. I'm pretty sure that's not even a word.

February 12, 2012

Today's cold weather led to indoor activity: prepping Lilly's valentines. Homemade caramel popcorn was a success, with minimal burns on my part.

February 11, 2012

Kasia S. is getting hitched, so the bridal-shower-insane-gathering-of-women commenced.

February 10, 2012

Uncle Pat and Peggy visited from Canadialand, so we celebrated familia style.

February 9, 2012

MS150 team happy hour. Good times at Celtic Gardens.

February 8, 2012

Will you be my loving ninja?

The Master Bedtime Procrastinator. Also, somewhat Who-like.

February 6, 2012

Ok, so it is not quite 5, but 4.8lbs in two weeks. I claim the benefit of rounding.

The Big Day: the male-equivalent of Valentines day, Superbowl Sunday. We had some friends over and there was feasting: Chopped beef/slaw sliders, Pigs in a blanket with carmelized onions, homemade spring rolls and peanut sauce by Stephanie L., dips and chips and more dessert than should be legal. Let's say it was Weight Watchers day to kindly suckit.

Allie and Lilly had fun decorating their Rice Krispy treats. More frosting and gummi bears than treat, if you will.
