• 4 1/2 weeks into a challenge...and some other stuff

  I am 4 1/2 weeks into an 8 week Biggest Loser Challenge. Currently I am in 5th place. The top 3 take home the cash, so I need to step it up a bit. Actually, part of our program has been (in addition to all the working out) going into the sauna twice a week for 30 minutes each. I believe the sauna is helping. In all honestly, I don't think I'm doing much else different from what I've been doing before except the sauna. And my last 3 weigh-ins have been 3.25 lbs, 2.5 lbs, and 2.5 lbs. I haven't had this kind of kick-butt weight loss since February. But I am competing against some gals who weigh a lot less than me, and they are also losing 2-3 pounds a week....well when you weigh less, your percentage of weight loss is going to be more than someone bigger like me. So I need to figure something out...because I want that cash!!!!

  In other news....Lily slept in a toddler bed for the first time last night. My baby is growing up. We were able to get our hands on a toddler bed for free (It's Spongebob Squarepants!), and her crib matress fits perfectly into it, so we gave it a try last night. Of course, putting her to bed was a challenge, but once she was asleep, all was well.

  Random thought: I think I am incapable of "going green." I have bought SEVERAL Meijer reusable grocery bags so I don't have to get plastic bags all the time...and EVERY time I forget to bring them with me to the store! A lot of good those bags do me sitting at home....*sigh*

  Finally, we're heading to Chicago this weekend. We'll be catching up with some old friends in The Salvation Army. It will be nice.

  Oh, and my birthday is in 11 days!!!!!
