The weekend was amazing! Richard and I enjoyed going to play disc golf on Saturday and are really looking forward to doing it again! We're even talking of going to get us one, and of course I'd try my hardest to get a really cute pink one! Maybe it'll help with my throw! lol. It didn't come natural to me, but Richard kicked ASS!! He was really good at it and caught on quickly! Then on Saturday we went out to eat at a new restaurant and it was so DELICIOUS Richard and I seriously contemplated going back for dinner to eat the SAME meal! That's saying something for us! And I made healthy choices since the meal was pasta and covered in a cream sauce I asked it on the side and just used how much I felt I wanted for taste, which cut back MAJORLY on the points! Then drove all the way to Longview to get some plates for our kitchen since I found the most adorable plates that I JUST had to have for our kitchen, and so the journey began. I DO NOT like Longviews set up. It's nothing like Tyler, and was very difficult to move around and find things. And a fabulous nights sleep on our wonderful new bed. Then Sunday we slept in... sorta. Noel wouldn't let us stay asleep. She's really something! Sometimes she'll lay on Richard's chest and start to growl at him to wake him up, it's so adorable! But Noel is like the exact definition of adorable! She's so funny!

Then we watched on TV and headed to the grocery store and did some shopping, where we forgot some essentials for gravy (cream of mushroom soup) and thought we'd have to go back, but luckily my mom had some :). And as I watched some TV Richard did the dishes (he's a God-send!!). And finally when it came time to cook dinner I really didn't want to and put it off, then found out we needed more potatoes, luckily my grandmother had some :). This living close to relatives thing is workin out right now. So then FINALLY I was able to cook the mashed potatoes, and everything turned out WONDERFULLY! It didn't turn out exactly as my nana's does every holiday, but it was close enough that I'll be able to help with the cooking and eventually carry on the tradition when she passes. Let me tell you I've got the mashed potatoes DOWN! I can make garlic mashed potatoes, and regular, and they both turn out tasting amazing! That plate is not what we drove all that way for, and originally there are peas (sweet peas) all over the plate. My family (well most) put the peas on top of the mashed potatoes and I always add some more on the side, but I forgot to take a photo and so when Richard got seconds we took one, and there weren't any more peas... sad day! lol. So we also cover the plate in gravy, but I did use wheat flour instead of white. Not wonderfully better, but better all the same!! OH and I forgot we put up the bed. I can't believe that the gold on the bed completely matches the hardware on the night stands and dresser! I bought them from two completely different places and about a year to two in between the purchases! Awesome!!! So it really goes well. We still need to add up the wall decor we've got picked out for the room. Now we only have a couple of things, but we'll get there slowly!

I weighed myself this morning and it didn't look good. It actually doesn't look like I lost any weight so far. But that's okay. I'm at the same or maybe .2 less than weigh in last week, it's still something. And not loosing and staying the same is better than gaining!! Every week I don't gain is another week towards my goal! I can't forget either that I did lift weights Monday and maybe it balanced out with what I lost, muscle building I mean. I still have high hopes this week for weight loss, but I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
