Seriously...we weighed in tonight and our scale would not register out weight. It kept dancing around but would never land on a number. The one time (out of probably 15 tries) that it did, it said we gained weight...and that is unacceptable!
Tonight's mission is to find a good quality scale and hopefully the numbers will be better! HA.

Yard Sale
Last week totally kicked my butt! After posting my record high weekly weight loss, it was just about downhill from there!
All week we were cleaning out closets, making posters, pricing stuff, organizing stuff, all for our Yard Sale on Saturday. I've never thought yard sales take a lot much work, until you start putting one together...and one that includes 6 families. We had TONS of stuff! (I wish I would have taken some pictures.)
I think we finally went to bed close to 1:00am on Friday (Saturday morning) and woke up at 5:00am to go get coffee and donuts (yes...donuts...who has a yard sale without donuts?)...well since I am NEVER up at that hour, I had no clue that Starbucks didn't open until 6, so we just had donuts. When I got back home, the guys had already started bringing stuff to the front yard...it was still dark and SO cold! We had put out the signs the night before in 80 degree weather, so to wake up to 30 degrees was a shock! Karen and Sara came by around 6:30 and brought two more truck loads of stuff, that we quickly arranged and priced. We were told serious shoppers start showing up around 7:00am, so when we didn't see the first customers until after 8:00, we were worried that this was going to be a flop! But after 7 hours of shopping, we only ended up donating a couple of trash bags of clothes and just a few boxes of left over odds and ends. We all walked away with some much needed money...definitely a great way to start the New Year!

Biggest Loser - "Stewart Style"
Since tonight was the premiere of BL7 (the season we would have been on) we decided to do our own BL...Stewart Style. The Stewart Style does not consist of working out hours and hours a day, it does not consist of doing death defying stunts to earn immunity and it will never vote us off!
Casey got Zach hooked on this diet plan a year ago and for the month of January in 2008 we did really well...and then started moving and things went downhill from there. Totally moving forward this year and kicking some butt! We jump started our diet on Friday 01/02/09, so that when the contestants weighed in tonight and lost ungodly amounts of weight, we could weigh in as well. We have been sticking to the plan really well (except for one night) and I have "worked out" twice.
I know I mentioned that I was thinking about posting the scale's actual number and pictures...but I'm just WAY too embarrassed about that number right now...but stay tuned you never know. (Like all of y'all are just on pins and needles waiting to see how much we really weigh.) BUT I will post some pictures (just not tonight, because I can't find the right cable).
This week's results:
L: -12.6 lbs.
Z: -3.6 lbs.
*After we weighed in, Zach said that he probably cheated more than once...haha*

Word.
pu·ri·fy: to make pure : to clear from material defilement or imperfection : to free from guilt or moral or ceremonial blemish : to free from undesirable elements
I've chosen purify as my word for 2009. I've already put in place a diet plan to purify my body of all this ridiculous fat that it has been carrying. Zach and I will start attending churches again regularly and hopefully that will lead us to a great church home. I am going to try really hard to stop shopping at Target, Hobby Lobby, Pier 1, or any store besides a grocery store, on a weekly basis...and if in fact I do step foot in one of those stores, I will go in for what I came for (list in hand) and leave. I guess de-clutter could be another word for 2009...but I'm totally going to take this to an entirely different level.
Word.
