From the Beal's week #4

WHERE IN THE WORLD HAS THE TIME GONE! We are already finished up with week 4 and are well into week #5... I guess actually since I am a slacker (not my last name... ha!).. week #5 is almost over. Week #4 was actually really good for us. This house hunting thing and selling our house has absolutly CONSUMED our lives... but yet we were still able to get some "losing" done.. I ended the week with 45 points.. although I REALLY REALLY wanted at least 50.. OH WELL! Jesse also had 45. We seem to stay right on each others toes. I actually have to say... since January 1 I have lost 13 lbs!!! YAY! But I cheated a little bit.. I was on weight watchers for a while.. lost 5.. then nothing... for weeks... even with this competition!...soooo.. Ann and I decided to go a little crazy and do the Atkins diet (i'm sure there are many of you who don't agree with that diet...)..but I have lost 8-ish more pounds in 2 weeks... I'm an "instant sucess" needer.. I need to see results immediatly.. or I lose allll motivation. Soo that atkins has helped.... Ann and I have just been pushing each other.. checking in to make sure we are not splurging on potato chips etc... then ... 2 weeks into it... Ann finds out that if you only have ONE KIDNEY... Atkins is like the most horrible thing you can do! WOOPS! So I may be on my own now.. But other than that.. we still just plung along... drinking our water.. eating our veggies.. LOTS AND LOTS of lettuce, spinach, broccoli.. stuff like that.. cause thats what atkins likes!
I really have started to make a chart so we can see everyone's success... but I havn't finished... I will get to that.. one day soon.
We are definetly up for dinner any time.. Still Sizzler? Lets just make the plan...
