10% down - on my way to 32%

So Friday was a fantastic day to cap off a great week. Let me run it down for you:
  1. It was a short week with the 4th of July being on Monday. It gave Rob and I a whole day to spend together - we got some coffee, quick bite for lunch and then topped it off with burgers, baked beans and potato salad. All in all a great American Holiday.
  2. I was able to run twice for a total of almost 6 miles
  3. Then Friday started with great news - as Weight Watchers FINALLY listened to me and adapted their incredible iPhone Tracker AP into an iPad friendly masterpiece. It is truly wonderful and I am quite impressed.
  4. And it didn't stop there - oh no! Debbie, Leslie & I were off to our weekly WI where I lost4 lbs. for a total of 31.4 in 18 weeks and putting me beyond my 10% goal of 29 lbs. IT WAS AMAZING! The only thing (and it really doesn't bother me too much) is that the token you get for reaching the 10% goal is a key chain. But not just any key chain - a pink platedkey chain. WW really need to keep updating their tools and sell thisprocess to men, and they have started marketing that way - but let's start making these things more gender neutral. There I said my piece - I mean I am using it, I earned it!!!
  5. Then if that wasn't enough - I had my PBM (fancy acronym for our performance review process) with my boss Mr. Katz. So twice a year we sit down with our supervisor and take a look back at the last 6 months and decide what the goals of the next 6 months will be. And let me tell you - when I left his office roughly an hour after going in - I felt like I was floating on air. He helped me look back and realize that I had many accomplishments to be proud of.
And so now Rob and I are lounging - getting ready to head down to my parents for a dip in the pool and some BBQ. And I look forward to working had for the next 5 weeks before we head out to Barcelona to start our stay on the Celebrity Solstice, with my new goal of 12 more
lbs. by then. Keep you all posted.
