175!!

As you can tell from the title of this post- I did it! Yeay! Today I weigh 175 lbs.
This is pretty significant.
A. I've lost 10 pounds since starting this blog
B. I've now lost 75 lbs. since November 5, 2009 (The day I went into the hospital to have Lucy)

75 pounds! You mean I used to be lugging around an elementary school kid with me!? No wonder I feel so much better now (:

I have a small tip to offer anyone watching their budget and waistline.
Thom and I LOVE to go through the drive-thru. Especially after a busy day or while we drive around so we can talk. As we all know, drive-thru adds up FAST! It gets expensive and contains loads of fat. So, we've really dove into Dave Ramsey lately. If you don't know Dave Ramsey, you should. He offers practical financial advice for any family, even if you aren't having any financial trouble. We've set the budget, and it doesn't really include money for fast food. BUT we've been saving our change. And we can use that change (and only change) to get fast food. This limits how much you spend (Because who really wants to pay over $3 in change) and in turn, limits how much you get and eat. It's really working for us. Our cravings are satisfied without blowing a healthy diet and we aren't killing our budget.

Just wanted to offer that small tip that's really been working for us.
Happy Weekend!
