ThanksGiving 2008

My favorite holiday is ThanksGiving... I love it, I love getting together with family and just hanging out. This year was a just a little party, only a few of the crazy's showed up. And since Victoria rarely updates her blog I thought I add some pics of her and her chubby baby. Victoria and Ali
Baby Tish just had a baby on Monday and here is a four generation picture of Great-Grandma Castillo, Grandma Clark, Tish and Taylee, aren't they just cute as buttons.

Todd always the Rock. Anytime I need him.


Here are some pictures from Temple Square. I love, love Christmas lights and what better place to see them then on Temple Square in SLC. Courte, Me and Todd went down on Friday the night after Thanksgiving. I love it. It is like FireWorks in the cold. These aren't very good pictures but I think you can understand where I am coming from.

Todd and Courte in front what looks to me like a gingerbread house. I don't know what building it is, but it is cute.

The Results are In and I am a Loser

Okay I am a loser, not the biggest, in fact only second to last place. But hey that's okay, I have been losing weight since February and this was only part of what I have lost or intend to lose.
The results are - Weight Loss 8.2 lbs. Overall % Loss 4.82 Inch Loss 9.75. Not bad for an old lady, like myself. So far this year 17 percent overall. Yea! for me!

Body Bugg Ultimate Loser Contest

Okay, this is the last week of this long contest. I must say I love watching the Biggest Loser on TV it is definately a whole other world living it. I am so bored right now I feel like giving up. But like I said 4 more days I can't give up now. I have done just what a normal person can do. 1lb per week, nothing to scoff about, I am pretty proud of myself. I really wanted to lose 10lbs in 8 weeks but 8 in 8 will do. I just need a change. Wish me luck!
Also I am starting a fund, The Replace the Boobies Fund. This weight loss has taken a lot out of the girls. So I not only have to continue to lose weight but now I have to start saving money and I am not really good at that.
