One week down, 16 to go

So today marked the finish of week one on my way to becoming healthier and stronger. I officially lost 1.6 lbs and was thrilled considering last week was my first on call week at work. (This means calls at any time of day for lab/sample/instrument issues. I got many calls including those at 1145p, 1 a, 130a, 3 a, and 330a) So you can imagine that working out and eating well wasn't at the top of my list - but I made it a priority and am glad that I did! My goal is simply a pound per week - so I am off to a great start.

One negative thing that Jason and I have learned about living in a small city (or should we call it town??) Um, gas and electric companies are few and far between - or there is only one and they are a monopoly!!! Our gas/electric bill ..... drum roll please ...... was $450!! So, I would like all of you to take a second and count your blessings if yours was less. If it wasn't... well, never mind, I can't imagine anyone have a worse bill! We are outraged but there is absolutely nothing that we can do....so we are going to look into getting our chimney cleaned and go back to the days of wood burning!!

As far as company goes, I believe Jason's parents are making the journey over from Indy this weekend and I know he really misses them! Weekends always go by fast when you have company. Other than that - it's my dad's 54th bday - so may end up having dinner or something. Hope you all have a wonderful relaxing weekend!
