Gangsta Style

I had a good laugh today when Tom walked in from grilling out and his shorts were almost around his knees. He was rollin' gangsta style since they were so big! I guess we will have to budget for a new summer wardrobe. My capris and shorts are big as well, but not falling down as much as his.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks as the floors were finished and we decided to change things up a bit in the house while we had the opportunity. There are still a few things to put away/figure out, but we feel good with how things are looking. Here is a before and after of our floors:

This project actually goes along with our goal of financial responsibility. We invested our tax return into our house instead of what we have done in the past--spending it on "things" that don't show for anything. It felt very good to complete our first big home improvement.

We've continued to eat healthy and watch our portions. The temptations were numerous with the stress of the house being out of order and such, but we stuck with it. Today I put a dress on for Easter that was two sizes smaller and it fit great and it felt wonderful. I actually wore it with a lot of confidence. Here are the results:

Tom lost another three pounds for a total of 35 pounds!

Amie lost anotehr three and a half pounds for a total of 39 1/2 pounds!
