Busy weekend....

Met the fam after work on Saturday so we could drive to the outlet mall to do some school shopping. Got done there at about 8:30, so went out to dinner at Applebee's. That wasn't so bad as I had one of their WW options. Slept in a little on Sunday, then got up and made pancakes for everyone. Took 15 year old daughter and son to do MORE shopping... spent 4 hours at the mall!! Hubby and I shared Panda Express for lunch... not very good as far as points, but sure tasted good!! Stopped at Wal Mart to pick up some stuff for the house and a few groceries. After getting all of that home, hubby and I went out again to continue looking for shoes for him... he's very picky about shoes and wears a 14 so it's hard to find them... and we're still looking!!

Did good for food last night-- made a nice big salad for everyone. Hubby challenged me last night... He said "Let's weigh ourselves in the morning and see who loses the most weight by Sunday night", so now... It's ON!!! I told him we may have to do it according to percentage, though... we'll see.

Daughter and I got up this morning and went to the gym for 1/2 hour on the treadmill, then I came home and did a lower body workout on my On DEMAND channel. Already have drank 40 ounces of water.

Have to take the girls to the doctor this morning, then to Kohl's, then the mall. Then I have to get home and get some bills paid (before all the money is gone:) ) and get some laundry done as well as some other housework. I sure can't wait until next week... so much less housework when the kids aren't home all day!! Oh, yeah, I also have to get ready to leave for Flagstaff, AZ on Wednesday... Lots to do!

OHHHH!!! Almost forgot--- Hubby and I ordered a new bedroom set yesterday!!! Bed, dresser, mirror, and two nightstands that ALL MATCH!! We won't get it until mid October, but I'm so excited to have matching furniture and get a real bed, not just the frame! It's so pretty, too!

Okay... I think that's it. Gotta get my day going. Have a good one everybody!!!
UPDATE;

Just got back from Kohl's... spent nearly $100 on undergarments for my daughters-- and got myself a matching bra and panty set. Came home to have some lunch and are now headed to the mall. On our way home, the girls and I were talking about points and BOTH of them decided they want to start counting points more... YAY!! I think I'm going to get my youngest set up on here so she can track her food....

I think the exercise diary should have an option called "back to school preparations"!!! Everyone has been doing so much running around getting the kids ready to go back to school that it should qualify as an Olympic sport! Hehehe. Thankfully, the worst for me is over : ) I understand your excitement over your new bedroom set - we didn't get a matching set until we moved last year. So that was 17 years of marriage with odds and ends and, like you, only the frame for the bed - no headboard, no footboard - nothing! You'll have to take a picture and post it when you finally get it all set up. Great job on the food and exercise!

I redid my bedroom last year. It's nice to have a little oasis of your own to go to when needed. I would so totally love a challenge like you and your hubby have going on. That sound fun!!
