Really bad news

I got an email today from someone I don't really know. I get emails from this individual occasionally and they are strictly informational ones. I read them occasionally too. This time I read the title: "Really bad news". I say to myself, "I am not gonna waste my time with that right now." However, curiosity got the worst of me and I opened it. She begins by stating that it isn't really bad news but she wanted to get my attention. She's actually got a promotional offer... I delete it and feel bugged for getting sucked into the trap. Just as I am doing to you now. There really isn't any really bad news. Sorry guys.
I do however have mildly bad news. I lost less than 1 lb this week after all my hard work. How is it that someone can be as active as I am (I ran 4 miles today and walked another 2 miles; plus did a little weight training,) and eat as healthy as I do (also limiting my calories to 1200/day,) and still have a big huge fat butt?! I guess I wasn't blessed with a super model body no matter how hard I work. So all you who are in my support group, this week I need you to help me to stick with it. Besides, exercise is something I truly enjoy regardless of my big fat butt. I am determined to shed a few pounds this next week! Help me stay motivated.
On to other news, we have had 3 offers on our house in just one week and the 3rd offer just fell through today. Bummer. But we are at least encouraged by the amount of action going on and are hopeful it wont be much longer.
Still no job offer for Steve, but it sure is nice getting to spend all this time with him. He is incredible.
Becca had her first day of kindergarten on Monday. She is so much fun!
Her siblings wanted to get a photo with her on her first day. These guys love their little sister so much. She's a lucky girl to have so many adoring fans.

This post wasn't much fun was it?
I'll do better later.

I'm glad there isn't any really bad news! Don't get too discouraged on the weight loss issue, I'm sure you look great--and I'm sure the weight (IF you truly need to lose weight) will come off soon! I'll join your support group in a couple weeks:)

Becca looks so cute in that picture!! What a big girl!

That is great news about your house getting so much traffic. I bet you'll have another offer right away. And, we are still praying for Steve that he gets a job offer SOON! Love you!

Just so you know, you are GORGEOUS! no more ugly talk ok???

Hey, weight loss is weight loss, don't get down about it, you might find that next week, you'll have a big drop.

Becca is sooooooooo cute! How do you stop yourself from constantly kissing that cute little face?

So, with that one pound...that makes four, right? That's like a baby. A very small baby.

What a cruel trick! Remember when you were a telemarketer? You should have started your conversation, "Is this the homeowner? OK, I've got bad news..." You would have sold more coupon books.

plus, you're skinny, silly!

I think you are beautiful so don't worry about losing a bunch of weight. Besides, I bet Steve is a booty kind of guy!

I've lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks, mostly because I was sick and wasn't eating. I've been trying so hard to lose some extra pounds, but I hate to exercise. I wish I had your enthusiasm for it. Please rub some of it off on me!
