OMG! I have a comment

And it's from Attila the Mom. I read "Cheaper Than Therapy" every day, well, every weekday anyway. She has insprired hubby to save save save on groceries too. We shop at the military commissary, so it's not as easy to get the percent savings (they have a contract that makes them charge cost plus 5%, no coupon-doubling here either), but we routinely save about 20-35% now just with coupons.

I really wasn't expecting anyone to read this. I just write to clear my mind (read: vent). I guess it's a place I feel safe just letting it out. Anyway, thanks for stopping by.

And since it's Monday, my own OLTA (completely stolen from Nikki (see link to Bite My Ass in my sidebar)). This morning I weighed in at an astounding 160 lbs. I have this neat little scale that uses electric pulses through the feet (no pain involved, I swear) to estimate body fat...it told me, this morning, that I'm at 30.5% body fat. That's down half a percent from when I started this adventure. And yesterday, I put on my size 10 jeans (ok, so it was the loosest pair and they were 'a bit' snug, but still). When I can get back into my Rockies, I'll be happy. You can't imagine how disheartening it was to hear the sales lady say "They don't make Rockies in your size."

I've been somewhere around the same size since 1992...well, until 2006 anyway. (This does not include periods of pregnancy and post-pregnancy (I have 3 kids after all).) Over the course of the first half of 2006 I managed to pack on over 15 pounds...and I wasn't happy with my weight before! Now I just want to get back to where I was...I started OLTA at almost 165 lbs...I've lost almost 5...just 15 to go...I CAN do this...
