February 14, 2010 - Day 42

Happy Valentine's Day! This morning I decided to make crepes for the family. Cam loves them, and ever since I've known him, he's wanted to make them. So I figured this would be a nice surprise and something we could all do as a family. It was fun! Riley loved helping, saying over and over again, "Help Mommy! Help Mommy!" and helped add the ingredients and whisk them all together. I manned the grill, and Cam experimented with different fillings. My favorite was honey and cinnamon; Cam liked them with butter and syrup; and Riley liked hers with honey. These were also super easy to make. Gotta love stuff like that! :)

On another note, my weight is now at 138.5 pounds. While that number represents a slower weight loss rate than previous weeks, it's still a loss of weight. So, woo-hoo there! I'm closing in on having lost more weight versus the amount I want to lose. That's my immediate goal for now. Then it's on to fitting into the size 8 jeans I bought at Goodwill today. I tried them on and I can get in them and close them, although not in a super comfy way. But I'm thrilled I could get them on b/c that hasn't happened in a long time!
