Some pictures to close the weekend with

I thought I would share some non-weight related stuff!

My sister is currently rocking, in a rocking chair and has been for over 29 hours now. It’s all part of an event held by a local Toyota dealership, where the longest rocker will win a 2010 Toyota Matrix and the charity they are rocking for will win a 2010 Toyota Sienna. Click here if you’d like to see live streaming video of her and the others who are left still rocking away. My sister is in the picture below and she’s pretty determined to win that car. She has lost over 60 pounds this year and was part of my inspiration to start this journey…I hope she wins. The charity she is rocking for is PACE, whose mission is to provide girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training, and advocacy. GO CHRISTINA!!!

Another non-weight related event – Last night we went to a Haunted Walk at the Calusa Nature Center. It really was scary, too! My girls kept grabbing their dad’s shirt every time someone would jump out at them. My oldest tried climbing IN his shirt at one point. Anyway, I thought I’d share a few pictures from last night:

This might look like just a ballerina, but when it’s pitch black and this practically all white dancer comes out of nowhere and gets right up in your face all the while dancing and being completely silent? Yeah, she was FREAKY!

This creature was over 10 feet tall and freaked me out the most just because he was sooo tall…it was so dark you couldn’t see anything and all these creatures just “appeared”…note my family over to the right scared silly.

Here’s a less scary one of my girls being…girls:

And here’s one of me and my husband before the walk began while it was still light out.

I really do hate having my picture taken, and seeing myself in them, but I just remind myself that this is still a ‘”before” picture and I’m working on the “after” ones.

One more thing before I call it a night…and this IS weight-loss related. I cooked dinner tonight! I made potatoes with carrots, chives, and garlic:

and broiled steak (of which I only ate 1/2 piece), and (white) corn on the cob:

So with that, the weekend is over and I’m off to go get ready for the new week. I’m looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow as it marks Day 28 and the end of Week 4 of this journey. I hope everyone in the bloggerhood had a great weekend…I’ll visit your blogs in the A.M.
