This week has been full of great surprises ... my best friend, Courtney, called to say she was pregnant AND my co-worker, Michele, just found out that she is pregnant. It has been a baby-filled week; it is always so exciting to plan for a little one.

I have eaten out twice in the past week at Outback along with attending a BBQ at Steve and Elaine's house. I tried my best those nights to stick to my diet plan, but I must admit that I cheated a little bit. I'm still walking, but on Friday and Sunday afternoon, I took the dogs for an extended stroll. I completely enjoyed myself, but I think it was a little much for Noah.

The verdict ... I lost .6 lbs., which brings my total weight loss to 4 lbs.
