Friday Car Troubles, Saturday night fun, and Weight loss

(Playing Texas Hold'Em. We lost...)

Last night we went to our friends' house in Hannibal, Mo. Bobbi and Brian had "game night". It was a great time! Today, Allen is at work, I'm cleaning house, and tonight we are going to pull the battery out of my car to take it to O'Reilly's to get tested. Friday morning when I went to start my car to go to work , all I got was a click. We tried to jump start the car, but that didn't work. More than likely it's not the battery, but we are going to check out the easiest cheapest possible problems first before we have a mechanic look at it. !SIGH! Car troubles are no fun. Good thing we have two cars!


Tonight we are also putting up our new treadmill! YEAH! :) I'm really excited about it! Having the treadmill will be good for both Allen and I, no excuses not to exercise. Good for Penny too! We're going to train her to walk on it, so when it's raining or really cold she can still get a good walk in. It's funny because my family has notice me losing weight, but Allen's family has noticed him gaining. I'm still getting used to the cooking thing. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of great recipes available to me, but sometimes it's hard to get portions right. Allen has a pretty ravenous appetite, and if the food's there he will eat it. So, I'll have to work on portion control when cooking. We have definately cut down on our fast food intake, which has helped. Allen stopped drinking regular soda about two weeks ago, which is also going to help. We're going to try to nix soda drinking whether regular or diet all together. We'll be letting you know how it goes. Hopefully, you will be able to start seeing results! I'm thinking about making a separate blog page to track our progress. If I do, I will be sure to post a link on the side bar.
