Halloween!

It's Halloween and I woke up to rain. Not the best way to start the morning but my weigh in today made up for it! 182.4! YUP! Down a total of 76.6lbs! I'm getting so much closer to my goal. Here's the break down:

159 is my goal (which is a weight loss goal of 100lbs) I'm 23.4lbs from that goal
164 is my "no longer over weight goal": I'm 18.4lbs from that goal

My BMI is currently: 27.7 and it needs to be 18.5 - 24.9

So despite the rain and gloom I'm feeling on top of the world right now! I'm that much closer!

Tonight I'll be dressing up as a good witch. I think bad witches should be left to the movies. As a Christian sometimes finding a happy medium (no pun intended) with pagan holidays can be difficult. I want to teach my children about Jesus, and Samhain and All Hallow's Eve aren't really a part of that. I suppose our celebrating Halloween is a lot like an atheist celebrating Christmas to the extent that they enjoy the "spirit" of the season, gift giving, and being with family. The warm and fuzzy aspects to the holiday. So I guess it's all about the candy and costumes for us. The fun part.

Later...

So Halloween was a bust. Our neighborhood cancelled and moved Halloween to Nov 1st due to the rain, which lasted ALL day. This has to be the first Halloween in memory that was moved to another day. I'm glad for the kids (who didn't care AT all) but I was bummed. This was also the first Halloween to take place on Bill's birthday. Another bummer because it meant we stayed home and didn't see his family. They pretty much do dinner and have cake birthdays.

So we'll see how the Halloween do over goes. Fingers crossed y'all!
