This coming weekend is the "Robert's Family Reunion" on Inks Lake. I'm really excited to be able to get together with the family and spend some fun, quality time with my immediate family and the extended family. I have off work on Friday, which comes in handy because Friday morning I will be meeting my Aunt to buy her car! Thanks to
Chris and my
folks, I am getting the opportunity to get a little car that will literally get about 4x the gas mileage that my truck gets. My parents are paying for it up front, and I will pay them back in time. I'm so blessed that they are willing to help me out. In return, I will be
"letting" my dad drive the car while he is working long distance at the Blufton Post Office for the next few months, but after that it will get turned over to moi. Hooray! :)

So, today on msn, there was a link of "What NOT to say" when someone you know is dieting. And as lots of you guys know, lately I have been trying to eat better, exercise, and live healthier overall.
I have to say, I have heard ALL of these things at least once, and some I hear literally everyday. Some really aren't so bad, and I don't mind when people say them to me. SOME of these I hear frequently, and they really do discourage me (for example, #'s 2, 5, and 7 especially. It's tough for me to say no.). So, I just thought it was interesting that this article was up here. And whether you're trying to lose weight, or know someone who is, you should take a look; most of it's pretty true:

Speaking of weight, can I toot my own horn by saying that I have officially lost 50 pounds since January 1st of this year?! I've still got a LONG way to go, but after what I've already accomplished, I know I can get there! :) Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me and motivated me to help get this far!
