Happy Patriot Day

Hello all. Today is the anniversary of 9/11. Who doesn't remember exactly where they were and what they were doing? I was pregnant with Makenna and getting ready for work. It was a scary time, but a heroic time. I just want to say:
THANKS TO ALL THE MEN & WOMEN WHO RISK THEIR
LIVES EVERYDAY FOR OUR SAFETY AND FREEDOM.

I'm a few days late in my post. I weighed but it was later and later in the day. My friend and I are tracking our weight on www.weightlosswars.com. It's ok. But we can see each others progress and challenge each other or join other challenges. My initial weight in was 244.4 (and it was also at 9 at night). I don't think I've lost any weight but I heard on the radio that most women don't in the first couple weeks. So I have steered clear of the scale. I've kept track of my daily calories at http://caloriecount.about.com/. I really like this website for tracking everything I eat and the calories I burn doing activities. The goal this week is to get more active. Not like I haven't been doing anything. Yesterday was our first games. Awesome! We lost both times but I had a BLAST. It's all for fun. I biffed it trying to catch a foul ball. (I'm the catcher.)
