The Winner!

Those of you who have Facebook may have heard this already, but I had to make sure everyone knew because I'm so proud!
Benj began a weight-loss challenge at work right before Thanksgiving. Since most people gain weight over the holidays, his company wanted to reward those who lost weight during that time period.
Out of 500ish employees, my hubby lost the most weight - 21.2 lbs in 6 weeks! He worked hard on his diet and was so good even with all the goodies around. He picked his prize - a new flat screen TV. He brought it home last night and has already set it up. :)
Benj says he's about halfway there so cheer him on the next couple months.

We celebrated by going to Texas Roadhouse. While we were dieting (yes, I was too - sort of. I lost 3 lbs. Whoohoo!), we dreamed of all the delicious, million-calorie meals we could splurge on when we were done. We drive past Texas Roadhouse all the time, always mumbling, "mmmmmmm, Texas Roadhouse". Ohh, it was worth the wait. Every bite was absolute heaven.


Logan enjoyed it too, even though we had to wait an hour and a half to eat. Poor kid ate a lot of peanuts and I had to make sure he didn't eat any shells off the floor in the waiting room.

Chicken critters, fries, potato skins, rolls and diet cokes, because you know, we're on a diet.
We are back to being good, so I hope looking at the picture above doesn't make me cheat.

congrats! 21 pounds is quite the accomplishment. I just have to say that Logan is SO DARLING. He's one of the most handsome little guys I have ever seen. So cute.
