Okay Brian and I went to the movies at Market Common, a Charlestonesqu shopping center, and at lunch. We had about 2 hours to kill between lunch and the movie so we started to walk around.

So as of July 19th, even with June being a bad month for going to Curves I was able to lose a couple more pounds and even a few more inches. Since January I have lost a total of 15lbs and 18 inches.

Next time it wont take me so long as Brian wont have to teach me how to chiffonade and I will have done it before. The longest part of the meal was the ( Read more... )

So Brian and I are starting this month with tackling our budget. We have always kept an eye on it and always are within our means but we both feel we could tighten ourselves up a bit more and actually save more then we are.
