Sinatra, Swimming, Sookie, and Shopping!

Hello World,

It's been a long time. We made it through the 12th annual UCO Endeavor Games. It was a huge success! We had record numbers this year in all aspects! I couldn't be more proud of the way the staff came together to make this event so awesome. Now on to plan the next big thing! Here is a preview of the 2011 video. The final version will be available on July 1 and I can't wait to see it!

So now that work is taken care of and life can get back to a normal let me catch you up. I ended up losing weight during the Endeavor Games. I was so worried I would gain. It is in my nature to eat when I am stressed and nothing stresses me more than all the crazy things that can happen in preparing for and making it through an event. I went to my Weight Watchers meeting on Tuesday and to my surprise I had lost 1.2lbs bringing my grand total loss to -29lbs! I also received my 10% award, meaning I have lost 10% of my starting body weight! I must say I am even more encouraged to keep trying and keep going with this weight loss. I want to keep getting healthy and keep on track to be a whole new me by this time next year!

In my efforts to become the new and improved Leigha I bought a dress this week! I know, I know, it's shocking! It's one of those flowy dresses that is really long, and I love it! So I bought two more. I am starting to feel better about how I look so why not buy something that makes me feel cute!

TJ is out of town this weekend so I am on my own. I took the day off today and spent it by the pool with Kaytie and her friend Melissa. It was nice! I put my phone out of arms reach and just relaxed. I lathered up with sunscreen and enjoyed the day! I just wish I had put more on my legs...they look pretty red right now! This evening I came home to continue my day of relaxation, put on some Sinatra, filled my bath with bubbles and started the latest Sookie Stackhouse book! I have got to learn that in a day and age of electronics and being able to carry work with you at all times that it is a MUST to turn it off every now and then. Things will go on if I take a day off! I don't need to check my email every 5 minutes! Enjoy just being with people and not constantly checking to see if something else needs your attention! For the love of Pete! It's really sad, the way we have become! 

Now that things have slowed down at work and life is getting back on track I will get back to blogging once a week. I know you guys have missed me! :)

My remaining goals for this weekend simply include getting my house back in order and enjoying Father's day with my dad since he just moved back to Oklahoma! 

Talk to you soon,
Leigha
