Three weeks down and a new car

Well, I'm officially three weeks into my 29X29 challenge and I'm happy to report that I'm right on track. I've lost 8.5 pounds so far, which leaves me 20.5 more pounds to lose. When I look at it that way it feels like a crazy big number, but as they say, I didn't gain it overnight so I'm not going to lose it overnight. Patience has never been a virtue of mine, but it's something I'm working on for multiple reasons...

Six more pounds until I'm halfway there. I know it's really doable. Just daunting. Anyway, I'm feeling great and working hard. Except for maybe this weekend. Dad's grilling out for my sister's birthday. I can't make any promises. A girl's gotta live a little though, right? Stay tuned.

On another, completely unrelated note, I got a new car! Well, new to me. It's a loooong story that thankfully ends well. It's not something I was planning on getting, but I LOVE it. My friend Bethany has (or used to)? one and we took it on a girl's trip last year. I casually mentioned to Justin about how I liked it and how smooth it was on our road trip. Fast forward about 18 months, I was car shopping (one of my least favorite things in life) and not finding anything that I really loved. Justin suggested we look at the Cadillac SRX, their SUV and the one I had mentioned liking more than a year earlier. We did, found a great deal and that was it! It's a 2008, so it's not brand new, but it feels like it to me! We're (read: Justin) having fun learning and playing with all of the bells and whistles. It's the first used car that I've ever bought and so far it's the best car that I've ever bought. Here are a couple of iPhone shots. It's technically silver, but it looks light blue in the sunlight.

Oh my gosh!! Congratulations! You are going to love it. I want another one when my car dies one day- I like the SRX that much. Have so much fun.
