First Monday Weigh-In and Thoughts on LOST

I've decided that every Monday I am going to blog about how much I lost (or didn't lose), to help keep myself accountable. I'm not going to post my actual weight since I'm way too embarrassed about that, but maybe I will once it gets to a less-embarrassing number. :) I finished Day 7 of the Shred tonight, and we went on a walk today (about a mile or so) as well. We ate well over the weekend, and today I actually didn't even really eat lunch since we were out and about and I didn't have anything with me. I don't want to make a habit of that, but it did save me on calories today. Bryan and I both struggle with the portion size issue of eating right--we'll eat healthy things, but get in trouble because we eat too MUCH of the healthy thing. ARGH! I really think our portion size ideas are so screwed up in America! Sometimes (a LOT of times actually) I really wish I was one of those people who could eat whatever they want, not ever think about calories/fat and not gain an ounce...sigh...Anyway, it's a good start to this week, although I still haven't been to the grocery store, and I NEED to get there before I cave and eat things I shouldn't!

In other news, the series finale of LOST was last night, as I'm sure you know! Bryan and I are HUGE "Losties" and have been eagerly anticipating/dreading the finale. I have been processing how I felt about the end all day today, and I have a few thoughts.

1. I love how they wrapped up the show as far as the characters were concerned. I cried like a baby when they were all hugging and happy together in the church, and cried some more when Vincent (whom I just love) laid down next to Jack as he died. The show was sooo character driven, so it felt like a good resolution, although very bittersweet (and at first extremely confusing!).

2. I DO wish that they had answered a few more of the BIG questions about the funky island stuff. Why Aaron was so important, why the numbers were on the hatch, what Dharma really had to do with everything (was it just filler??), how The Woman got there and why the island really needed protecting, what would really happen if the MIB got out into the world, why Faraday was crying when he watched the news about the plane, and I could go on and on! (Ok, maybe more than "a few"!) I realize that the writers could do whatever they wanted, and I know they wanted some things to remain a mystery, but I still wish some of the more important questions had been answered. Sometimes I reallllly wish they would make a movie...but it's not going to happen, sadly.

3. We're going to start over with Season 1 on DVD now. It might make me angry about the questions not being answered but I'll be happy to see the characters again, alive and kicking. :) (I am SUCH a dork, I KNOW!)

And lastly, just for fun, a few cute pics of my little boy out and about. Love him...he makes my heart overflow with happiness (well, except when he is laying on the floor screaming because he doesn't want to go wherever we're telling him we're going...did that happen today? Surely not...)
