- 13 pounds

So as of today I have lost 13 pounds in two weeks. Not too bad at all. I am not "doing" anything; no weight watchers or whatever. Just reading every label and having NO red meat, butter, or cheese.

I'm doing this to relieve my arthritis symptoms and it was working well; I felt better than I had in over a month, but then yesterday we spent 5+ hours in the car and it hobbled me. Hopefully that will correct itself quickly.

While we were in Sacramento to pick up my kids, we went to Ikea. Man, I love that store! I got some suspension rails and hooks and baskets to try to free up counter space in my kitchen and closet organization stuff. We spent two hours in Ikea and for me, it wasn't enough. I can't wait to go back!

Way to go, Stacy! You are taking control of your health and I'm so glad it's paying off! The weight loss is just a great added benefit, eh? :)
I'm with you on the love for Ikea! I just went on Saturday in Phoenix and got a dresser for Kyndall. I had to go straight to the warehouse part so I wouldn't be tempted with everything, though...I could spend hours in there, but it's no fun for a 5-yr-old (until you hit the kids' section, and then there's no getting them outta there!)!
