Just got down with this weeks meeting, and while the results aren’t as good as in the past nor as much as i wold have liked to see, I am still losing weight. From last week I am down another 0.4 pounds. This brings my total weight loss to 5.8 pounds. Some progress is better than no progress.

Star Spotting
Melissa and I went down into Ypsilanti tonight to listen to some free music at the Crossroads Music Festival and we ended up seeing a start! Michigan has been trying to bring in the film industry to help stimulate the state economy, especially with The Big 3 having such financial difficulties. They have been doing pretty good with it too, and tonight we got some first hand experience with it. While down in Ypsilanti listening to the music we saw that one of the side streets was blocked off to vehicle traffic, and down at the end we saw a bunch of people standing around. Being curious we decided to walk down and see what was going on. When we got down there we realized it was one of the locations, and at the moment the active set, for a new movie that is filming in the area. The movie is called Stone and tonight we got to watch a shot being filmed with a scene that Robert De Niro is in, and we got to catch a glimpse of him! Below are a couple of pictures that I snapped with my phone, one is of the set, and the other is of one of the production trucks. Clicking the images will bring you to the full size image file. The scene was at a party store called The Beer Cooler located at 22 S. Washington Street. I have to say, this was a pretty neat experience.

Our little Ballerina
For a while now Kylie has said she wanted to join ballet, and today she finally got her wish. We needed to wait until she was old enough to join a class, find a class she could join, and find a way to fund it. All of those things came together today. Mommy found a class down river that she could join and Mimi said she would finance it. So that is what they did today. Kylie, Mommy and Mimi all went and got Kylie signed up for ballet; registered for the class, and purchased all the necessary garments. Kylie is super excited, and looks ready to dance! Her first class is going to be on June 23rd and I am hoping to be able to make it to see some of her classes.
They are going to be weekly at 4:30, but the problem is that they are an hour away from me, so even if I can get out of work early, I may not be able to make it down to the classes. I will try very hard to make it to at least one though, as i really want to be able to see her dance.
And now there is less of me
Just had my weekly weigh in, and this has been my best week yet! I am down 2 pounds this week for a total weight loss of 5.4 pounds! This puts me 1/6th of the way to my 10% goal of 29 pounds of weight loss. I am really excited about this and hope to keep the momentum going in this direction. I am clearly not expecting each week to be this good, but any weight loss is always better than any gain. Let’s hope next week is a loss also.
