It's that time of year again...finally!

After a long break from the great game hockey season is finally here! We went to see the Caps at Verizon Center last night and had a great time even though we lost 2-1. The Caps looked pretty good (especially the defence) and we look forward to a promising season. It was a little strange feeling patriotic singing O Canada and then not rooting for the Canadian team (I justify this by saying that there are Canadians on every team). Chris and I purchased t-shirts with the new (old) Caps logo - we will post pics of them soon.

In other news, Chris and I are still doing Weight Watcher's and both have enjoyed success. I have lost 30 lbs and Chris is down an astonishing 66 lbs. He was also able to stop taking Metformin, a medication his doctor prescribed for diabetes (he was on the cusp). That itself was no small accomplishment! Yesterday at our WW meeting, a woman asked Chris how he was able to lose the weight and stop his medication. She had been at the meeting a few weeks back when Chris was talking about coming off his medication and she was moved to tears (she also has to take medication for diabetes and sees a nutritionist). He is an inspiration, proof positive that change is possible. I am so very proud of him!
