Happy Monday!

Although it is gray and blah and rainy today, it was a beautiful weekend for the start of spring! Saturday was 72 degrees, and Hubby and I went into Boston for the day. First stop was Barmakian Jewelers. He has been doing Weight Watchers and has lost about 20 lbs. Well, because of his weight loss, his wedding band was literally falling off his hand. I've lost almost 40 lbs and my rings are no where close to need resizing...WTF??? My fingers are like breakfast sausage links. My ring finger is a 9.5...even when I was thin my finger was only an 8.5...again, WTF??? Oh well, I did some "wish list shopping" while I was there. So, here is what made my wish list:

Diamond Bangles (I heart bangle bracelets!) The second one is my fave



Emerald Ring (Emerald is my birthstone)


And my favorite, diamond earrings that match my wedding rings :)



Maybe I will get something, maybe I won't, we shall see! But, if anyone is jewelry shopping, I highly recommend Barmakian, they are awesome! They cleaned and buffed my rings, and fitted Hubby's wedding band while we waited. And you can't get better service. We still see the same salesman who originally sold Hubby my engagement ring 3 years ago, and still knows us by name when we come in.

After Barmakian, we went to Brasserie Jo for lunch. We love it there, and have not been in a while. It is in the Commonwealth Hotel on Comm Ave, and we were able to get a window seat, which is great for people watching. Later in the spring and summer they have outdoor seating, which is nice. We got a half shellfish tower, and some french onion soup. Surprisingly, for a port city, Boston does not have that many restaurants that are by the water, or that have outdoor seating. After a nice lunch, we went down Newbury Street, and could not believe how many people were out! It was nice to be able to get out and enjoy the weather.

It is nice to be able to go out and eat. Of course, I have good days and bad days. Friday and Saturday were really good days. Did great out to eat, but Sunday and today, eating is just not working for me. Oh well. I did lose 3 lbs though, for a total weight loss of 38 lbs. I should be at 40lbs by Wednesday. 3 lbs a week seems to be the average weight loss for me. It's a little slower than I anticipated, but it is steady, and steady works for me! More to come next week!!
