Day One gone...but not forgotten

Ugh so I was having problems sticking to my diet....getting to my computer to post....had out of town company....ahh well I have no good excuses!

Saw a friend of mine yesterday, she is looking GREAT and got me motivated to get moving again. I know I will feel better once I get 5-10lbs of weight off.

I am back at work today, so far 100% on plan.So here's to a fresh start! Tomorrow morning I am going to get up at 6am to walk/jog for 30 mins and work on getting ALL my water drank and cutting out my soda again (even though its diet, It cant be helping).

So my goals for this week are:
1. Get up and work out for 30 mins each morning
2. Drink at least 50oz of water
3. No soda or dessert

down a bit more

Well the weight is not magically falling off....but its slowly getting outa here. Down 1.2 today. I was hoping for more of a total loss for the month of June, but at least I lost some...and some is better than none. 5lbs. I need to get moving. I have my 10K in 3 and a 1/2 weeks and am lagging big time in getting moving for that. I just cant find the time. With not getting solid sleep at night (baby) I am not sure waking up at 6am to go run would work, during the day its over 100 and with 3 kids walking just wont happen, and at night P is busy half the time so that's a challenge too. I know excuses excuses. I need to just MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Tonight we are taking the kids to see Toy Story 3. I am just as excited as they are!!

hopeful

So its been HOT here....over 100 for days in a row. We have been doing tons of swimming. Trying to stay cool and keep busy. I have less than 4 weeks left at home. Bittersweet. I love being home..but truly NOT cut out to be a stay at home mom.

My son is three today. Hardly seems possible that I had him that long ago and that I have ANOTHER kid!

We have 2 wedding to go to this coming weekend/week. I went to Kohl's to search for a dress. Came out with a cute top to wear with a black skirt instead. I dont wear dresses typically so I am not sure why I went searching for one. At least the top I can wear to work when I go back. I am still having problems with my stomach being so wiggly and still sticking out a bit even though I am at my pre-preg weight. I need to lose at least 10lbs before I go back to work to avoid wearing maternity pants back!!

Cereal

So I have discovered over the past weeks I have been home that cereal is a BIG trigger for me. I eat a normal size, measured out bowl of healthy cereal. AND I WANT MORE! and more and more. I swear I could eat an entire box! I eat good for me cereal with low fat milk....why oh why do I want a trough of it! LOL

weigh in

-.8

Not super pretty, but its DOWN which is good. I have only been counting points for 3 days, so I think next week will show a bigger loss.

Weight Watchers

I want to join, but to cheap to spend 40$ a month. So I got out all my old books and my points calculator. My handy notebook and pen for logging what I eat. My friend checked my points and since I am bf I get 38! That seems like a LOT! So today marks day one....

Sat is my sons party. He is turning three...makes me sad, its hard to believe he is almost 3! He wants a Toy Story party. We are doing pizza and cupcakes at the water park since it will probably be about 90 degrees out. I am going to make some Woody sheriff badges and some Jessie cowgirl hat cookies for favors. I was doing really great with my cake business, then got pregnant, got tired and haven't put much effort into it. So I am going to spend the next few weeks making stuff to get business going again.

cheese stick 2
fiber bar 2
bagel thin 1
