Weigh In Wednesday

Ok, we are on a see-saw this week: 159.3 up by .8 but I'm going to try an experiment. I'm going to tell you I'm going to lose 3lbs by next wednesday and we will see what the results are....



On a happier note... Lucas graduated preschool today.

This will make you laugh. He's a great Octopus!

The Wiggles

Lucas loves the Wiggles. It's a group of 4 men who are geniuses I think. They make up these silly little songs about anything, like say "Hot Pototoe" and then proceed to make millions by singing and dancing and kids LOVE it.
So we got tickets for Ted to take Lucas to the Wiggles in July. We aren't going to tell him til that day. I'm not sure if he would get the concept of a concert or event like this yet not having been to one before. But I'm sure he will go NUTS.
Lucas will probably be the oldest kid there but he loves their music. Just for the record he likes Bob Marley and Rascal Flatts too. So he's not completely nerdy! (Well, he will be if he still likes the Wiggles when he's 13).

Weigh-In Wednesdays

Last week's weight: 160.6
This week's weight: 158.5

Good week but from my original weight it's 1.6 lbs. I think that's a good start. I do need to keep up on my water. Yesterday I noticed I hadn't had any water until 1pm. A Iced Soy Latte doesn't count, at least in my book. And the workouts, I actually like working out but fitting it in with kids and a husband in grad school is a little hard.
But I will do it! I notice that when I actually have to "report" to people I'm more aware of what I'm eating.

See you next week!

Weigh-In Wednesdays

Ok, the first week I'm not starting the right way, going up instead of down.
Starting weight: 160.1
Today: 160.6
Now, .5 pounds isn't horrible but it's now .5 I need to lose now. So next week I'm hoping to be in the 150's.
Goals: Workout everyday and planning what I'm going to eat for the next day.

Weigh-In Wednesday

My friend started a weekly blog entry about her weight loss to create accountability and support. It was fun watching her weight go down (and up sometimes). I've kept my weight loss journey to myself for so long and it hasn't gotten me anywhere. So I'm going to steal her idea and do a blog entry every Wednesday about my weight. This is big for me since you know most women don't tell ANYONE how much they weigh. But this will create accountability for me. I'm going to e-mail friends and co-workers about my blog entry so they can help "keep me in line" in different areas of my life. So here goes....(I weighed in this morning with my new scale)...
Starting weight: 160.1
Good news about this weight, it's 10 lbs less than the beginning of 2009 and it's my pre-pregnancy weight before Nora.
Goals this week: more water everyday

Cubbies...

Lucas is in Awana Cubbies at my mom's church and loves it. He

memorizes verses every week and made some great friends. We are proud of the work he did this year with the Cubbies!
