Before After

happy Valentine's Day

So I lost 3 pounds at weigh in this week. Yea!! I am going to hope that the bars had nothing to do with it.  My Valentine's Day is not the greatest, because I am away from my sweetheart.  My hubby is trying to sell the house and finishing school, so we have to wait to have our Valentine's Day- but it isn't as depressing as I thought it would be.  I have been concentrating on v-day with the kids.  We wrote out their valentines last night, and this morning we made cookies for the grandparents.  After my ds gets home from school we are going to deliver them.  I also thought ahead and made some 1-point cookies for myself and used that nasty store bought frosting on the kids' cookies so I wouldn't be tempted to lick the knives as we were decorating.

I feel so good today. Physically, I am still a little sick and my bed sucks! So I did not sleep well, BUT I am just in a really good mood today, and I think that it has a lot to do with the choices that I have made.  I haven't cheated or stopped for fast food, so I am not beating myself up like I usually do.  I like feeling this way a lot more.

So my next big thing is figuring out excercise.  I was walking with my mom twice a week.  We stopped because she got sick, but she is better so maybe we will start that again.  I can't do tapes when my kids are up, because they want to do it with me (which means ON me).  Maybe I need to get up earlier- which shouldn't be a problem since I don't sleep on my concrete slab of a bed anyway.  Did I mention that my bed is uncomfortable?  my husband has the king with him and I miss it so much.

I think that I also want to start making weekly goals.  I am so amazed at how much fun it is to blog.  I look forward to it, and I think that it helps me stay focused on what I want.  It really is for me- in fact I didn't even know that anyone else could see my blog until I got a comment- but if anything that I say can help anyone or inspire or even entertain than that is even better, right?

Great loss!

Amber I'm a WW as well -- love it.  Count your points, move a little and it works!  Nothing forbidden either.

Sorry you are separated from your DH.  Glad you are feeling better (no more granola bars for you!).  And as the single working mother of four... there is a place for canned frosting : )

Have a great Valentine's Day and keep up the great work!
