Biggest Loser update!

Today was my second weigh-in and despite not doing so well with the diet last week I lost 2lbs! Yippeee! I am rather pleased with this. I know it my not be a lot but at least I didn't gain and that was my biggest fear. Tomorrow after school we have a meeting to announce the winning team for the week. I think our PTO team has a pretty good shot since I think everyone was able to post a loss for the week. I was able to get a quick workout in over at my mom's on the eliptical machine this afternoon and chased after Erik and Sarah most of the day. My goal is to get in at least 20 minutes of workout time tomorrow but we will see how it goes. Sometimes being a mom means there just aren't enough hours in the day!

This Week

OK so I'm not the greatest at blogging. So Tuesday we kicked off Biggest Loser, my starting weight 195lbs. Ugh! I have been a lot more conscious about what I have been eating this week and I have been walking and getting more stuff done at home. Tomorrow at weigh in we'll see if it has made any difference. I don't think that I have lost too much I just hope that I haven't gained!

Joey only had school on Thursday this week because it was is Wednesday off and there was no school on Monday! I really do not like this Mon., Thur, every other Wed. schedule. It creates situations like this week were they really have way too much time off. Not only was I ready for him to go to school Thursday but so was he. I feel sorry for the Kindergarten teachers because it really must create chaos in the classroom when they have that much time off.

The past 24 hours!

Yesterday I crocheted Erik and Sarah cute little stocking hats! They were so quick and easy now all the boys want one and so does Mike. I thought that I would try and make them this weekend but I woke up this mornig to discover I have different plans for today. My water bed sprung a leak and now I have to drain it, patch it and clean up my room! Ugh I am praying that this is all I get right now because for some reason when my life rains it pours and I really don't think I could handle a down pour right now. I guess Mike is going to have to work some overtime so that we can buy a new bed, I am tired of my waterbed and the damage it can cause.

Biggest Loser!

So the boys' school is having a biggest loser contest and the PTO is sponsoring a team to compete against the staff. Guess who is the PTO team captain? Mike has agreed to join me on this journey and also be on our team! Our first official weigh in will be on Monday. The contest will run until the end of March so wish us luck. I will be brutally honest and even post my weekly weights. Let's see how much I can lose! When this is all done I will post before and after pictures.

A New Year!

Where does the time go? Here it is 2010 already! I have again set a new years goal to be better about blogging. So if my posts are boring I'm sorry!
The boys did not go to bed until 9:30pm last night and then this morning Caleb and Jacob woke up at 5:30 this morning fighting. They have not stopped either. This is going to be a very long day!
