Today I weighed in at 167.6 lbs.  Although my May goal was 167.5, at least it feels good to hit it before the end of June.  Ha!

This morning the boys and I had a lovely time hanging out with Steph and Monroe at Starbucks and then shopping at Target.  I just love my little niece Monroe.  She makes me smile every time I see her.  Especially when Steph told me the story about her literally throwing her bottle across the room because Steph had tried adding a bit of formula to it.  Hilarious!  That girl has her mind made up about what she wants!  Mason was a rascal who kept running all over the store instead of staying close to me like he usually does and nothing seemed to work to get him to calm down and stay with me.  Even Target employees were calling his name.  At least he listened to them.  I can only go so fast with Max in the cart to try to keep up with Mason.  Thankfully, Steph was there to help out.  These are really crazy times in our lives with such little ones, but I'm so glad to have Steph, Mark and Monroe here to do this together!

I'm leaving in a bit to go get my mom at the airport.  She'll be with us until next Thursday!  Yay!

Back on the wagon...again

The last few months have been busier and crazier than I expected.  Quitting my job brought extra stress for me both before I quit (through the month of April) and after I quit (through the month of May) probably due to finishing up things at work and then adjusting to a new routine at home.  I'm so happy that I made the decision to be home full-time and haven't regretted it for one moment.  Now that I'm feeling more relaxed and peaceful after finishing the transition, I'm able to focus more on my weight-loss goal.

Here's what's been happening for me in the last few months.  I had been hovering in the low 170's and I got discouraged that I wasn't making any progress and didn't feel like writing much of anything on my blog because I had nothing good to report.  I know I should stay open about everything, the good and the bad, but I didn't feel up to it.  The first 10 pounds were much easier than these next 10 are proving to be.  Last Saturday I turned 30 and am only more motivated than ever to get to a weight I am comfortable with.

I weighed June 1, which is kind of like my final May weigh-in since I didn't get to that on the 31st. I was 168.0.  This morning for my regular Friday weigh-in I am 169.4 lbs.   I am glad that I'm more consistently in the 160's now.

I've taken a new look at my eating habits and exercise (or lack-there-of) and am committed to continuing on my journey.  I'm watching my portions more closely and have already made exercise a bigger priority.  I'm getting ready to feel some more success coming my way!
