So I weighed in on Monday at 198.8 which is a 1.2 pound loss from the week before. Not bad. I'll take any loss at this point. It's the gains that are discouraging and make it hard not to cheat and to keep yourself going. I just joined a 12 week weight loss challenge with 15 other women and it starts today. We all put money into a pot and whoever loses the most weight (by percentage) and inches wins the money. It would be so awesome to win but overall I just find being in a challenge like that extra motivating. I can't wait to see all of our final results on January 30th! I hope to be somewhere around 175 by then. Here's hoping anyways. I had to weigh myself today so I'm going to change my weigh in days to Thursdays instead of Mondays. I was 198.2lbs this morning.
It's definitely hard to fit exercise in these days though. I want to work out once the boys are in bed but most nights by that time I'm exhausted and just want to go to sleep after watching a show or two on TV. A couple days ago I did manage to go out and walk with the kids in the double stroller for an hour. I walked pretty quickly and didn't stop and was very happy with myself after getting out and doing that since I'm not usually one to go out once it starts getting cold out. Of course though after dinner I was pooped and ended up going to be at 9pm lol.
I don't have time now but I will post the kids' Halloween pictures in my next entry. It was raining here so I basically carried Cody from door to door so it wouldn't take so long and so he wouldn't fall into a puddle or something. We took him to about 20 houses in our townhouse area. He can't say "trick or treat" yet but people thought he was cute and gave him lots of candy anyways. He enjoyed it and seemed like he couldn't believe these people he didn't know were giving him treats lol.
As of Friday I have started putting Miles in a separate room to sleep for naps and it's going really well. He sleeps a lot longer because he's not being woken up by our noise and mostly by Cody's rambunctiousness. These days he wakes up once in the night which is pretty awesome I think. Every time he is awake he is tired again after being up about an hour and a half tops and then he needs another nap. He is 3 months tomorrow already! I am going to weigh and measure him myself since he doesn't have a doctor's appointment until he's 4 months. He's probably around 14 pounds and 23 inches I'd guess. He's recently moved into wearing all 6 month clothes. I absolutely love making him laugh these days. What seems to work the best is when I kiss his cute little cheeks a million times in a row really fast. It's so adorable and he seems to love it :)
Not much is new with Cody. He likes to get into things as usual and his favorite thing to do these days is hitting a ball around with a plastic golf club he has. And he has this bucket of blocks that he drags into the kitchen to stand on to see what I'm doing when I'm in there lol. He has an appointment for speech therapy at the end of the month and I'm very curious to see how that will go.
Anyways gotta go. Miles is up!
