One goal made!!!

I went to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning, as I do every Saturday morning... and I was feeling kind of "thin", so I was actually looking forward to stepping on scale (some weeks I just close my eyes and pray that I stayed the same with no gain... he he he) So anyways, I lost 4 pounds this week!! WOO HOO!!!!! :-) I also, hit my 10 % goal (meaning I've lost 10 % of my weight since I started), AND I have lost a total of 20.2 pounds!! I feel so good!!! I finally went and bought a few new pairs of pants last week because my other ones were falling off. My goals this past week were to take a mulit-vitamin every daily and drink a glass of water with each meal, which I was pretty consistent with. This week, I will continue those 2 things and pay particular attention to what we call "B.L.T.'s" (bites, licks, and tastes). I am so guilty of taking a bite of Jake's left over food, snacking on things and not writing them down, and doing "taste testing" while I am cooking. All of these things add up and make a difference. Don't get me wrong. I'm not in a race to lose the weight as fast as I can. I know it took me 10 months to gain it and losing it too quick isn't healthy. It's all about baby steps and enjoying the PROCESS, too!!

On the home front, Chris and I are going to see a hockey game tonight. I've never been before... so it should be fun!! I'm sure I'll see lots of "goals" scored tonight, too! ;-)

Jake is wonderful! He is ecstatic that grandma is coming over to babysit tonight with more new puzzles. He is feeling better and just a joy to spend time with. I cherish every cute little thing that comes out of his mouth. His new thing is saying, "I have a good idea....." (yeah right!!) For example, last night the good idea was that he should sleep on the floor. Who knows... LOL!

Michael is still recovering from his cold. It's getting better, but he is still congested. He is having major pooping issues, too. He isn't going very often and gets extremely fussy. I'm worried that something is wrong with him, but his doctor says it is normal. Who knows... I'm going to keep my eye on it and monitor it. I just feel so bad for him because his belly hurts so bad!!

I'm off to hop in the shower and make myself beautiful for the hockey game. :-)
