Emma...

So, these pictures were taken February 1st, but I forgot that they were on the camera. I gave the kids a snack one afternoon while they were catching up on a little TV. I wasn't really paying much attention as I was putting everything away and cleaning up some things in the kitchen. When I turned around Emma was at the couch with her bowl full of snacks. She placed the snacks on the couch and made a few attempts before she was able to make it up. Finally she made it! It took awhile before she decided on her final position. She just sat there eating her snack and she couldn't have been happier!

Jake's play

Today was Jakob's kindergarten class play. It was 'The Mitten' by Jan Brett. Jake was one of the narrators. He wore khaki pants, a light blue button down shirt and a navy striped tie. He looked very handsome. All the kids did a great job! Jake was on stage the whole time and just couldn't seem to sit still. All the kids seemed to remember their lines; which is a good thing! Once we got home, I remembered that we didn't bring the camera so all we have a the cabcorder recording. Maybe one day I'll take some pictures again!

Thank goodness!

I was very excited this morning when I got on the scale and saw that I had lost 5.4 pounds! After a slight gain last week, which was very detrimental, I was very excited! This makes the total lost of 15.3 pounds. I hope that I can keep up this momentum and get a lot of this weight off by summer! That would make me extremely happy!

Yippee!!!

So I weighed in this morning and was very pleased to learn that I have lost 4.8 pounds for the week! I was shocked and surprised! That is very encouraging to me! That's what will motivate me to keep it going!

Jake

So, Jake was up at about 2am crying and really complaining that his ear hurt. He couldn't sleep or get comfortable at all. He finally quieted down about 5am. We thought all was well and at about 6am heard some noise on the bathroom. Adam went to check and discovered that he had just thrown up twice. Needless to say, he didn't go to school and I ended up taking him to the immediate care center. He has fluid behind his eardrum and his eardrum is red. They gave him a decongestant and a prescription for an antibiotic. Hopefully we can get enough doses in him and he will sleep well tonight and be off to school tomorrow!!

Snow day

Jake had a snow day from school taoday. We ended up with about a foot of snow once it stopped snowing. I am so tired of snow and can't wait for spring!

Weigh in

I weighed in this morning and was a little disappointed that I only lost 1.6 pounds. I was hoping for a little more as it is still new. Oh well! I can't let that hold me back now. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is for me and I am doing this to be healthy! I just really hope that next week goes a little better.

Gym consult

At the gym they give free consults every 3 months to see what progress you are making. They check body fat, body composition, flexibility, strength, endurance. I think that is it. I knew it wasn't going to be good, but to hear and see it written on paper is more disappointing. I am using that as motivation to do this. I don't ever want to see numbers that are that bad again!!
