Hi

So... it's been a week and a half sense I posted... whoops!

We haven't had a whole lot going on. I've been trying to be more cosciencious of what I eat, but I will admit to grabbing a couple bites of m&m's or chocolate once in a while.

I have been drinking lots and lots of water. My friend got me a big water bottle that holds 8 glasses of water, so it's easy to keep track of what I've been drinking. I've easily been able to drink about a bottle and a half of the water bottle each day- and I'm not forcing it at all, just drinking througout the day.

I've lost about 3 lbs last week, we'll see what I can do this week. It's not a huge number or anything, but for just exercising 3 times a week and being more conscious of what I eat- not snacking all afternoon- I was able to do that. I'll be happy if I can continue to have a 2-3 lb loss a week... slow and steady. If I start doing some cardio too, I might get a bigger number, but I haven't gotten myself to do that yet. :)

Yesterday and today I haven't had to do the half day drop off for Alyssa. She was sick yesterday, and although she feels better today- I'm keeping her home for the 24 hour rule of staying home from school 24 hours after the symptoms dissapear. She and Angela are playing really well today. Yeah!! Since I'll have 4 years in a row with a half day schedule for one child, it's nice on the few days that I don't have to do it. :)
