What a week!!!

Car problems - AGAIN!!!  And I had to get it fixed asap or my engine would blow up.  So, I've always had an attachment to my car and have driven it for 11 years this month!  But, after putting into it over half of what it's worth over the past six months, I'm beginning to think it's time for a new (used) car.  I'm going to start looking I think.  :(

Workout was INTENSE this morning!  One of the instructor's husband is beginning to teach and today was his first day.  Yikes.  I burned 100 more calories during kickboxing today than I normally do.  I feel like I've faltered this week - more little snacks and fatty snacks.  And I've come to realize I not only have one excuse, but multiple excuses for everything.  I skipped Wednesday morning because I was exhausted.  And to give you an example of my excuses, it went like this: I was tired Tuesday morning already (more than normal), one of the little girls is teething, so she had a rough day on Tuesday, I get up with Drake in the middle of the night and do not sleep great anyways, I have been getting up early and going to bed later than I should be for a month now, blah blah blah.  I was even up to let Drake out Wednesday morning, but I went back to bed.  I wish, really wish, I was one of those self-motivating people who just "does it", no matter what.  What is interesting about this week is I'm still down almost a pound and I've realized that by supper time, I really am not hungry.  I'm fueling my body with the correct foods and amounts during the day that eating just a lean protein meat with veggies is satisfying most of the time.  Interesting...  I guess they are right.  :)  I feel grateful that I have found a program that works.  I'm still deathly afraid of getting on the scale, and when it does go down, I almost don't acknowledge it at first for fear that it will go back up.  I need to stay positive though since I weigh less then I did before I got pregnant.  Yay.  Finally. 

I have updated goals for the next three weeks at Goals.  I want to increase my water intake by another 16-32 ounces.  I want to consistently lose two pounds a week, not just one to two.  I need to pre-plan every single meal.  Lastly, I want to drink pop on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only.  I've doing pretty good on all of them except for the pop.  Shocker. 

I thought it would be fun to show pictures of Brady when he was a baby in February, when he was 1 years old in February and now that he is 2.  It really shows how fast he is growing!  I need to get his 2 year pictures done asap!
