Cute baby and Chubby Mom

Ok, I'm baaaack! I don't understand where my time goes, i really don't. I'm still rolling along here on my journey...

Weighed in today and lost an additional 2.4 pounds, brining my total weight loss to -13.8. Yay me! I feel like I am really in my zone and this is making me happy. The bad news is, this weekend we're going to Las Vegas, Sin City. For me the sins are food. God how i love food! I need to stay focused and in my zone while I'm there, and so I have scouted out a WW meeting and am planning to WI while I am there, hopefully that will keep me real.

My husband has been trying to be as supportive as possible, but sometimes, i just really want to strangle him. He gets very weird about me immersing myself into this. I have been posting with a local WW group and reading up on big losers, and he gets very negative about it. I have tried to explain to him that it's just me keeping myself inspired and he doesn't understand. I think sometimes he has a hard time believing that i have "different" ways of doing things than him. I think part of the problem is he doesn't care how heavy I am and doesn't really understand why i want to lose weight. Uh, hello, I'm obese! Take a look at my BMI, it's not just kinda sort of, it's way in the obese section. I just want to get healthy and happy with my body image, i don't want to be limited to the things I can or can't do because of my size. I don't want my son growing up with a mom who can't do things with him. I need to do something about this, so i am.

Wish me luck on my trip and good vibes and OP wishes to everyone.

D'Oh! Two weeks and i've disappeared already! But never fear, i have done great! I lost 2.5 pounds this week, bringing my total to -9, yay me!

I had company at the house two weeks ago, and then i took a week to recover. I find it very strange how the days are passing and it doesn't really seem like i'm doing things, yet i'm busy every day. I think this motherhood thing is much more difficult then anyone let on. do you remember the old Army ads, "this is the toughest job you'll ever love?" Well so far that's motherhood to me. I am also officially unemployed, which is completely bizzaro. I have worked sine i was 15, so this should take some getting used to!

The Boss slept for 5 1/2 hours last night, mommy of course woke up 4 1/2 hours in and sat up waiting to be woken up. What the heck is going to happen to me once he actually sleeps through the night!?!

Back to the weight loss. I have been working out M-Sat so that is helping, i really need to drink my water, i think that will help. Everyone wish me an on point week!

Well the boss calls!

Out of town family is gone and now the cleaning begins!

I was terrified of going to weigh in yesterday knowing with the out of towners i wasn't good at all on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the week i ate under my points and walked but on Friday and Saturday I went overboard. I did a family dinner on Saturday with a nice fattening lasagna and a birthday cake and on Saturday we did a buffet. Yes, a buffet, i think i ate 5 deserts! Oy vey! So yesterday I went and weighed in and I lost 4.6 lbs. yay me! So my goal for this week is to stay OP and loss more this week. I need to start walking or something, but i haven't quite decided on what yet. I do the walk with the baby, but there is only so fast i can do that, especially with the current weather. So until then i need to really watch my points and not over eat.

The Boss (that's what my FIL calls Matthew) is doing great and the extended feedings,i am trying to push him to eat every 4-5 hours instead of the 3 hours he was doing. It's going pretty well except at night, when he stills wants to eat every third hour or so. the doctor said he should only be waking up once a night ad should be sleeping through by 4 months. this mothering thing is hard! I want to "establish" good sleeping habits that all the books talk about but at thhe same time, i don't want to leave the Boss to cry at night when he's hungry. Especially since he's still in the Bassinet beside the bed. That's the other thing the doctor said... That he could be in the crib. The crib is in the other room! It's too soon for that, he's way to little (9 weeks) besides, i'm a Jewish mother in training.

OK,i need to vacuum the house while the Boss is asleep, or find another way to procrastinate!
