Week 2 weigh in in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

I don’t feel like writing a long entry right now since the baby is asleep and I want to use that precious time doing something else but I just wanted to note that I lost another 2lbs this week! So I am at 205.8lbs now. The crazy thing is that I originally started trying to lose weight June 27th and I weighed in at 214.6lbs then so I’ve actually lost 8.8lbs already!! Can’t wait to be out of the 200’s forever! I was pretty perfect with my eating and steps this week (got to 10,000 or beyond every single day even though it sucked sometimes lol). I have to weigh in at 202.9 at least on July 29/30th in order to win my Dietbet. So about 3 more pounds to lose. As much as it sucks, I’m going to make sure I’m perfect with my eating/walking until then because I was kind of crazy to do that dietbet in the first place and can’t lose that money ($133 buy in....what was I thinking??)

My fitbit is driving me crazy! I have to charge it twice a day because it’s 2 years old and not working right. But I don’t really want to have to buy a new one. I will probably have to though cuz it really does motivate me to lose weight and I love knowing how many steps I’ve walked. I called the company and they said the warranty is only one year so the most they can offer me is 25% off if I buy a new fitbit on their website. No thanks.

I was out on a walk with the kids this week and suddenly the front wheel of my double BOB stroller just came off. Whaaaaat? It was crazy! Turns out a screw on the side of the wheel is bent and so the wheel can’t go back on unless I get a new part. I called BOB and they’re sending me one but let me tell you, it really sucked to walk home pushing the stroller on it’s back 2 wheels with the baby in one arm. I was sweating for sure! At least I still have a single stroller I can use.

Gotta get Miles some cereal now....we’re taking the boys to “A Day out with Thomas” this Sunday. I can’t wait to see their faces when Thomas drives up! We took them 2 years ago but I’m sure they don’t or barely remember :)
