Lost weight but it’s probably water. After gaining weight for the holidays I had noticed that things were a little tighter. Then today I noticed that things don’t fit (I was on the border before). So the weights going down, but the fit of my clothes is getting worse. I’ll haven’t been doing a stellar job. I guess I will give it a little more effort. It’s hard to change such ingrained habits!

I have to say that I am up earlier than I would be if I didn’t have children, but I want to get up earlier. I want to be up when he first wakes, not after 20 minutes of him pulling my hair. He’s a baby so he gets by with it for now, but no one else gets to annoy mommy until she’s awake. I should be up before him so I get my shower done and get a jump on the day. We could spend more time doing fun things rather than waiting for mommy to shower (or load the dishwasher- but I have a separate goal to do that the night before). I guess I should start attacking this by going to be earlier. Tonight the goal is 11pm (we can’t start too fast… baby steps).
Some people are really organized about this thing. I plan on just reading whatever interests me at the time. Right now I am reading “Mindless Eating”. It’s a book about the psychology of eating. I thought it would be interesting and also help with my goal of losing thirty pounds. Last month I read “Fatland”. I used to say I didn’t have time to read, but recently decided that if I didn’t watch as much television, then I had plenty of time to read after my son went to bed. Three hours to be exact.
