I've been weighing myself daily eventhough they say you shouldn't, but who is THEY anyway? I just mark it in my notebook that I use to write down everything I eat for the day. (I use my Saturday mornings as my way of calculating the weekly loss) I'm supposed to be at 26 points or under for points and I do well! My day off is Saturday, there is absolutely NO hope for counting as more often than not, we go to the bar while grandma watches Michael. It's my night out! Hence why I use Saturday mornings! Anyway, today I weighed 212.0 putting me at a 10.5 lb. loss since May 1st. Excellent!

Strange how long my day seemed when I had no work to do. I am a stay at home mom, but I work p/t out of my home doing data entry processing rebates. My bf decided to be late returning home today, leaving me to miss my work truck! So, I had no work to do. While Michael napped, I had to find other things to do. I cleaned, I watched TV, I pulled out Dr. Phils Weight Solution book (and didn't read it) and I searched Dotti's WL Zone for restaurants to get points values on foods that I can eat, if we have to go to one of them! Not that I opt to eat out and especially eat at fast food restaurants, but you know sometimes you end up there. At least now I know a few choices that at least won't ruin my day!

My lil guy started crawling yesterday, it's just amazing! Anyone who has a newborn or are even expecting a child, take it all in and don't hurry! Months ago I couldn't wait for him to lift his head, to roll over, to smile his first smile, to laugh, to sit up and to crawl. Now that he does all that, I find myself wanting that sweet little helpless bundle of joy he once was! Though on the other hand he's turning into such a wonderful little boy and learning so much, it's incredible to watch! I was blessed to have an extremely easy going newborn and he still is, at 7 1/2 months, that same way. He is so calm and loving, rarely ever fussy, always smiling and such a joy to be around! Must take after me ! :]
