Exciting New Competition!

So this is Friday's post I never posted it...
I have done my weigh in drum roll please.......146.9!!!  Yay!  I love it.  So 21.9 lbs to go to reach my goal weight.  I finally convinced my hubby to be in a little fun competition.  To lose 20 lbs by Dec.6, which is his birthday.  I am feeling great today already.  Woke up at 6am and did Zumba, thanks to an awesome friend!!!  I am now planning how I am going to stay moving and what I should eat for the next 10.5 weeks! This is gonna be awesome and I WILL beat my husband!!!  He is really good at competition and usually wins.  But he needs to move over because the weight loss champion is here.  =) 

This is what I am adding to it...
Well my good friend and her husband have joined our competition.  I think it helps motivate me to try harder so this is going to be fun. I do have one concern.  I always feels great at 125 lbs and my goal is to get back there.  But, I am afraid my hips spread again with this last baby. I guess we will see when I get closer to my goal weight.  If so I might have to stop because I would look pretty silly being a toothpick with big hips..no really, I have super skinny legs and thighs so that would be funny! 

Here's a bit of a problem I am having with motivations these days.  It is raining which means I have less energy and feel a little on the down side.  I don't do well in the winter.  I have been attempting to get up at 6am and exercising.  That is happening less and less everyday.  I already struggle as a morning person and now with the weather.  I am not sure how to get more motivation for that.  I can not ask my husband because he works long hard hours. Asking him to loose an extra hour of sleep would just be mean.

I have been busy doing my never ending to do list.  Just the odds and ends that need to get done.  Go to goodwill, drop off dishes at SIL's house, etc.  I already have a busload of housework and children to manage.  I am feeling pretty crazy here.  But I can say that things around here are a lot more mellow.  There is more of a routine and that's great.  The baby is in a transition of not being a baby to being a toddler.  I try working on words and sounds and body parts but he doesn't seem to be learning most of it. Even though I know he is learning most of it and keeping it, it is hard to figure out what to do with him! 

My week consists of housecleaning, grocery shopping, cheer practice, counseling appt, and knocking at least 5 things off my list.  What does your week look like?

Oh my goodness! I am so excited about all of us doing this! I'm also kind of freaking, it makes it like set! You know what I mean? Ok, so, I did my fun workout game while baby sleeps and need to go fold clothes!!! You know the never ending laundry, it always lurking, watching, waiting, and highly irritating, hahahaha. Needs to be done though, got to stay clean! Anyhow, I've been trying to figure a way to get going better. I just will do things when I can and try to finish each day with a smile and realize what I don't finish, I will at a different time, ugh, don't like saying that, but it's true and happens enough that I work hard at excepting it. This week will be the start of better focus, I think, a way of looking calmer yet determined. I know somedays I will need help, but overall this is what I know is and needs to be:) Oky doky, I'm going to send you a message in a bit. Have a happy day!!!
