Quick recap on weigh in this am:
Nick: -4.4 total: -13.1
Me: -1.4 total: -9.7
I was a little disappointed with my small loss. I know its still a loss and I should be happy it wasn't a gain, I just thought it was going to be a little more. I really wanted to hit 10lbs down, but on the bright side, I should be able to do it next week :) Nick is kicking my butt! But that's to be expected, right? He is a guy and has a bit more weight to loose than I do.
I'm trying to find more ways to be active during the day. It's not as easy to stay busy during the day when you don't have to be at work. I have been getting up, usually between 6am and 7am. This seems to help with my overall attitude and I don't feel like I'm wasting the day sleeping. It's nice to have some time to myself as well because Noah is gone to school, Nick is gone to work, and Nolan will usually sleep until 9ish. I also haven't felt like I need to take a nap when Nolan does. This is something new! I used to sleep in with Nolan and then still take a nap with him. I thought I wouldn't be able to get through the day without a nap. I have now gone 3 full weeks without taking a nap with him, or even feeling like I WANT to. It's amazing how good I feel.
Anyway, back to my original idea... I need to find things to keep Nolan and I busy during the day. It has been so cold out, we are not getting to play outside hardly at all. It's so easy to get sucked in to sitting on the couch watching cartoons etc. Don't get me wrong, it's not like we sit on the couch all day or anything, I just want to come up with a hobby that will be fun not only for me, but Nolan also. Next week, he is going to help me make a fabric covered headboard. But once that's done....what's next? I don't really care to scrapbook. We've made decorated picture frames before. We bake sometimes. I just want to keep our butts off the couch! Any suggestions would be great!



Jay always loses weight faster than me. You have been doing such an awesome job, and I am SO HAPPY for you and Nick!! :)
