I could have done better yesterday.
I didn't do horrible, but last night for dinner I had 3 pieces of pizza and some watermelon (which wasn't bad). Today has been a little rough as well. I am really trying to cook healthy things for Madelyn because she doesn't eat very well. So, my new thing is to hide veggies in normal everyday food. This morning I made her pancakes with sweet potatoes in them. I ended up eating 3 pancakes with sugar-free syrup, but felt guilty because I bet that was about 9pts. Then this afternoon, the kids were crazy. I was trying to make 2 seperate lunches for me and Madelyn. I was making her Mac-n-Cheese, watermelon, yogurt and soy/chick nuggets. For me, I was having a turkey and cheese sandwich with a spinach salad. I ended up eating that AND about 1/2 cup of her macaroni.
So, according to my estimations (because I'm too lazy right now to calculate it into points) I think the sandwich was about 7, salad about 4 and mac-n-cheese probably 5? So as of right now, I have used 25 out of my 30point allowance. I.Suck.
I guess I'll have to have fruits and veggies for dinner tonight. I can manage it.
By the 2 week's SSTMBLC, I hope to be down to to 172 or better. I was down to 169 this summer...I can do this.

The SSTMBLC! Weigh in- Week 1!
On a toddler mom board I am a member of, we are doing the "Super-Secret Toddler Mom Biggest Loser Challange." What a mouthful! Yesterday was the first weigh-in and I'm still just down 3lbs. We have to take a picture of the scale and flick it off. I think it's to make sure that we're not holding on to anything to lower the weight. Either way it's funny.
Today, I'm going to be a "single mom" because Rob is out of town for the night. So, after I pick Madelyn up from Pre-School, I need write out a shopping list of all the things I need. I'm also thinking of maybe joining the YMCA's areobic classes. Yeah, me, mis-uncoordination joining an areobic class. I'd love to be the person standing behind me watching me screw up all the moves. Maybe Yoga would be better?
Anyways, I'm going to post the picture of the scale every two weeks. Here's today's weigh in and me flicking off the scale.

The hardest part for me is going to be to stick to a diet. Over the summer after having Luke I was so committed to losing weight. Over a 6 week period of time, I had lost 14lbs. That was the longest I have ever stuck to a diet and the most I've ever lost on one. For some reason, when I start dieting, I'll do really well in the beginning and lose a few pounds but then I stop. It's almost like I don't want to see myself succeed in losing the weight. I suppose I need to just take it one day at a time and try not to look at the big picture. Maybe it's just too overwhelming to know that it's not just a couple of lbs I need to lose but more like 40lbs.
Ughh..how am I going to make it??

Today is THE day
Well boys and girls, this will be the last day I spend being a chunk. I weighted myself this morning and I am 180. By the end of this month, I hope to be down to atleast 170 if not better. Because I'm still breastfeeding a couple times a day, I'm a little unsure of how many extra calories a day I need. I'm sure I don't need the extra 500 calories they recommend, but still need a little extra to make sure my milk supply doesn't drop. So I'll go right in the middle of the Weight Watchers points and say that I need about 30ish points a day.
My January goal is 170.
