Shall We Shrink??

I seriously am the most livid I have been in like, well, EVER! I went to pick up my boys from childcare and they had been swimming… my 3 year old was napping… IN HIS WET SHORTS! AND, she yelled at my 5 year old… IN FRONT OF ME! I was just like trying to get out of there asap. I’m never taking them back. They start school/new daycare Monday, so I am gonna see if a friend of mine can watch them tomorrow. I am so anxious and worried about them that I can’t even concentrate at work. This is ridiculous!!! I feel like such a bad mom for leaving them there this long…

On a lighter note, pun intended, I finally get to log a loss! 2.6 pounds!!! I got my coveted 5 pound star and I am so happy! I still have 5 more to lose to weigh what I did when we moved here, but it seems totally doable now. YAY! My hubby is gonna be so proud. So, my weekly loss over the whole 5 weeks is a little over a pound, and that is just fine by me!

Now if my hubbs would just get home so I can vent to him. I am so done with this day… Oh yeah, I forgot to mention… my boss laughed at me today. As in, he said he didn’t know what to do with the journal entry I gave him but laugh cause it was so messed up. WOW. He did later apologize and told me not to take it personally, and I did fix it (correctly, I might add) in record time which he was impressed about, but it still bugs me. I NEVER screw up -that- big. Oh well, live and learn.

And one more thing… I read a quote that said something like ~I wonder how many people have given up not knowing they were just about to reach their goal. Now there’s something to ponder.

I want SO badly to have lost at least 1.2 pounds so I can get my lil 5 pound star. Is that too much to ask?! I have been a good girl all week, used less than half of my flex points, and worked out on 5 of the 7 days. Seriously, throw me a bone! At home I am less… I am a good 7 pounds less in the morning than when I started. Maybe it is something about weighing in right before lunch. That sounds so ridiculous though–if I have really lost it, it would be gone consistently. I am obviously reaching for straws here. Anyway, we’ll see soon… only 5 hours til weigh in!

And, I am not going to focus on that number anyway. I am feeling so much better in so many other ways. In fact, tonight I am going to try on some old clothes and see where I am at. Monday was officially a month, but since I don’t get weighed til today I don’t know anything for sure. If I want to weigh what I weighed last year for the ball, I would have to lose 14 pounds, which sounds feasible in 3 months, but considering all I have lost so far this month is 4 pounds, it may not be. Hey wait, didn’t I *just* say I wasn’t going to concentrate on the numbers?! Damn being an accountant! I try to budget my food and project my weightloss! haha

Happy weigh in day for all you other hump day weighers!
