January

The school district is sponsoring a weight loss contest. It's in a team format and I'm on a team with 4 other teachers. I decided I needed some accountability as I go from eating for three to ONLY eating for one. I'm not one to go on extreme diets, but I think I could do less snacking. Reid seems to be handling dairy ok, so I did have some ice cream at the birthday party two weeks ago. I also had pizza last weekend. It was soooooo good. I hadn't had any since September!

Today we did our first weigh-in after school. Luckily my teammates will be more supportive than competitive. Otherwise, I would not have signed up. My main goal in order to lose weight is to up my exercising. This has been one of the most mild winters I can ever remember, so today I decided to begin my new routine by going for run after school. I especially appreciated Mother Nature supplying the 68 degree weather. Perfect running temperature.

Tonight the boys and I skipped the van ride over to my parents house and we instead trekked over in the BOB.


At my parents' house, we've been using high chairs which attach to regular chairs. My brother's co-worker gave them to us. (THANK YOU!) She too has twin boys. (David- maybe you can forward her this link? Thanks!)


Have a good weekend!
