My little diaper diva has slept from 6:30pm to 5am for the last 3 nights!!! I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to actually have real sleep as opposed to this broken sleep thing we have been doing for the past 6 months! I feel like I could climb a mountain, it is amazing how great you feel when you aren't sleep deprived! Now if I could only cure the short term memory loss (ie..mommy brain), I would be back on track!
Not so great though with the weight watchers weigh in last Monday. I worked out 4 days and then had a Superbowl party and gained 2lbs at the scale. However, I did get some good info that makes sense to me now. They said when you work out your muscles expand and retain water so since I had worked out that morning I was heavier at my weigh in partly due to water weight (and partly due to the packer Superbowl party, I'm sure!!) Anyway, that made me feel a bit better and is why when I weigh myself after the gym I weigh more than before! However, this week I am working out every day except Sunday and Monday just to make sure I am my lightest!! I really try not to just concentrate on the number at the scale but come on....it is so hard! I just want to see the pounds come off much faster than they do! It does help to also take measurements though, I have lost 6 inches over all of my body since starting! I would recommend Weight Watchers to any mom out there who wants to lose a few pounds! It really does work (just maybe not as fast as we all want) but it is a healthy way of losing weight and hopefully changing my lifestyle so I can keep it off! I don't really consider myself a food-aholic, I just tended to grab less-than-healthy snacks on the fly, didn't eat breakfast, and by dinner I was so starving, I would scarf my food down! So this is giving me a lesson in better eating and how to properly fuel my body.
Keep sending in those "You know you're a mom when...." quotes. I have another for you... "You know you're a mom when you turn doing laundry into a game by having a "scavenger hunt" through the house....and it is a never ending game!" Take care and as always thanks for listening.
