Gooooal(s)!

Went to my third ww meeting tonight and I'm down 10lbs! Yay! I received another 5lb sticker and a 5% sticker. Who knew stickers work for grown folks too =)

Since I'm making good progress I figure I need to start deciding on some goal/rewards. A manicure/pedicure, haircut, new clothes? Not sure what I want just yet. All of those things cost money and being a sahm right now kinda kills that idea.. Blah..

Well, here is my outline of goal/rewards and if there's money in the bank then I'll actually get it ;)

5% = Buy fresh fruit for yummy smoothies (✔)

10% = Pedicure

140lbs = Haircut

135lbs = Facial

133lbs = Jeans

130lbs = Shoes

128lbs = Two new tops

126lbs = Fall/Winter coat

125lbs = Spa Day/New clothes!

18 Pound Difference??

Yay, I started Weight Watchers last Monday! Fortunately, I found an old friend that was interested in re-joining. I'm super excited about getting back on WW since I did it before on my own and I lost 30lbs. This time I still need to lose about 30lbs but I would like to lose an additional 10.. hopefully. Weird thing happened though. I weighed that morning at home and it was 159.8 but at the meeting the chick wrote down 177.4 as my weight?? I know as the day goes you weigh more but ~18lbs?? I didn't pay attention when I was there but when I got home and told S how much I weighed he couldn't believe I didn't notice. I was 179lbs when my son was born at 40 weeks! It must be the mom brain for me not to notice.

Anyway, when I got home I got on the etools and just put my weight from that morning as my starting weight. I figure I will follow my weight off my scale and just be surprised when I hit goal at the meetings. So far so good with the new points system. I do need to get to the store for fruits and veggies but haven't had time or the courage to attempt that yet.

Another positive thing happened this week. I received an email from the Fairy Job Mother (edited due to the Magical Beings Protection Law)and she said she wanted to "call next week concerning employment"! Yes! Everyone I asked said this sounded very good =) I hope so! Of course, she could be calling to let me know she doesn't have anything but then she could have just told me that in the email, right? Please, please be a job! A career building job. A job that covers both daycare expenses. A job that could make the payments on a new car. A job that will be enough to purchase a bigger house in a better neighborhood. A job that will create stability and be enough to enjoy our lifestyle (we like french cheese, and?).

Cross your fingers for me, okay?
