Thank goodness its the weekend...

I am so glad to put this week behind me. I was totally off my mark all week - I mean Friday I ended up at the dealership to get my car and forgot my bank card to pay for damages... I mean repairs. Thank goodness they let me take it and return to pay after work. There were several incidents like that all week.
My husband and I went for our first counselling session Friday afternoon and left our little girl with a friend who has a daughter the same age. I was really worried going - I feel like the term counselling has such a negative conatation to it and told others we were going to the doctor. Don't get me wrong - we're going for a reason. My husband is struggling with his relationship with his parents and I want to support him and help him through it. I also want to help our relationship in the process to help us become better communicators and better parents. I felt great after the session - the counsellor gave us confirmation that we were doing some things right but she also gave us some guidance around things we can do differently. I have to say I thought it was very benficial and find myself looking forward to the next session.
On a more positive note, I went to WW this morning and lost 2.2 pounds! Yay me. For a grand total of 40.6 pounds. I have about 30 to go but I only have a little over 4 pounds to lose before I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. The other weight I put on after the wedding. I am very focused on getting this weight off before baby number 2. I want to start with a fresh slate and gain a normal amount of weight (not 65 pounds!).

Is it Friday yet?

What a week! The car breaks down (and I mean a slow death) in the middle of a snow storm and I am without a cell phone or gloves. Thank goodness there are still good people out there willing to help a girl in a bind. I walked into a complete stranger's house, used her phone and waited till a cab came. And my cab driver even held-off turning the meter on till traffic was moving.
I had the car towed to the dealership and learned that we needed a new battery and alternator. Since the car is almost 6 years old, it was due for some lovin' but what at time we have been having with cars lately. $2500 in repair costs and new tires since the first of December. Oh well - it's only money... right?
Food wise my week has been good. Hungry this week though. Could be the point adjustment from last week (dropped from 25 to 24). Thank goodness for flex points! APs are not so good either - I will get some tonight at kickboxing and I earned some walking on Saturday but that's it so far. I'm off tomorrow afternoon so if the weather cooperates I'll head out for a walk with my little family.

A new week and a continued committment

With two out of three of our little family sick, it was a quiet weekend in our household. I did make it out to WW to find out I was up .2. I had a good week - excercised and stayed OP. A small gain but it could be that I went down a point, TOM, the cold... who knows. I'm just recommitting this week to staying OP and keeping up the excercise. As the week goes on, I'll take it day by day. Best of luck to all of you!
