Another weigh in Saturday

Well I was off to WW this morning for another weigh in. I was down 0.2. Definitely in a pattern now. I'll committ to writing things don, staying OP and getting some APs this week and hopefully I'll be rewarded next week.

This afternoon we took my little girl for her first big girl hair cut. She was start to look like a little rag a muffin. With Easter and the big birthday around the corner, I thought she was due for a trim. We thought we would take her to a place in town called Cookie Cutters. They specialize in cutting childrens' hair. They have special chairs and dvd players at each station. More importantly, their hair stylists have more experience than me in cutting the hair of little squirmy 11-month-olds! Mao (our stylist) had the patience of a saint and did a great job of her hair.

An observation on other weight loss organizations...

In 2004, I ventured into the quick and dirty means of weightloss. While I won't use the name, it promised a "magical" solution to weight loss. And it clearly worked. I magically lost 30 pounds. (see Summer 2004 picture)

My downfall came with the onset of warm weather and my summer sports activities. The calories were not enough to sustain me (I mean I was famished ALL the time) and when I asked what I should do (within their program perameters) I was told to eat more vegetables. Yes because they give you that boost of energy you need to get you through a 2.5 hour soccer game. (she says sarcastically) So I managed to maintain for the summer. But I ate more than they recommended and as soon as I stopped excercising as much... the magic ended. I was like Cinderella - I had a short period of time where I felt awesome but than reality set in.

If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

Who knew fairy tales AND weightloss had so much in common.

Renewed my relationship with the scale

I know that WW recommends a once-a-week weigh in so I had put the scale away for a while but I pulled it back out last week. I find I stay on track better when I check-in mid-week to see what's going on (or not going on for that matter). This morning it showed I down a pound! Which puts me at .2 away from pre-pregnancy weight... YAY!

I ventured into the spare room to try on clothes. I do this once every couple of weeks. I try on clothes that I was wearing the summer I got pregnant. They fit. I think they are still in style! Now I just need the warmer weather to hit so I can actually wear them outside.

My little girl had a very restless sleep last night. I'm not sure what was the cause. She has 8 teeth at various stages of coming in but they are all through the gum and teething for her other 8 teeth was really a non-event. I wonder if she is coming down with something or perhaps she just had an off night... we all have them!
