My online support group does weigh-ins on Friday.  The past few weeks on WW have been hard.  I’ve been tired, hungry, and slightly demotivated.  I hit a plateau in my workouts and couldn’t push through them and my schedule has been all screwed up with the girls being out of camp/preschool.  But today, I got a new motivation.  I am literally 1 pound away from hitting 30 pounds lost. 

School starts next week (for Lily - still one more week to go with Arden).  I can go back to my morning workouts without inconveniencing Mike or traumatizing the girls by “forcing them” to play at the Y in the afternoon. 

After doing a bit of self-analysis, I have a feeling that losing it is, relatively speaking, the easy part.  Living this way for the rest of my life might be just a tad bit more challenging.  I’m putting my 12-step hat on and taking it one day at a time. 

On another note, Lily and I went to her 1st grade open house yesterday.  She was dreading it, primarily because she loves her babysitter and didn’t want to waste precious time with silly things like school and meeting her new teacher and seeing her desk.  She was really shy and hid behind me most of the time.  We visited Mrs. Daniels, and she finally came out of her shell a bit to hug her.  Her new teacher seems great and she has a “big girl” desk (last year they sat at tables of four).  I for one am totally ready for school to start!  Can I get a hurray?
