Another month almost gone

Well, another month is almost past which means we are that much closer to spring and summer which also means we are that much closer to shorts and tank top weather. Which I'm not too excited about, I really don't want to buy new shorts and summer wear. One of the guys at work and I are going to have a competition, starting April 1st, it is like the Moms Biggest Loser challenge I was in before. We will each pitch in $25 and whoever looses the most weight based on % will win the pot!! So far there are about 5 of us that are going to put money in so the winning pot will be $125!! :) The guy I work with wants to do our first and final weigh in at work where we are both witnesses but I'm not sure about the other friends that are going to get in on it, I think it will be hard to get everyone together, we might just have to trust them!? I think it will be good for me to be in this challenge, it will give me a goal and I really want to kick his butt!! I am also hoping though that by April 1st I can start my new diet plan and that will help me stay focused on the new plan and drop weight quickly!? And we are going to be doing it for 3 months, which will be right before the summer heat wave and I've heard that it takes 3 months to change a habit so hopefully that will be enough time for me to loose at least 25lbs (which is about half way to goal) and I will have lost my cravings for carbs! ;)

In other news .... Jacobs big boy bed FINALLY arrived from where ever it had to come from, so yesterday hubby went to pick up the boxes and last night he assembled it. Jacob was soooo excited to see his new bunk bed in his room, I thought we would have a tough time getting him to go to sleep just cause he was so excited but he actually slept really good!! We are still waiting for his mattress to arrive (suppose to be Sunday) so in the meantime we just slide the twin mattress under and took the planks off the frame which actually worked out good cause then the bed frame acted as one of those safety boards (which I still have to buy) so they don't roll out of bed in the middle of the night. I can't wait till his room is complete and set up for good! I will have to go shopping this weekend to buy sheets and a safety thing for his bed and then by Monday it will be all done!! :)

Tonight I plan on going to the gym for their Sprint Class, I LOVE the trainer that teaches this class. It is so much fun, she has different levels so you don't kill yourself and not want to go back and the music she plays isn't irritating like some of the other ones. I have been pretty disappointed lately with my weigh ins and feel like I'm going to the gym, sweating a lot and not seeing any results but I know it's only because I'm not following the plan 100%. I feel like there are some days were all I can think about is having a treat or snack on something I shouldn't. It's all I can think about, I imagine it is what an addict would feel like, which I suppose I am (addicted to food). I'm hoping that a new plan will let me see the results I long to see which will encourage me to stick to the plan and therefore always seeing results!? At least we can hope!! :)
