1st Weigh in!

Today was our first weigh in, and I'm happy to announce that I am down 6.2lbs!!! :D And to think I wasn't even really 100%!? Just imagine the possibilities, as soon as I finish some stuff I had bought before my order came like carrots, yogurt and LF cheese sticks - I am going to try and eat less carb type fruit and veggies. Hopefully this will let me see another big loss next week!? So, I think we will just weigh ourselves as we want - Bryan likes to weigh himself almost everyday (sometimes twice a day!) and I am a once a week type weigher (cause I like to see a bigger #), then on July 1st (3 months from now) we will have our final weigh in where everyone will meet so we can see every ones numbers! Maybe make a little party out of it, present the winner with their money - confetti can fall from the ceiling!? ;) I pretty excited though, and I'm hoping to see a another big number next week!! :)

Not much else is new, we went shopping the other night to look at swing sets for Jacob - we found one we like so now I think we should just wait a few weeks to see if it goes on sale. We have FOUR birthday parties to attend in the next three weeks!! Two are turning 1, one is turning 4 and the other is 80!! he he We enrolled Jacob in gymnastics and I'm super excited to start, Jacob is a climbing machine!! We also start race season in a few weeks, which I'm also pretty excited for! Not only does it mean Jacob sleeps over at the Grandparents every Friday night but it also means a steady pay cheque for hubby!! Jacob is also having a sleepover at his Grandparents tonight, Grandma offered to take him so I could get my taxes done (which will probably take a few hours!), hopefully he will sleep good for them. We still have issues with him waking in the night, at least once. I actually bought a soother so that I could try and switch him to that instead of wanting the bottle at 5am! I think it is working, he likes to chew on it and seems to be drinking less milk. It probably isn't the best way to break a habit (by starting a new one) but I really want him to get off the bottle and start sleeping through the night! :( Hopefully soon it will start working?
