I say "goal" because the goal for WW is about 10 lbs more than MY goal. I dropped 10 lbs under that goal and felt AWESOME.
The 2lbs over is acceptable and reestablishes me as a LIFETIME member, which allows me back in the "club" and gives me free online tools to keep track of my food, weight, etc. For that I am so proud of myself. *pats back*
It's a great starting point, now comes the lose 10 lbs quest. :)

Bubba is learning about drugs in school. He's bugging the crap out of me every time I smoke or have a cup of coffee.
"There's caffeine in coffee, Mom."
"Yep."
"Caffeine is a drug."
"Yep."
"When are you going to quit smoking, Mom?"
"When I WANT to."
"Tobacco is a drug."
"Yep."
"You should stop drinking coffee and smoking."
"Bubba, there's caffeine in chocolate. How would you like me to throw away all of that Halloween and Christmas candy? Caffeine is a drug."
It shut him up, at least for that night.

Buggy continues to lose her mind.
If I hear one more time, "I lost my phone." or "I lost my house key." I might just lose my mind.
One day, she came home from school as normal, went to swim practice as normal. I came straight from work to pick her up from swim. We walk in the door together, my first time being home for the evening.
"Mom, where's my backpack?"
*chin hits floor*
"How would I know where your backpack is? I just walked in the door. Where did YOU put it when you got home?"
"I put it right here." She points to the kitchen floor, where there is NO backpack.
"Obviously, you did NOT, cause it's not there now."
This happening more and more often. I am not sure how to get her focused.
She comes home, drops her swim bag (with wet suit and towel) and goes about her night. She calls me the next day, "Where's my bathing suit?"
I'm going to flip my lid

So that's what's been up with us. Good times.
Good job! You can drop the 10lbs no problem, it just takes a bit of focus.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you on the 10 yo driving you crazy. Mine just waved me away like he's a king telling me he doesn't like cucumbers. Well, I guess he's the dictator and I am the bloody slave. I blew my lid. Seriously blew it.
Well the kids look fantastic, and I bet you can get that 10lbs off in no time.
ReplyDeleteLOL Oh yes my DD is now 13 and there seems to be a big fuzzy cloud that surrounds all things? Focus, no, apparentaly that is not her job!
ReplyDeleteGlad that the weight was not as bad as you thought. Does she have ADHD? Sounds a bit like it.
ReplyDeleteGood job for you on WW! I have recently lost 20 pounds on WW and am at their goal. I would like to lose another 5 (maybe a little more) and so I will use you as motivation!
ReplyDeleteI lose my keys at least once a day..its a never ending battle.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss! That is great!
Have you been hanging out in my house? We go through the lost item BS almost every day. I can't tell you how many times I have said to my child, "Don't get mad at ME because YOU lost something! It's not my job to keep up with your stuff!"
ReplyDeleteAs for WW, I've done it. It's a lot harder than people think. You don't realize how much you eat (well, I don't) until you start counting every GD morsel. Kudos to you for meeting any of the goals--yours or theirs. Every pound lost is a hard-won victory.
Don't you wish The concern and Drug awareness would last them thru HS.
