This week has been another rough one! I am in process of switching jobs and the training for my new one is very stressful! I didn't get time to exercise very much last week but I think (for the most part) I stayed on track with trying to make healthy food choices. Usually during stressful times I would eat, eat, eat to feel better. Then I would end up getting more stressed out because I was pigging out. So I am thankful for my balance eating habits that I have been learning the past 14 months.

This week is going to be a challenge to exercise. I have to work a lot more than usual and If I do exercise it will have to be in the evenings (which is nearly impossible when my 4 kids are bugging me.) I have tried working out from home but my 2 year old is always "helping" me. We will see how it goes.

I totally forgot about the weigh-in. I remembered in the middle of the night on Saturday, so I got up got ready for work on Sunday (5am) without thinking about in again until I was walking out the door. My weight this month is fully clothed and I had already eaten/drank water. So 165 is really 160ish. This is awesome for me. I am not really even trying to diet (I was a little obsessed before). I am just making healthier choices and the weigh is still coming off. YEAH.

Halloween time! I love it. I must have to say I did splurge and have a delicious Pumpkin frosted sugar cookie (but only one instead of my normal 2 or ...5.) I have been going strong exercising but I can say I am only down about 4 or 5 lbs this month. I guess I have lost my focus on losing weight I am just more focused on toning up my body now.

This has been a weird week. Everyone keeps freaking out that I am still trying to lose weight and I must say I am starting to doubt myself. My friends and family keep telling me that I should not lose anymore weight. Has anyone else had this experience? It is kind of a downer to my spirit. My mom and husband are both worried that I am going to become a bean-pole and lose my curves. I still would like to lose 10-20 more pounds but I am not getting support from those dear to me. I don't know if I should continue this journey or just be happy where I am flucuating between 162-167 lbs.

HI, I am bloggin! Yah I didn't space it this time. My husband is out of the country so I am alone with my 4 kids! Trying to exercise is a joke. I was able to do a 20min Pilates video today with my 2 and 4 year old both helping! Hopefully I keep going strong with my weight loss.

Oh I am so terrible at blogging! I have done well this week with the weight loss, I lost 4 lbs so far. I worked over 40 hours this past Fri, Sat, Sunday and didn't even think about the fact that I did not blog. Oh Well! I guess the most important thing to me is that I have the motivation to lose the weigh from this competition, to me it is not about the money (even though it would have been nice.)
